IT IS HOT & NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT

posted by MISA ✿ 1:12 PM ✿ mood: MELTING ✿ temperature: illegal

Misa lying on a sunny wooden deck beneath a slatted pergola, the tip of her tongue poking out, a lemon tree and blue sky behind the slats — I located the only shade on this entire property. I am not negotiating.

Let me describe my morning to you. I went outside. The sun was on. Not a little on. Fully on. Somebody has left the sun completely on and, as far as I can tell, there is no one in charge of it.

I have since identified one (1) rectangle of shade beneath the slats out back, near the lemon tree. I have claimed it. I will die there if I must, and honestly, at these temperatures, I may.

Inside this house there is a machine that makes cold air. A magnificent machine. The greatest invention of any species. And yet I am out here, in the sun, like some kind of outdoor animal.

Misa lying with her head flat on a wooden deck, one eye half open, a black cat lying beside her looking at the camera — Day 4 of the heat. My associate and I have suspended all operations. Neither of us has moved.

Misa standing on a striped mown lawn in bright sun, one eye squinted shut, one ear flipped back, rail fence and agave behind — Daddy calls this "a nice sunny walk." Note the eye. The eye tells the true story.

If you are reading this and you own a cold-air machine, please know that you are living a life I can only dream of, and also please adopt me.
