IT'S LIKE CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP OUT THERE!

Yes, it's 88 degrees and the "RealFeel" is 104 degrees.  They are calling for a "RealFeel' tomorrow of 117 degrees!  Yes, that's not only cream of Broccoli soup but soup so thick the spoon gets stuck.  And since it is impossible to work in this weather, i might get some photo editing done, which is what i need to do anyway, thank you mother nature! yeah, right....

But chores still need to be done and since the external meltdown of my body begins at approximately 10 minutes after exposing myself to such extreme weather conditions, i set myself up on a course of accomplishment to do the chores in this manner:

• grabbing the milking bucket, i stand by the front door, just about to open it, taking one last, deep breath of cool air
• i quickly open the door, being blasted by a cloud of steaming, hot air in the face, i hold my breath
• i walk at a brisk pace, but not too fast as any extra exertion creates a shorter meltdown time
• entering the barn, i put on my light, long sleeve jacket ( I am extremely allergic to hay - any touch on my arms creates welts)
• I set the hay out, give the two horses their grain
• milk more quickly then a jackrabbit being pursued by a coyote
• return grain fed horses to the outdoors.
• at this point it has been approximately 8 minutes - meltdown is about to begin.  I can feel the sweat beading up on my forehead, i try desperately to remain calm.  Thinking too much can result into a full blown asthma attack)
• take milking bucket and return to house.
• when the front door is opened, milking bucket sat on the counter, i fall to the floor, setting my head upon the air conditioning vent and slowly breathe in the cool air. I do not attempt to move until breathing has become normal and all sweating has come to a halt.

I wait a half an hour and start again - i have to go collect the eggs now.

By the time i make it out to the garden again, there will be zucchini up to my elbows!  Don't come to my house and leave your car unlocked, - you may find zucchini when you get home. I'm just sayin' ...
