The humidity is cloying right now, and already it’s 74 degrees. I am hunkered down, mentally geared for another 100+ degree day cooped up in this non-air conditioned house with the windows and drapes closed to retain last night’s cool air. It reminds me of the northern winters I grew up in. <\/p>\n
Oh, we will go out to the park in the morning, briefly, and a friend invited us to enjoy her air-conditioning yesterday. We have a repeat invitation for that today. Of course, this requires driving on an ozone action day, which contributes to more pollution — ozone, smog, carbon dioxide, and smoke from fires. <\/p>\n
And sweet Bean is more active than ever! Though her naps have been less deep the last few days, probably due to heat. So she gets fretful as well.<\/p>\n
So, I’m not much in the mood to write. If you’ve written me an email recently (within the last couple weeks), I haven’t replied because I had company, and now I have little time when Bean is awake, and it’s just damn hot and I’m tired. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love you. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
