Firstly, I’m continually shocked by all the crazy poses Jei manages to fall asleep in. Pretty sure only he can fall asleep in some of them. Obviously this one isn’t so crazy, but this morning I saw him sleeping on the floor with his arm straight in the air. No lie. As if he was in zero gravity or something. He’s taken to sleeping in his swimming shorts. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him swim in them. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him swim. (It happens to be one of my favorite things ever.) He tells me it’s going to stay that way.


It was so grotesquely hot today I almost couldn’t stand it. It doesn’t help that in the summer the entire upstairs becomes a sauna. So basically if you’re upstairs you’re swimming in sweat all day. And just as I was thinking it might actually be summer, guess what I heard coming down the street?

The ice cream truck.

Kat came running in a few minutes later and we giggled about it. I remember when we first came to the States and we heard the ice cream truck we chased it down for two blocks because we’d never had one before. It was just like in the movies. Simple pleasures, I tell you.

Oh, I pulled my left calf muscle.
It huuuurrrts.
