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:

Oh, isn't she precious! :) Glad to see you got the important stuff out of the way first, and now you can go do the other cleaning stuff--or just go make a sister for Sockalina :)

How cute.
I'd send you our cool weather if I could.

The "visit" went well. We got photos. She is very personable and an excellent speaker.

Good luck on sorting through stuff. I have more to sort, and don't have that long until packers arrive.

We have to pack our suitcases this weekend. We pack our suitcases--all we are taking with us for two reasons: one, make sure everything we want to take fits and two, so the packers don't pack what we NEED. Um, yes, there is a story here.

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...*

Cute doll. And you have my sympathies on the heat.

Very cute!

Here's hoping it's not a humid 90 degrees...

That's why I think you are so cool. You are totally suffering, and you still take the time to make a doll with your daughter.
