Comments for Long Weekend
Long Weekend: 09/03/07
Over the Labor Day weekend, we traveled down to South Pasadena for a birthday extravaganza. We celebrated four birthdays with one cake: Sean, Harriet, Judy and me. The main focus of course was one Sean and Harriet so they each had a candle on the cake.
I had planned to blog while down there but southern California is suffering through a heatwave made worse by humidity kicked up by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Henriette near La Paz. It was too hot do blog with a hot laptop on my lap. It was too hot to think!
I also had to keep extra watch on Harriet who doesn't handle the heat well. When we weren't in the pool, we were giving her numerous luke warm baths and many extra bottles to drink. Even with all the extra cooling down options, she was bright red and sweaty and even vomited from the heat.
In the entire time we were there, it never cooled down — even at night. Sleep was nearly impossible. I think for the two nights we were there I managed 3 or 4 hours of sleep.
So now that I'm home where it is still hot but at least vaguely comfortable and in the process of cooling down, I will catch up on all the blogging I was hoping to do over the weekend.
