well this was fun

It was rather warm last night and hot upstairs. I had opened the windows to get a breeze going through but some yahoo in the neighbourhood had had a bonfire and this meant the smoke/scent lingered and came in. This drove Mr. Jenner crazy as it woke him out of his sleep so he closed the windows. But it made things more hot. This drove me slightly bananas. Suddenly he got up in the middle of the night and was making a racket downstairs. I came down to see what he was up to. I found him in the back bedroom and he had this crazed look upon his face and in his hands he had what appeared to be fans from a computer. He said to me, "I invented an invention." He came up stairs and put this fan on with an ice pack (wrapped up in a towel) in front of it. Yes. He created a swamp cooler. It did cool me off but did nothing for him. But still you have to admire his cleverness in a state of sleep deprivation and desperation. The only other downside to his invention was that it was noisy.
Thankfully a breeze picked up outside and we were able to open the windows. It wasn't a great night for sleep but we eventually had some.

I did reach a point this morning when I knew I was short on sleep. I was driving home from taking the kids to school and I suddenly thought of Kanye West and of that South Park episode with his character and fish sticks. I said "Fish sticks" out loud and began to laugh manically. I stopped laughing and thought, "Jesus Christ Gen, you need a nap."
Instead I went running while it was slightly cool out. I still sweated in an ugly way.

Now I am watching Midsomer Murders. Where murder is a legitimate past-time. Like a tennis or collecting vintage badges.
