Another day in the life....

I didn't have plans for the day. Emily's first Monday of summer vacation started out painfully with a wire on her braces that had shifted into her gums. We were able to get an appointment at the orthodontist's office close to her Dad's house. Instead of his picking her up tonight to spend the night, I brought her over in the morning and he took her to the appointment. Now I had the day alone, and I was actually lonely. I got many loads of laundry done, but the house was really too hot to stick around. It was too hot to go to the pool. I checked out the movie listings, saw that Knocked Up was playing in 25 minutes, and off I went. A lot of people must have had the same idea because the theatres were crowded. It was refreshingly cool in there, and the movie was crude, but extremely funny. I came home to my quiet and too warm house, put away laundry and made the beds, and knew I had to jump in the pool. Decadent, huh? It's great having a pool in the neighborhood that's just a couple of minutes away. I only stayed for an hour, but it was nice. I came home and grilled some chicken for dinner, watered the plants, and here I am. It's been a really long day, and a long 'weekend.' I wish I could go into my cool room now, and just read for a while, but the upstairs in this house is never, ever cool. I'll go up with my heavy duty fan and fall asleep to the warm breeze. Summer is here. Tomorrow promises to be another scorcher. Can you tell this heat is getting to me?
