School's Out!

School's out, just like that Alice Cooper song I like! Now it's summer vacation, all except for the 12 YR old who's behind in his math and will have to do it during the summer until it's all done. it's finally feeling like summer,too, after a cool spring. Now the average temp is around 28 C with a humidex of 34 C - 38 C. It's soooo hot, in fact, I feel like I'm melting when I'm out there getting my suntan now I even have to go and cool myself off under the hose every 15 minutes or so as I feel so over-heated and like I'm getting heatstroke and am about to faint. The guy's coming to open the pool on Tuesday next week, just in time. Up until this week it hadn't been warm enough to swim but now it sure is! The neighbour across the street just opened her pool yesterday and here July is typically the hottest month.

You can see in the photo here with me tanning if you look closely you can even see the beads of sweat, Yup.Hot, sultry, scorching hot. I do like the heat, just not the humidity. It's way too hot for poor Buddy though with his fur coat and he either stays in the shade now or just goes inside. When it gets too overwhelming for me I have to go in the shade for awhile to cool off,too. I also saw a hawk fly by yesterday and a woodpeacker in our tree the other day too and when I asked the 16 YR old You'll never guess what kind of bird I saw in our tree? She goes, A peacock? yeah....ok...right.... a peacock in Canada.... not unless it escaped from the zoo, ha, ha....it also reminds me of that time playing Trivial Pursuit as a teen and I got the question What is the correct name of a female peacock? and I just thought they were all called peacocks....so my mother prompts me, Well, what's the opposite of cock? and I just automatically blurted out Cunt.....oh, my God! You mean it's actually called a peaCUNT? and she laughed and goes, No! HEN! It's a peaHEN! ha ha, ooops.

I was also excited to get a new book to read and the 24 YR old says reading is for "nerds" and even though I live in a family of nerds I am NOT a nerd and reading is NOT for nerds; I don't like math, anime, superheroes,Dungeons & Dragons, etc. and I have a shaved head, tattoos, smoke weed, and like heavy music; I am NOT a nerd and I publically declare I am not a nerd. There's nothing wrong with being a nerd, mind you, but he's trying to say that I'm something I'm not. I think I got ripped-off, too: it's been 2 months  since I ordered that weed T-shirt and PAID for it but it still hasn't arrived and I sent multiple e-mails to the company asking about the status of my order and still never got a reply.....it figures, just my "luck"....typical.
