Daily Diary, Day 716: Another hot day, but we seem to have finally figured out the combination of opening up, using fans, and closing up so the house stays pleasant until late afternoon. That's when the sun hits the back of the house, which is unfortunately where the den with TV and kitchen are located.
we could skip watching TV, but, for two people who have been working at our computers all day, TV is about all we are good for after 6:30 pm. There is a flex alert (supposed to conserve energy) between 4-9 today, although it doesn't seem it is any hotter today than yesterday. We pretty much just have the TV and fans on during that time anyway, although will turn off the fans until 9 tonight.
I did get 1223 words written yesterday, and I do have about 3 hours to write this afternoon, so lets see how productive I am. I did work some this morning, but mostly had to come up with a bunch of names and descriptions since I had started a new chapter in a brand new location so less than 100 words.
I thought it was time for a little pink, so here is a yard decoration that caught my fancy on my walk. Enjoy!
