The Sweating Season

90 degrees today with dewpoints in the lower 60's. Yuck. This Atlanta-type weather I can do without. This year I actually planned ahead and installed the air conditioners before it got too hot. The house was relatively comfortable today when I got home.

I ended up going to both jobs today. I had to run payroll for Jon and Doug and then it was back down to Used Bike World Domination Headquarters to help with the mess down there. Jamie the owner is out of town for two weeks working as a mechanic on RAGBRAI (the ride across Iowa) and then on the Habitat for Humanity 500 mile ride. While he is gone his employees are conspiring to create some order out of the chaos that is Sunrise Cyclery. I sure hope we make some progress.

We're finally a complete family again. KyKy was at her cousin's cabin for 4 days so we had to plod along without her.

TOYH is stressing out a bit about work and stuff. She's been helping out with Gabe's mom's stuff while she's gone in Costa Rica. This helpfulness has been cutting into the paperwork time at her real job. I must say, though, I'm proud of her right now. Normally she overdoes it on the helpfulness front in situations like this and ends up a wreck because she doesn't have enough time in the day for work and helping. This time she's let others carry some of the burden. Now she's only mildly freaked out about how much stuff has to be done. That's real progress.

It looks like Gabe is coming home tomorrow. He's doing well, recovering more sensation and his reflexes are getting stronger. He's got a long road ahead though.
