That did it, woke me right up. Fortunately, it did not go on for long. I laid there for two hours before I gave up and got up. Watched some shows I have recorded on my DVR but could still not fall asleep.
I have been looking for three documents for some time now. I am sure they are here and not in Houston but just the thought of having to go through all my boxes is discouraging. I remember when I was so organized while working a full-time job and frequently having to shuttle back and forth from Houston to Del Rio. What excuse do I have now?
Not surprisingly we have been having power spikes though they only last a few seconds they mess up the cable box and internet and it takes 9 minutes for them to boot back up. Why does it take so long? I got tired of resetting the clocks so I just disconnected them as well as the flashing microwave.
While it has been hotter than usual in all the nation it has been the same or near the same in Del Rio in the 102 to 104-degree range. Not even an e-mail from Dairy Queen offering a free small cone today to celebrate National Ice Cream Day lured me to drive to town. Already had my cone last week.
We are finally going to get a break on Tuesday as thunderstorms are forecasted that will lower the temperatures to the low 90's. We need some rain as the ground is starting to show it.

Hope my readers did not suffer too much under this heatwave, in particular, those that live in areas that do not normally need air conditioning during the summer months. Have an early appointment tomorrow so plan on going to bed at a reasonable hour and hopefully get a good nights rest.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
