I have made it mostly through the summer semester. I have one more project to finish on Thursday. I never really did get motivated. I am starting an exercise challenge at the gym on Friday. I have a schedule all made out. All I have to do is follow it.
All but one of my patients at work on Friday were probably there because of complications of dehydration due to the extreme heat. One guy, not my patient, was 39 and worked so hard he had a little heart attack. It will be interesting to see who is there tomorrow.
Mike has watered the plants twice a day for the whole summer. They are doing really good considering. Some of them are beginning to look a little stressed. There are whole, big trees with yellow, dead leaves. Not in our yard thankfully.
Zach has a new dance he does when he is really excited about something like toast, or the pool. He gets his little rear moving and goes back and forth on his feet and waves his hands while turning in random circles. Miss Nicky said he was hilarious when they were dancing in his class the other day because he was really shaking his booty.
More than half of the continental United States was in moderate to extreme drought in June -- including corn- and soybean-producing states -- damaging crops and impacting prices at the grocery store.
Some say if the hot, dry weather continues, this year's drought could rival the "dust bowl" years of the 1930s:
Mike and I went to the Brandi Carlile concert Friday night, got a babysitter and everything. It was fabulous. Zach's diarrhea persisted throughout the week, but he never acted sick. It has sort of resolved. Today he had All Bran for breakfast and told me he had a All Bran poop later. He is getting back to normal.
On the way to Kidz Kabana this morning-
Zach- Mommie, is that a baby animal in your hair?
Turns out I had grabbed one of his baby animal rubber bands for my hair. For a while I thought I had a bird nest in my hair.
