Istijlál (Majesty), 9 Kamál (Perfection), 169 BE – Thursday,
August 9, 2012 about 1:50 PM Pacific Time
I carried two empty plastic juice bottles and two empty food
cans to the recyclable bins in the garage. I held the bottles and cans against
me with my left arm while I unlocked the security screen using my right hand.
As soon as I opened the door the heat sucked all the energy from my body, but I
pushed on because I could not leave empty food containers in the kitchen.
In the garage, I put the items into the blue recyclable bin
and then opened the driver’s side front door. I need to get some things out of
the car and begin cleaning the car out so I can take it to the carwash on
Monday. I cannot have it washed until I talk all the trash and stuff out of the
car. Since I do not deal well with the heat any more, it will take me all
weekend to get everything out of the car.
Leaning across the bucket seat, I unlocked the passenger
side door. After I walked around to the passenger side, I realized that the
backseat door was unlocked. I thought I locked that door last week, but
apparently, I did not. I am going to have to watch that because I do not like
driving around Las Vegas
with my car doors unlocked.
I removed a long, black wool winter coat from the backseat
floor. The coat has been in my car since December of 2011. It has been in my
possession since spring of 1998, at least I think that was when I bought it. I
have not worn it in at least ten years. It is too hot for this Las Vegas , even in winter
and the pockets and lining are torn. Anyway, after looking at it and realizing
that I was not going to fix it I decided to throw it away.
I threw the coat away, brought a sheet and a pair of socks
in the house. I also folded a winter blanket and laid it in the backseat. As
soon as I find the other two winter blankets, I will take them to the
laundromat. As soon as I recover from that trip to the garage, I will go out
again and see what else I can take out of the car. It is so hot that it is
going to take me all weekend to clean the car out. I just cannot handle the
heat well anymore.
