early in the morning looking for the coffee shop

Aiieee, it’s been in the humid 80s most of the past week and it is driving me batty. It’s OCTOBER, for (Al) Gore’s sake! We’ve already deployed the Halloween dish towels!! Actually those exclamation points are poorly-placed: really the heat + humidity is making me sluggish + cranky.
I really wanted to wash the windows this weekend, but just could not manage it in the heat. So I weeded the filing cabinet instead. Who knew how much old paperwork we had? After clearing out approximately 1.5 linear feet of it (not sure exactly — I’m not an archivist) there was a huge mountain o’ shredding to be done. Even after enlisting a pint-sized helper it took more than a day to finish, and now I have 2 garbage bags full of shred to recycle. Wahoo!
The heat is supposed to break this week, so I expect I won’t be able to evade the window-washing for much longer. It’ll be worth it for cooler weather, though. I am so completely over full-body sunscreen + sweating. Let’s go, Fall!
