103

That was this weeks high point. This has been a really rough week for everyone involved, but especially Little Bug.

See, we will in WASHINGTON. We are not equipped for this as most homes and some businesses don't have air conditioning. Ours would be one of those homes.

Little Bug didn't notice the heat. We are pretty sure based that he can't really modulate temperature. For example, on his birthday, he sat and played in a bucket of ice. While that seems normal, he played with it until his fingers barely moved. It didn't bother him. In fact, he was more upset about not being allowed to play in the ice than anything else.

What Little Bug has noticed this week is a complete change in his routine. Nick is on vacation. He isn't allowed to play outside in the afternoons- way too hot. He is being nagged, reminded, prompted, and prodded into drinking water. None of the food he normally eats is being served- too hot to cook. He isn't allowed to wear anything he wants.

For the most part, he did well until yesterday. He hit his breaking point. He is tired. He is covered in heat rash. He wants to play outside. He doesn't like the food. He is sick and tired of being yelled at for trying to climb out our windows. (Side Note- I mean that literally. We don't normally open the windows as he will push the screen out and try to get out. With it being over 100, we had to suck it up and do it. He has made several escape attempts.)

Fortunately for him, we are going to Hama and Bumpa's. There won't be yelling because with the marine fog, the low will be in the 50s and the high will be in the 70s. He will get to see two of his *favorite* people in the whole wide world and his second favorite dog.
