It's finally cooled off.

Tonight, there's a breeze blowing in from the west. That sounds all kinds of prophetic, doesn't it? But here it really means that the ocean breeze is finally making its way in, and it will cool things down. It's been over 100 degrees out the past two days; the weather has really been unfit for human consumption. And we have no air conditioning. And I've worked, and it's been warm there, too, but not as bad as it was here.

So on days like these the last thing I really want to do is give massages, you know? But every time I go to do a massage when I wish I didn't have to, I realize what a gift it is for me as well as providing a service for my client. Because inevitably on those bad-mood, don't want to be here days, I inevitably meet someone very lovely or have a great massage experience. In fact, I think I do better on those days than the days I'm raring to go. Probably because ego doesn't get in the way.

And so it's cooler here, and moods everywhere should improve significantly. When it's that hot, it's hard to get motivated to do anything. Even driving over to get into Grandma's pool feels like a strain. So this westerly wind is such a relief. I feel human again.
