Becoming Water

Be like water
Perhaps if I had seen this last night, I would not have had my panic attack this morning.
As it were, everything will be fine, when Adam comes home on Friday. The leak in the upstairs bathroom floor dripping into the ceiling onto the downstairs hallway floor will be fixed. The ceiling will be repaired by a very knowledgable husband. And everyone in the house will be reminded, and remember (myself included), to turn off all the shower faucets completely and tightly after showering, otherwise the leaking will continue. If I have to I will put a plastic container in the corner by the tub to catch any water that splashes out so it doesn't drip on the floor and especially into that corner.
I also need to take a few deep breaths, maybe some ashwagandha and theanine.
All will be well.

All is well. All is well. All is well.
Turn tape over
All is well. All is well.
(And anyone who gets that reference gets a cookie)

It is going to be 114 degrees today. No kidding. That's the heat index for Washington DC. They claim the actual temperature will be 101, but I don't believe them. I wish I'd remembered my hat.
At least our AC works just fine.

Eeew, icky heat, that blows. It was 117 here a few weeks ago. I don't care to find out what the heat index was. Thats staying inside weather.

Wait, the actual temperature itself was 117? I am so sorry. People must have dropped dead. In fact, I think I read somewhere that in some areas of California, people were dying in rapid numbers...

yeah, that was the ACTUAL temperature. We were at a festival when it was like this too, surrounded by black asphalt.

It's gotten up to 97 in England this summer, they city isn't prepaired for this kind of heat, it ended up causing some serious structural damange.

I'd be tempted to use the a/c if it was that warm here. Fortunattely, Florida has been comfortably in our typical upper 90s weather. I am completely adapted to that level of heat. Anyway, I suggest that you go for a swim.
