Ninety Degrees In April? O_O

Ugh...I had an entire post typed out a few hours ago and LJ died when I was in the middle of saving it.

It was incredibly hot today. It always surprises everyone in New England when we get these days of intense heat in early spring, but it happens almost every year. I personally hate hot weather. Unfortunately, as we learned last year, a pleasantly cool spring and summer means DOOM for all things green. Moldy tomatoes, herbs that never grow past sprout stage, the works. I should know better than to wish for that kind of weather. Just the same, it's tough when you see the high temperatures reduce your bouncy long-haired cat to a lethargic pile on the floor. =_=

He felt much better when we turned the AC on.

We finally got our stove fixed. Considering how much the electronic oven control cost to replace, I was expecting the repairman to come in carrying a gigantic panel, not a silver box the size of a VHS tape. o_o Twenty minutes and 400 dollars later, our broiler was working again! Kristen and I are going to celebrate by baking a cherry cobbler with the jarred Morello cherries we got from Trader Joe's.
