Everything is sticky. The world outside still contains dampness from the Sunday rainfest and the humidity is 96% now. It’s mildly uncomfortable but I am grateful we’ve not received flooding as so many in Indiana and Illinois have. I feel so sorry for several family and friends who are experiencing high water levels.

Erma seems perkier this morning. I spent a lot of time hugging on her and reassuring her throughout Monday and when the students began arriving I saw her rise to the occasion as our resident ambassador.

I have a stroll through the park before returning to teach from 4:00 PM until 11:00 PM. Then, it is several days of research, maybe some writing, and two trips to The Neon to see MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS. I am looking forward to that adventure.

It’s muggy and not feeling pleasant. Make it a great day, anyway!
