Today we reached a hight of 117, and tomorrow it is supposed to be 119, but what are a couple of degrees between friends.  Not a great day all around.  At about 5pm, when the movers were supposed to arrive, I called, and they hadn’t left LA yet, and he said because of the heat, they would not get here until tomorrow morning.  That throws a whole new level of anxiety into the trip up north.  We can leave later, which isn’t really a terrible problem, except, it will be almost 120  Fortunately, once we get out of the valley, it will cool off, but getting out will be the hard part.

We tried to cool off in the pool, and yes, it makes a difference, but the water is now almost 95!  The AC has been working overtime, and I dread seeing the electric bill!  Our landlord in NY is also causing me angst.  He sent an email – no message, just pictures of the floor with scratches, and I am figuring that he is looking to keep a chunk of the security deposit.  His is such a pig.  Fortunately, I have at least one photo of the apartment before we moved in that shows one of the scratches.  I just don’t need this right now, and my guess is he thinks that I won’t fight him on it, but he has another thing coming.  I will wait to hear what the agent says and then get a lawyer.  The agent told me how great the apartment looked too.

Just not my day.  Tomorrow will be better, I hope.
