That's How Izzy Rolls

Obviously a new catch phrase. Calvin coined it after watching Isabelle flop out of the truck post-marathon nap.
"That's How Izzy Rolls".


WEDNESDAY
Was almost 95 percent humidity. Soaking wet. Couldn't breathe. I woke up at 3AM to turn on the swamp cooler and it still couldn't cool the house down at that time of morning. Felt like a massive rock on the top of my chest. Neither of us could sleep. I turned on a fan directly on us. When we woke up that morning, all the windows in the house had a fine sheen of moisture on them.


Isabelle came into our room to sleep by the bed.
Something must have frightened her during the night?


Biked, tanned, picked up pinecones, started on sewing quilt, washed Izzy's bed.
Didn't really want to do too much as it was too humid.


Greg worked on fixing diggy things on VZ equipment. New rules, money tight at VZ, no overtime. Bad times. Management being cheap - so Greg puts in regular ticket and he can repair their stuff for them.


The Locating contractors that VZ hired have had more cuts in 1 month than in the previous 12 months combined. VZ is now looking to get out of the contract. Love to say "Told You So" to those butt-hos. VZ is also looking to sell any property they can - obviously trying to find a way to declare a profit to shareholders. I repeat- beware of this company.

THURSDAY
FYI - I biked a total of 81.3 miles last week.


This morning I only biked 10 miles. Still humid. But not as bad as yesterday.
Think pancakes sound good after seeing the picture on my kid's blog site. She made pancakes, bacon, & eggs for their breakfast the other day.


Will probably sew on quilt more today, straighten out the rat's-nest of extension cords that hubby has in the garage.


4th of July will probably be a BBQ at the Fireworks stand in A-town, Richie C has invited us down for FREE BBQ & drinks. Plus fireworks. Bayview's fireworks will be on Saturday night directly after the boat parade.


Sure wish the kids were here to share the fireworks with us!

We sure wish we were there too. No one is doing anything here for the 4th. There are a bunch of British A-holes protesting the US military at the 4th of July function the bases put on, so we won't be going to that - again.
Glad I could inspire you for pancakes. I keep wanting to make them for dinner because that picture just looks soooo good.
Miss you. Miss Dad. Miss Izzy.

Swamp coolers don't work when the humidity gets too high. Don't know what "too high" is. 50%+? The evaporation that they rely on does not happen, which accounted for your wet windows. :)
