We’re absolutely heat wimps, I admit. 90-degree heat is much, much harder for us to bear than 30-degree cold.
JediBoy and I spent the day lounging about the house, sitting in front of fans, watching American Inventor online and Planet Earth on DVD. He asked to play with some math manipulatives (MUS blocks) and we gave each other puzzles for a while. He looked through his bag of 14 library books (all about knights, of course) while I finished rereading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and picked up Prisoner of Azkaban. (I’m rereading the first six volumes before the release of number seven.) I wrapped birthday presents for T and M while JediBoy wrapped a present for me - took one of his plastic watches, folded it inside a sheet of writing paper, taped all along every edge with carefully cut sections of masking tape, and decorated the outside with stickers. We went out to dinner with T and M, R and J, and J, and as we waited for our food, JediBoy complained that his throat hurt. Maybe his body is still struggling with the viral or bacterial conjunctivitis and associated ills. Sigh.
Tomorrow we leave for Camp, The Lake, which usually cures all ills.
