Fly Time

Yall... summer has come.  It has already gotten hot enough that each night Justin and I have to try to figure out what type of troubled sleep we want to experience.  The choices are 1) window open- noisy horn blasting in the middle of the night, call to prayer, the police man who lives in the building next to us blipping his siren to say hello to his wife every time he passes by all through the night; or 2) window closed- squeaky fan, hot sweaty night.  Fun times!

At least it's not take a cold shower, jump in bed with wet hair, window open, and fan going while praying you fall asleep fast and the heat puts you into a deep comatose type sleep.  Those days are coming!  Yay!

In other news, summer has brought two things.  One completely expected- my summer uniform of long skirt, sandals, and thin button down shirts with a tank top underneath.  Yep, that's the coolest option I've got- especially considering that super sweating and thin cotton or linen pants tend to create embarrassing displays.  Skirts are a discreet friend for us sweaty girls!  Enough said!

The thing that has come as a surprise to us this year are the FLIES!!  Yall, we live 7 stories up!  Where on earth are these flies coming from?!  It's too hot to leave the windows closed.  And, when we open them up, within 10 minutes a swarm of flies is circling around the center of the room.  (I googled why they circle the center of the room.  You can, too, if you're curious!)

For real, this  morning I opened the window.  Then I went into the kitchen to get my coffee and eggs.  By the time I came back to sit down with the Word, this had happened!!

Since they were buzzing around my camera phone couldn't really capture them.  So I circled a few, just a few, mind you, of the many!  Do you know how irritated and slightly dirty it makes you feel to be hanging out with a swarm of flies?!  YUCK!!

Fly away, flies!!
