This is your brain on 100 degree heat.
Too hot to post anything coherent....
I have fragments of posts draped limply about my brain but can't dredge up the will to marshal them into something worth reading. I'll share a few fragments to tide you over:
-The counter replacement is done and looks fantastic (pictures tomorrow, hopefully) but the house is trashed as a result. I'm exhausted from all the prep work but LOOOOOOVE the new counter. Home improvements are like a drug!
-My thoughts about TTC ricochet from despair (this cycle must be another bust; what if my uterus is now some kind of toxic environment) to insanity (IVF has higher success rates, maybe I should try that) to foolishly hopeful (was that nausea?). Thankfully there's quite a bit going on in the rest of my life to provide some distraction.
-Why is it that I always end up mowing the lawn on the heat advisory days?! No pollution worries - push mower or electric - but man, the sweating must count as some sort of environmental hazard!
-I just read Life of Pi (Wow! amazing book! I can't wrap my head around all of it but it was superb) and am moving on to HP6. The contrast amuses me. No HP spoiler worries here - I can't STAND finding out about a book or a movie before I experience it on my own terms!
-Cait and I are going on a long overdue vacation (actually, a series of short trips with one long trip in the middle) starting Friday. HALLELUJAH!
-On Monday I was "playing mom" and took GiggleGirl to her swimming lesson and then dropped her off at daycare. Although it's not unusual for us to have kids around (hardly a day goes by without one or more children spending some time in our house) I loved the ordinariness of this - taking her to the pool, hanging out with the moms on the side, dressing her and doing her hair before school. THIS is what I want - the beauty of the mundane.
Right now my kitchen is beautiful but nothing in my life can be called mundane, so I think I'll head to bed with HP and try to forget about the TWW, the mountain of crap in the rest of my house, and the blasted heat.

I, too, loved Life of Pi, and try to get everyone I know to read it.
