We decided to leave the third floor door open last night, let the cool, conditioned air seep down to where Watt and I sleep. We have had enough of this heat. Thea woke me at 2, paws on the edge of the bed, nose in my face. Couldn't get back, so about 3 I got up and went to work. Got a lot done. Yesterday was full of disappointment. Today I told people what I thought.
