Surviving The Weather

[sakon76]

Since it was going to hit the low 100s yesterday (I think Anaheim's high for the day was, in fact, 106), Squiddle and I went down to my parents' place in Fountain Valley for the day. Which was still a touch oppressive, getting up to 96, but better than here. They don't have central air either, so when Squiddle started getting unhappy with the heat, I stripped him naked and let him run around in their shower a couple of times, just putting him back into his diaper in between. Cooler toddler = less whiny toddler. Stayed down there into the evening, when Wonderful Husband arrived from work. We went out to dinner and drove home; Squiddle was asleep before we even got back to our hot house, and barely woke up as I changed him into an overnight diaper and put him to bed, opening doors and windows along the way to let the house breathe and vent out its heat.

Fortunately the temperature dropped overnight, so we slept with the windows open. The portable aircon unit makes it hard for me to sleep when we use it, as it cycles up and down all night long. Right now the house is quite pleasant, but it's probably time to shut it up for the day. It's supposed to still be hot, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. And we're going to my parents' again today, if nothing else then to collect the kitten whom we get to kitten-sit over the next several days while my parents go visit their boat. Half the time Squiddle likes petting and playing with Rey, half the time he's upset by her chasing him....
