i seriously do not know.
this is the end (?) of the first, and possibly only, heatwave here in 2009.
no one knows if it's the end, because our weatherpeople do not know. they just say things like "muggy heat will continue into the weekend", and "there is a possibility of storms for the rest of the week".
i could do this, and i will, for less money, if anyone would let me. "it's looking like the hours between 10am and 2pm will be lit by the sun. back to you, jim."
(yes, i know the difference between the guy that just reports what's on the map, and the lady who is a meteorologist, but right now, i honestly don't care. it's too muggy to care.)
either way, the humidity can be measured by what i call "the wax paper factor".
i look at the trees that are scattered across a block into the west.
if it's really, really, really humid, it looks like there's a piece of wax paper between us.
"sorta" humid is if you were capable of slicing a piece of said paper through the middle, maybe make it as thin as rice paper. that would be less humid looking. but it's still called the wax paper whatever, because i thought of that first.
i'm trying to not think about how hot it is here in the shop, (i own, along with my husband, an antique shop. which means i'm here all of the time, and he's not.) and how i've had two people in all day and no sales. oh, and how i'm stuck here for another hour and a half. oh, and how my husband opened up the bedroom window again after my asking, and then telling him not to, because that's the only room in this warehouse with air-conditioning, and now it's all bloody humid again, and it will be when i get upstairs.
wth? did his brain melt? i know that my tolerance has...pms never melts, it just makes you feel angry while you're crying and thinking stupid things, like "i feel like dying. no, wait...why would i want to die? i want to beat HIS nose in, and eat some ice cream, and have a few white russians, then i'll feel better." but, no sales = no white russians f0r k8. and it's still humid.
