our story so far

Rehearsals for the play are going fine. We sing for an hour, then we choreograph numbers for two more. I've started bringing the big portable fan from home to put a little breeze in the room. Whenever my dance partner and I aren't being actively rehearsed and instructed, we use the time to confer desperately so we can figure out what we're supposed to be doing. We prevail upon two or three of the quicker studies for help. A couple of days ago, the choreographer got everything we've done so far up on the web page, so I've been constructing the most perfect possible cheat sheet. Things are going great.
Sarah has her bunk bed now. The guy we bought it from trucked it over and helped hold the ends up while I slid the cross pieces in so Cathy wouldn't have to do it. Got the whole thing together, and she's sleeping in it now for the second night. She went with Cathy to get linens for it. I went to Target with her to get a chair for her to use with the desk underneath, and we'll get her a lamp pretty soon to replace the one I borrowed from the sun room.
So far, she has no homework from school. That starts in October. She does have homework for her Chinese class, which she already says she's tired of. It's hard for her teacher to keep the attention of the half dozen or so kids (ages 6-7) in her charge. After about ten minutes, they spend the rest of the hour squirming and crawling and goofing off to keep themselves awake.
I'm getting back in the habit of walking each day. I started off doing just over a mile, then expanded my path to slightly under a mile and a half. Today I tried a new route that turns out to be just over two miles and takes me out of the neighborhood. It was pretty hot in the middle of the day, but it might be tolerable in the evening.
Speaking of hot, I looked at the weather on my home page this morning, and it said it was 121 degrees here. I clicked the link to find out more, but it said it was in the 50s. I returned to the home page, and things had heated up to 123. Gosh darn Congress.
