Today's prompt is " What was the last movie you rented?" It's been so long since I have rented a movie, I don't know what the last movie I rented was.
It is 2:25 am here now. Yesterday was another high heat index day. I was going to stay in the house all day, but plans changed when Caleb decided to take Bella for a "short" walk while I was napping. He woke me up to tell me his plans, but I was not awake enough to think it through. I did not know what time it was. It happened to be around 3:00pm, when the heat index was supposed to be the highest. It hit me a few minutes after Caleb left with Bella.
Bella had been gassy, so we knew she had to poop. Caleb had let her outside and she did not do her business for some reason. Caleb told me he was just going to walk her enough to poop and bring her back. Well, Caleb ended up taking her to the park, which was a lot further than I had expected.
I quickly realized the mistake in letting them go outside, and text Caleb to not let Bella walk on the road or she would burn her paws. He responded ok. I gave them a little time, enough to poop, and text Caleb to come back home. He responded Ok. He was taking too long to come home, and something made me jump out of bed and go get them both. I knew it was just too hot outside for both of them. I drove down the street and did not see them, so I continued to the Veterans' Park. There they were. Poor Bella was panting so hard. I picked them up and told Caleb to take Bella inside and show her the water bowl. It was too hot outside for me too. I wanted ice cream to cool my insides.
We left Bella at home in the air conditioning to cool off and relax, and I took Caleb to Publix for the first time. It was smaller than I imagined it would be for a new store. He found some large Gatorade bottles , buy one get one free. I found our favorite ice creams. We quickly came back home and chugged our Gatorades, and ate some ice cream in the air conditioning. I was feeling much better.
Yesterday morning Caleb went for a walk, and while he was away I began to clean the kitchen. It was well overdue. The house was cool and I was ready to get started. I got a good amount done before my therapy appointment online.
When my therapy appointment was over, and after I chatted with Nichole for awhile, it was lunch time. I made us grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. It seems like it's been forever since we've had bread in the house. Caleb enjoyed it, but we both agreed they are better on the grill/griddle we use to have.
After lunch is when I decided I needed a nap. I did not sleep well the night before. I am always sleepy after a meal anyway.
Later today Caleb has his occupational therapy appointment. His therapist text me to make sure we were still coming. I responded that yes we were coming, but I needed to wait inside as I have been having heat related health problems. She said she would need to discuss it with someone named Susan, but it should be ok. I don't know why they expect parents to wait in their cars for an hour during this heat wave. I can't do it. I won't do it. I'm a high risk for heat stroke.
Tomorrow I have a dental appointment, and Caleb is not allowed in the waiting room. I am going to be discussing that with them as well. If I cannot stay in the car for hour, I will not have my son do it.
In any case, I worked more on the kitchen before and while cooking. I got the dishwasher loaded and started and filled the dish strainer. I still have some dishes soaking, but I made good progress for a hot day. Today I will try to get some laundry done. I need to catch up. I also will try to go through Caleb's books and put them in order.
Yeah, I was just too warm to stay asleep. I am use to having the weighted blanket over me, but now I am using the weighted blanket as a sheet because it does not move as much as the sheet does. The sheet won't stay on the bed! So I am using one of Caleb's minion comforters to cover with, and it's too warm for me. Then Bella likes to sleep right beside me and she produces heat too.
I got my photo prints today! I looked through them, and can't decide what to do with them yet! I want to keep all of them, but that is not the reason I bought so many! LOL Oh my! I just love them.
Caleb must have heard the silence, because when I walked in the living room the tv was on sleep mode. A few minutes after I started typing, he woke up to turn Sponge Bob back on LOL.
Caleb had been wanting more of my direct attention the last few days. He wants me to play, which I don't always have the energy to do. He likes to race his Hot Wheels. I woke up yesterday morning after having slept on one of them. That's the mark of a mother. That and stepping on Legos in the middle of the night.
I decided to purchase an Adventure Academy annual subscription. It was more than 60% off, and I have wanted to find something that would help make homeschooling fun. Caleb can play on my computer or on his phone. It helps teach math, language, social studies, and science. I've heard great things about the program. I'm hopeful that it will help Caleb catch up.
I think my heat rash is healing. It is not so itchy any more. Caleb helped me out the day before yesterday, and gave me a good back scratch.
I watered my succulent plant, my air plant, Caleb's bamboo, and the house plant I received from Sarah a couple years ago. The last one needs love. I often forget to water it. I never remember to take it outside. I will have to do that later today.
I have to register with the state as a homeschool. I have not come up with a name yet, so I might just settle on "de Mello School." It's the default choice that the state would name my homeschool.
Bella is such a good girl. I could not have asked for a better dog. She loves to be with me. I love that. I had a dog once, a shih tzu, and he was nuts. He did not like to cuddle or be held. He did his own thing most of the time. Bella follows me and watches me. I talk to her and sing to her. I rub her belly lots. She is very loved. I think she really likes to be on the bed too. She did not follow me this morning. She stayed on the bed! LOL
Caleb is growing so fast. He caught a "blind" bird yesterday and wanted to help it. I told him he shouldn't go around touching wild animals as they carry diseases. He was a little upset that he couldn't help the poor thing.
Caleb just woke up and Bella just came out of the bedroom.
I wonder what size generator I would need for my house. I am going to look into that. That would be the next step in hurricane preparation. Being without electricity during the heat is not survivable for long.
Bella is laying on the floor close to me. She is so sweet. Caleb went back to sleep. I am wide awake. I don't know what I will do next. We seemed to have lost a loaf of bread somewhere. I bet it is still in the car.
