It's getting hot in here...

So...one would assume moving to the mountains would equal a cooler climate...not true. Don't get me wrong it's MUCH cooler here in general than Smithfield...but it is still not up to my cool standards.

I do not have air conditioning in my apartment...I've only lived in one other place that didn't have air and that was in Denmark where it is super cool and I could leave the windows open (I can leave the windows open here...but i'm scared and people can easily climb in and abduct me :)). Today was unbearable and poor George has been feeling the brunt of it... So, with that being said i did was any heat stroked southern girl would do...I went shopping.

Apparently winter is coming to Denver in a month (joy), so no place around here sells portable air conditioners. I went to 5 different stores, drove over 40 miles around town and spend 5 hours shopping. I came home with a humidifier and two box fans.

It's better...but it's still a Nelly song.

On a happier note, George and I have started his new walking routine. We get up pretty early and walk to a park called Hungarian Freedom Park. It's only a block away and he seems to enjoy it. There is a large apartment building really close to my apartment and I pass it every time we go for a walk, I think the majority of the residences are retired people, I've seen a lot of elderly citizens. There is one particular couple that I've seen on various benches EVERY time I walk. They are there at 8:00 A.M. and again at 7:00 P.M. They just sit and smile, it's really sweet and I always say hello...well today, as I was walking by they mentioned how cute George was (which is totally true) and we chatted, as i was walking away...the lady barked at me. So now it's a mystery, sweet old couple may of turned into weird old couple in an instant. I'll keep you posted on their mental health status, if she continues to bark at us I may change routes.

After the A.M. walk we head home and do the tasks for the day. I try to have the last walk be a short one and end around 9:45 a.m. I'm still a little apprehensive about walking around alone late at night...but I'm getting better.

Check out the park...Hungarian Freedom Park
