Ho Hum! Will Summer Never End?

I'm afraid the doldrums of summer have set in on this old gal. The combination of the heat and oppressive humidity tends to keep me inside, enjoying breathable air conditioning. As a result, I often find myself suffering from what my grandmother used to call "cabin fever" and what seems to be an ever present feeling of Yuck!

Gas prices are so out of this world that (thankfully) I don't need to go anywhere very often in my car. Air conditioner is kaput in my car (can't afford to get it fixed until my ship comes in - doubt it will ever sail, you understand), which results in opening the windows while driving. There's nothing as pleasant as driving in 98 degree heat, with nearly the same humidity figure, all the windows open and feeling as if the heat from a very hot oven is blowing on me! Forgive the word pleasant interjected in the last sentence - I used that descriptive word with "tongue in cheek!"

To help me get over the doldrums in which I've found myself, I thought I would vent a little while about a certain individual (who shall remain nameless at this point) who continues to show me (and others) how impossible it is for a tiger to change its spots!! This person is the biggest liar, sneakiest snake, and cheatingest creep (is there such a word as cheatingest ??) one could ever not wish to come across in this world. This individual would climb a tree to tell a lie as stay on the ground to tell the truth, while never having an original thought - EVER! When things don't go according to this person's mindset, chaos reigns until a situation is completely destroyed to build up this one's idea of perfection!

However, there is good news hidden within the depths of this tale. Friendships have developed and grown into a closeness resembling family as a result of this person's endeavors to keep it from occurring. Isn't it wonderful how good always seems to come out of something bad? The more this person tries to tear us apart, the closer we get!! Doesn't make "you know who" very happy, either! Too bad, how sad!!!

Okay! I'm done! Anyone who knows me and reads this posting will know immediately about whom I wrote, but you notice I was very careful to not mention any name or gender!!!!! Gotta cover my butt, you understand!! :::giggle:::

Micky Finn will walk to the mailbox to collect the monthly bills and continue to hibernate inside until summer is over!

Hello Mickey,
Sorry I haven't been around for a while. With this part time job, and never knowing what my schedule will be from one week to the next, and having to help my husband with the yard work, plus my own things that need done in the house, it seems I don't get around to blogs like I use to.

I do have only one now, every once in a while I sitll post something at blogspot, but mostly it's at efx2. I'm oldladylincoln.efx2.com I still mostly post jokes and cartoons, but I enjoy doing that.

I don't even get around to Mama Mouse like I use to.

Right now we're waiting for our son and his wife, they're flying in from Fla and will be here till Tuesday.

We've been having that horrible humidity here also. I just can't stand it, I don't know what we would do without out AC.

You take care. When Winter arrives we'll wish we had some of this heat again. Ha!Ha! Give Miss Freckles a pat on the head for me.

Patty
