The Heat Is On!
It's about 11 am and 91 degrees already. It will be up to at least 104 by the end of the day. The sun seems much closer here than in Boerne (desert, duh!), but the thing about it being a dry heat and being more comfortable because of such--how true! I can walk to the gym and back and not feel as hot and sticky as when I was in South Texas, even though it's much hotter. I'm a little apprehensive about later on, when it will get up to the 120s, but the locals tell me that as long as one stays inside during the worst part of the day and drinks lots of fluids, it's bearable.
We went swimming yesterday--in Vegas, it's no big deal to have a pool--almost everyone does, and I can clearly see why.
Elbie and Nothing are doing fine. They have lost their extra "fat cat" weight! Elbie still doesn't come in the house (or even near the door), but he will let me pet him while he eats. We never see Elbie during the day, only in the early morning and evening. At night, he camps out on our bedroom windowsill. Nothing, on the other hand, has made himself completely at home here. He has his own daytime sleeping spot on a shelf in the laundry room, and lets Henry the Dog a little closer each time they happen to be in the same place. Henry still hasn't gotten the satisfaction of really sniffing Nothing, but he's persistent and will likely not give up any time soon.
I'm still job hunting. I have an interview in June for a library job, but I am also looking into other opportunities just in case.
Sonny passed his first semester of US Govt. with a B, and he's working on the second semester now. We're proud of him.
We've been attending Life Baptist Church. We meet at a middle school now, but used to meet in a casino. LBC is an offshoot of some sort of the Southern Baptist Convention. It's a lot different than what I've been used to at my church in San Antonio, St. Marks United Methodist Church, but I do like it very much. I'm learning a lot and I like the people and the atmosphere. I hope to get more involved musically at LBC.
