31 July 2006

It was supposed to start hitting three digits tomorrow, with the heat lasting for three days, but along about 10 AM, the thermometer was already showing close to 103.  We had some stuff we couldn’t put off today, but the rest of the week, we’re pretty much planning to stay inside with the A/C running!  Friday’s supposed to be cooler, and I’m hoping that part is accurate.

I found the CD with my beloved Word Perfect, so I’ll finally be getting that installed, along with Paradox, which is on the same disk.  Then I’ll have to see if I can find my "Books" database disk — if not, I’ll be having a debate with myself whether or not I want to go through all the work of re-constructing it and re-inputting everything!  I suppose the one good thing about the heat wave is that I’ll have absolutely no desire to do anything outside, or very strenuous, despite the A/C.

The dogs, of course, are upset with us, but it’s much too hot to take them out for a run — especially Sable, who’s right around 14 and black, so the heat really bothers him.

Whee!  Found the database disk, and the computer I was using before was also XP Home Edition, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to bring it up with no problem.  Wish me luck, please!

Worst comes to worst, I’ve always got a couple of jigsaw puzzles to play with … :)
