The heat has arrived here. We turned on the AC this morning, having had it on last night in bedrooms. We have window AC units and they're not very effective in the kitchen thanks to the apartment layout, and because the kitchen window is too far from an outlet to make a window unit a safe proposition, I can't put one there. I relay cooled air in with a big fan, and luckily I have an Instant Pot, which saved dinner all last summer, and hopefully will make life livable this summer too.
Dcat spent a little time this morning lounging in the three season porch off the kitchen, but came in and bit me. Hot weather makes her grumpy.
Went out this morning to try to get DD3's passport application processed at the main post office, only to find that you need an appointment. The PO lady asked if we'd like to set one up then and there, which seemed like a good idea, but her PO computer crashed while we were doing it, so she had to move to the next station and get the manager to set up her device and card scanner, close out her previous desk, and we all agreed that trying it online ourselves at home might be a better idea. On the way home we visited the local Farmer's market, a few blocks from home and bought some potted herbs - sage and English thyme, which looked exactly like the 'German thyme' I bought last year. I toyed with the idea of buying some fresh rhubarb but decided I wouldn't be able to cook it any time soon so gave it a pass.
