Slugs
What has our Sunday been like? Lazy. We did manage to get out of the house for hair cuts and dog walking. The rest of the time has been spent in glorious slugdom with E on Facebook playing games and me entering comics into ComicBase while watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I also check in on my Facebook games from time to time.
Our heatwave seems to have broken. The morning was cool and overcast. The sun made an appearance around lunch time but it's still a manageable 71 F. All in all, it's been a wonderful weekend.

Home
Yesterday I made it back to Washington. I was darn tired when E picked me up. Mom's sofa bed isn't the most comfortable. Next time I visit I think I'll get lots of blankets and make a bed on the floor of the spare room. Sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room while my dad is up and getting ready for work is a little disconcerting.
I didn't get to do everything I wanted while in Oklahoma City. I missed seeing a few folks but our little trip to St. Louis kind of messed with things. If I do that again I'll make sure we fly into St. Louis first.
Cal got a nice present yesterday. While I was in an airplane, Mom took him to an ortho doc in Oklahoma City so they could make sure his wrist was doing fine. The Doc said it was time to come out of the cast Cal was in. That one went over the elbow and the new one ends just before the elbow. The best part about the new cast is it's waterproof. For an extra $40 (not covered by insurance) he now has a blue waterproof cast. Swimming in Oklahoma is back for Cal. I was very happy.

Wussy Vacation Update
The kids and I are back in Oklahoma City. We're quite happy to be out of the car. Not sure what we have planned for tomorrow. Nothing very exciting I hope. I'm ready to be a slug.

Vacation Update
The kids and I are enjoying the heat in St. Louis. We made it to my aunt & uncle's yesterday around 6:30 central time. I was never so glad to be out of a car. Doing an 8 hour car ride the day after arriving in Oklahoma probably wasn't the smartest idea. We were all cranky in the car but today the world looks better.
Today we've taken it easy and visited with relatives. Cal has had fun playing with his cousins. Duncan is holed up in my cousin's basement...it's dark and cool and there's wireless internet. He's perfectly happy.
Tomorrow we'll visit the Saint Louis Science Center. They suggested the Zoo first but I know my mom and aunt would die in the heat. Plus the kids and I don't get really excited about zoos. Science Museums are always a hit though.
I think we'll also go to the famous Arch. Maybe I can find E a nifty replica.

Lord of Chaos Update
Well, Cal is now the proud owner of a blue cast. Mike got Cal in to see the specialist early and an MRI wasn't necessary (thank goodness). The good news is he's in even less pain now that the arm is totally immobilized. The bad news is he won't be doing any swimming while he's in Oklahoma for a month. That's a major bummer. Swimming in the Oklahoma heat is one of the best things about summer.
The cast is removed the day after he returns from Oklahoma and maybe he'll be able to partake of the swimming portion of the summer camp he's going to attend for a week in August. It won't be the same as Oklahoma though.
Today I spent my time packing for our trip and keeping The Lord of Chaos comfortable. He still hasn't gotten his appetite back but I'm hoping it returns since he's not on the every six hour ibuprofen/tylenol regimen. He even took a nap today and that's totally unlike him. I should enjoy this while I can. When he gets his regular energy back I'm sure I'll get a few more gray hairs watching him do his daredevil stunts while sporting a big, blue cast.
