Tuxie Tuesday and a Mim-may Update

It was hot and sticky here in New Hampster yesterday and the weather guys say it will be like that all week. The recliner in the sewing studio is a comfy and cool place to nap, so I am hanging out here.

Mim-may came through surgery with flying colors and she could go home very soon. She has two screws in her hip, and the surgeon said, "That's going to hurt."  Mim-may says it does, but it's better than the alternative.

Ask me how I know this.




(for those that do not know, I have a titanium rod in one of my legs after it got broken when I was hit by a car.)

Tuesday

It's been kinda warm here. We've finally got The Hots. I've been so hot I've been camping out under the bed, and Mom hasn't been able to get any pictures of me. This morning I jumped up on the table to get a few scritches.

I also tried to remind Mom that it's time for the air colditioner to go in the window.

Thinking Thursday

Mom took the air colditioner out of the window, and naturally it got hot yesterday (it was up to 93F).  I'm thinking maybe that wasn't a good idea.

Heh

Fallback Friday

As long as we are going through old photos, here's one to show that I can show little Yoda a thing or two about flexibility. This was taken in August of 2007.

The HOTS are still here, and today is supposed to be super duper, almost triple-digit HOT. 

Tuxie Tuesday... with 'Nip

After Mom got dressed this morning she went outside to water her garden. When she came back in she brought me two sprigs of fresh 'Nip!

Oh, it's a wonderful day.

The Hots

Yup, we got the hots, and as you can see, they are going to be here for a while.  Three consecutive days of 90+ temps means we have a heat wave.

I'll be hiding out under the bed where it's cooler.

Sticky Monday

It's hot here, but nowhere near as hot as it is out west. Here it's sticky, and that's very uncomfortable. The weather guys say it will be like this most of the week. 

It's a good thing I have lots of cool places to nap.

The Big W

As you know Mom and I are big tennis fans. Right now the biggest tennis tournament of them all, Wimbledon, is taking place now. Mom was shocked when Nadal lost in the first round, but Steve Darcis played magnificently. We have a soft spot in our hearts for Roger Federer, who has won the big W seven times, but this year Mom wants Andy Murray to win.

We were very sad to see the Bruins lose last night. Since we are part of Red Sox Nation, the "Broons" are our guys on ice.

It's been wicked hot. (We say "wicked" a lot here in New England.)

I've been hiding in all the cool spots, which is why there isn't a picture of me here today. Instead, here's a picture of how green it is here in the summer in lovely New Hampster.

Millie Monday

Sometimes it can be so hard to find the perfect spot.

Easy Like a Hot Sunday Morning

Sometimes Mom doesn't know where I am. I am in this picture. Can you find me?

Yup, I am on one of the chairs.

Since the chairs are pushed against the table, it is not always easy for Mom to see where I am.

I will be staying cool today. I hope you are having a good day too.

What Do You Do When It's Ninety-Two?

Find a cool spot (see the fan in the corner?)

Take a nap.

If you're Mom, you make a nice healthy lunch (The recipe is here) and sit back on the couch and watch tennis on TV.

Thursday Things

It's so important to exercise regularly. I like to get my workout in before the hots get too hot. It is supposed to hit 90F (32.2C) today.

Mom had a tough time getting to sleep last night, and then a big BANG woke her up. It was the sound of a teenage sticky people slapping a stop sign, so Mom expected to hear laughing afterwards, but she didn't hear anything. She got up and looked out the window, but she didn't see anybody. It was foggy and she couldn't see much anyway. She got back into bed and tried to get back to sleep, but then she heard a "Beep-Beep-Beep" and could see some flashing lights, so she got up to look again.

On the next block over, a metal masheen had driven into another metal masheen that was parked on the side of the street.  Both cars were banged up, and were being towed away. So you know Mom, she had to watch for a while.

Weather Wednesday

The hots are coming. We're supposed to have a heat wave, which is 3 or more days in a row with the temperature 90F (32.2C)  or higher. I'm getting ready. 

Heh.

Mom says we are also supposed to have some strong crack-and-boom storms today. I'll be under the bed when they come through.

Sweltering Saturday

It's really hot and sticky out. I know it's really really hot in a lot of places, and I hope you are staying cool. 

My Mom loves me so much she turned on the air-colditioner just for me.

Tomorrow my favorite tennis player, Roger Federer, will play in his 8th Wimbledon final. I'll be watching.  Stay cool, friends!
