It's been swelteringly hot here, like in other parts of the country. We've had an Excessive Heat Warning since Monday morning and it goes through at least Sunday evening. Our actual temperatures have been close to 100, if not over, with heat indices (how it feels outside from the combination of air temperature and humidity) over 110 degrees. So if you can manage to handle the heat, you still need gills to breathe.
Given the temperature we haven't left the house for any fun activities - nor did I take many pictures. There were scheduled therapies, Amber's flute lesson, Project Write, haircuts, and annual vet appointments for all three cats. I appear to have pushed my luck in the heat too, since sensor in my car seems to have freaked out when the poor car was parked in the sun for 3 hours. Now I have an appointment next week at the Volvo dealership to decide if there is a problem or not.
I have the post detailing Amber's 9th grade curriculum written and ready to go for Monday. If you're interested to see how we've decided to structure the first year of high school, come back on Monday to check it out.
For summer school this week, Amber has continued to push through physical science in hopes of completing it within the first week (fingers crossed) of 9th grade. There has also been plenty of fun reading, flute practice, and working on her Project Write "stuff". Amber has been fairly puny after any period outside, so her productive time has occured before any appointments each day. After leaving the cool house, she's been sickly. I don't doubt it though, because I've felt pretty crummy after being out in the heat for just a few minutes too.
This weekend we are deep-ish cleaning the house... I'm cleaning carpets and Amber is doing her deep dusting job. We want a nice fresh, tidy start to the new school year and we can't do anything outside anyway.
ONE week until High School officially starts! (super meep!)
Happy Oppressively Hot Weekend!

Wow! I thought it was almost unbearable around here. We have been in the low 90's all week. I hope you all have a nice last week to summer and don't get cabin fever.

I cannot imagine living with that kind of heat and humidity and not being able to go outside in the summer! It rarely gets like that here. I hope your heat wave is over by Sunday!
