zeptember

The temperature outside finally broke just before 3pm.

It’s no longer 95F.

It’s only 93F.

gah.

The coolest part of the house is starting to heat up now, too. And there’s two and a half hours left to go in the workday.

And there’s no air conditioned stores within easy walking distance from the house. And I don’t have the base to the car seat because they never gave it to me, so I can’t load the kid in the car and take her somewhere cooler.

Ugh.

Thankfully she’s not overheated - she’s doing fine and well there’s always the baby bath if she does start to overheat.

4pm edit: Ok so now on top of the heat there’s a big fire somewhere. I just opened the kitchen window to see if there was a cool breeze yet. There isn’t - still too hot - with choking forest fire smell.

Somehow I think we’re going to surpass the forecast high again today.

12:38pm Edit: …and there it is…

It’s not even 9:30am and it’s already 76°F outside. The temperature has risen six degrees in the past hour.

I didn’t bring a lunch today because I am dumb. I will need to walk over to the local Taqueria to get something. This could prove challenging depending on when the baby is awake or in need of feeding or whatnot. Glad I brought extra protein bars. I could probably also raid the fridge here.

I was able to get a same-day doctor appointment yesterday and also allowed to leave work an hour early to make it to said appointment.

The doctor felt my shoulders and neck and said what all the doctors always say:

… OH MY GOD!!!

Yeah, it’s tight. I am not lying about this. My back locks up. I went through the whole story of the car accident again, too, because no doctor previous to this one ever takes notes on this sort of thing, or else the current doctor on staff is always too lazy to read my file.

So I got a prescription for muscle relaxers, and she was so nice as to give me 30 of them. I also found out I have a refill on the anti-anxiety meds, so I’ll get that taken care of, too.

With regards to the bump in my hand - not imagining that, either.

The doctor says I have a ganglion cyst, and she’s referred me to a HAND SURGEON.

Great. Two months before my wedding, and I have to have a surgery. Have I mentioned that the health insurance runs out tomorrow? Yeah, my man got a new job, so his health insurance, which I’m covered on, is dead, Jim, until the new job’s health insurance kicks in, which could be a month from now.
So if I DO need hand surgery, it’s going to have to freakin wait.

*sigh*

As if I needed one more thing to worry about right now.

Weather forecasters = FAIL (again)

High of 85 and it’s 91?
