It’s hot even though it is almost midnight. Amanda is on call this weekend, so she is sleeping while she can. Hopefully she will not get called in for a delivery.

Today was the Kai’s last day in the “waddler” room at school (approximately 12-24 months). There had not been an opening in the next room until now. He selected a bunch of presents for his teachers yesterday, but ended up trying to give them to his soon-to-be-former classmates. It was a sweaty walk to school and back to retrieve him, especially since he did not want to walk himself.

The kitties do not like the hot weather and just lay about trying to keep cool. On the positive side of things, it is also too hot for them to fight.

The tomatoes are doing great with the heat wave and all. We are getting overrun by lettuce even though we are eating lots. We have also been eating a lot of peas, but I think I will pull them in another week. Our fennel is crowding out the brussel spouts; I have to do something about that. might have to harvest the potatoes very soon.
I bicycled to Mekong Rainier (a Vietnamese/SE Asian grocery) to get cheap groceries. OK, I could have walked but bicycling was more fun. Lots of people were buying huge quantities of fish… is there some fishy holiday this weekend that I don’t know about? Maybe it was just on sale.

I do not know what tomorrow holds. Amanda will have to go in to round at Swedish which will probably take all morning. I think I will go in with her and just walk about downtown with the Kai.
