crap it's hot out there


i cannot help but check the bloody weather every couple of hours & right now it's 89 degrees. it is expected that it will be above 90 degrees by 8pm tonite. holy crap! training tonight will be like bikram yoga where all the muscles will (hopefully) allow manipulation & flexibility. quan tuo said the temple was so humid last night & i am not looking forward to that. but the body needs to train & it's been many days since i trained last thursday. i was exhausted last night & opted to lounge around & read (to quiet the noisy mind) instead of sweating while stretching as i found that the least amount of movement equals less perspiration (at least in my flat). this morning i awoke to remembering dreams with a nightmarish quality to them, involving, of all things, my sweet boy tentoes. with strange symbolism. i am still not sure what that is all about. regardless it left a residue that lingers still now.

*************

i checked in with quan tuo & he said the boyos seem to be doing alright & for that i am glad. this heatwave is only going to get worse after the expected thundershowers for the remainder of the week. it'll be hard for my boy bunny who gets so scared. you can't exactly close the windows since it's damned hot & i don't care what you say, boyos will not stay in the only room with AC all day. we have to sort it out again as we do each year.

it's boy bunny's 8th birthday coming up on sunday. i think i'll have a little party for the dogs & dogowner friends. something easy, maybe sangria & snacks. will have to pick quan tuo's brain. i cannot believe machiavelli is going to be 8 although i was there for most of it, adopting him at 5 or 6 weeks old. my lovey & i have been through many things together. i cannot even put into words how much i love this dog (& his brother too!) but there is something so very special about your first, you know? i am grateful for every day with the dogs - they have been the source of a lot of joy in my life. plus they are so good-looking, hee3.

lately i have been making a point to show tenzin lama some extra love. he is such a good little brother & i could not have asked for a better addition to the cult of personality at home. i have been quite entertained by teno's work to build an alliance with quan tuo. luckily he loves the boyos, that never ceases to amaze me [though i think my boyos are easy to love] because he certainly need not love them. it's a great deal.

we will have their friend nina over beginning tomorrow through the weekend. she is good fun for us & the boys. although that whiptail, dear god, hurts like a mofo! mac will have company in his thunderstorm angst so we have to devise a way to appease the savage, frightened beasts in their instinct to dig a hole & hide. dogs are the funniest people.

************************

quan tuo & i are planning on moving out of our flat by end of year/beginning of next. it's time to go. the rents in the hood are outrageous & the landlord is an idiot. i've loved that place but it's time to move on & it will be great to get a new place together. for the time being, we are going to let out the office to a boarder, to help curb costs. this can be an irritating process but with experience & set guidelines, i think it can be workable enough. in the past the german & the tibetan worked out very well & both are still very much in touch. of course dog lovers are a must. my boyos demand to be loved but are very reciprocal.

oh changes are afoot. could be that's what's feeding my strange dreams. well that & it's almost july. the time of birthdays for a lot of people i love. bloody cancers always get to me.

enough random thoughts.
more chi!
