Some Like It Hot

As much as I am looking forward to the Olympics, I'm thinking about postponing them. I am on vacation starting this Saturday, and was planning on having the Olympics the Saturday after that, the 6th and 7th of August. I'm just afraid there might be a death toll if I have the Olympics then. We're having a tsunami of a heat wave. The heat index has been averaging 115 degrees. The other night the low was 80 degrees. It's so hot, the fire alarms at my house started going off because it must have been about 300 degrees in the attic. I'm glad my husband isn't still driving the Bel Air. Even driving 70 with all four windows down it would be like a convection oven.

Another reason to postpone the Olympics is because I don't know if my mom and dad can come up from Texas that weekend. My dad has been having a problem with his blood pressure. Maybe Mom can give an update on that. Last time I talked to them, he was doing better, but the doctor wants to keep an eye on him. The Olypics wouldn't be the same without them.

On a brighter note, my two new cats are getting along great. They love each other. My husband was walking down the hall last night and saw them loving each other right on the floor. We know the male is fixed, and think the female is, too, but they were getting some kitty loving anyway. I thought they would eventually get along, but I didn't think they would be doing the wild thing.
