still hot

Okay, people, it's 32C, which is 90 F. It's six pm. This is GERMANY. There is no AC. If you're pregnant, it's like it's 110. So much for all my great intentions to get stuff done today. It is very hard to revise the delicate interworkings of uncertain teen love triangles when you feel like passing out.

I did clear out a bunch of stuff from a closet. It involved dealing with all the stuff that was in there for mending, which meant that my daughter whose heel hurts too much to walk on remembered I'd promised to teach her to sew a doll out of an old sock. So, two hours later, my closet is just as full, only now slightly rearranged, and I just noticed I never hemmed the other leg I trimmed today of the pants I'm wearing. But we did finish the doll together:

Cute doll--that's really creative and fun. Hmmm.... from personal experience, no AC is not fun. No AC hasn't been much of a big deal so far for us this summer--it's only gotten truly hot for a day or two. *sending more dealing with heat luck your way...*

Thanks--although it can get hot there, too. But the dryness helps. I remember one summer I'd go running every day and come home to find out the high had been 107, only I hadn't noticed.

We do have very thick concrete walls, which help hold the cool air a lot better than matchstick American walls. Still. It's hot!
