…the heat from inside was more than oppressive. It must have been 130 degrees inside.
I'm certainly not accustomed to the heat, but still finding SC enjoyable (not that I am able to really see the outdoors very much–save for walking the three blocks back and forth to campus).
Yesterday there was no air conditioning in the library. It was funny sitting there working with sweat dripping off my forehead. Really! It was funny. I started laughing at how spoiled I am.
When I come back to the apartment, Karsten updates me on what kind of birds he saw that day out the big sliding door. Haddon tells me that he's going to eat all the grapes, and I can't have any. Lincoln just smiles; smiling is his hobby and he is always practicing his hobby.
Right now I am sitting on the couch settling down from the busyness of the day…in a holding pattern waiting to land in bed. Lincoln is asleep on the couch next to me. He decided in his dream to prop his little, bare feet up on my arm. I can't make myself remove them.
An administrative principle that hit me upside the head today was a reference to how Jesus dwelt among them (the people to whom he was ministering). I'm very comfortable in my office, and need to get out more and see the needs of staff and students and learn to address them better. But I better stop there. The more I put in print, the more I hold myself accountable to. =)
Tomorrow things get gritty as I have to start prepping for a 25 minutes presentation I'm doing on Friday. Next week is a 50 minute presentation. Ergh.
