Heat Exhaustion

Well, this week has been 100 degrees. Sometimes even higher, I don't like it! We started FBA on Monday. Only a day and a half after i got back to Tennessee from St. Louis! So, I was already sleep-deprived and over worked. I am working in South America, specifically Ecuador.  I am making blow dart guns. Well, technically marsh mellow shooters. I have been heat exhausted all week, I have had above and beyond the amount of vitamin d I need in a week. NOT GOOD! Tomorrow is the last day, so that means tear down. Man, what am I going to do with my weeks now? It's going to be filled with summer enrichment work. I have to write a paper, read a book, complete a power point slide, and something else, that's all for only three subjects! I can't wait though, it's going to be a good year...I can feel it!

Yesterday and today, I have been working outside in the yard, cleaning it up a bit. I have many bugs bites and scrapes! My hands are so crampy and tired! Why am I complaining though? It's not nearly as hard as somethings people I know do! They stay out and work all day long and their yards look amazing! I'm so jealous! Not everything goes as planned though!

Friday, I think I have to babysit Nathan and Calvin. Not sure yet.

Saturday, I'm going to sleep in for the first time since before St. Louis!

Speaking of St. Louis, I rescued a bird in the front garden. He must have fallen out of the nest and gotten stuck in the underbrush. He was chirping and struggling! It was so sad! My friend, Sophie, named him Louis. He's a saint now(:

He's been hanging out around the same place I found him. Not sure if the mother abandoned him or not! I sure hope not!

That's all to report! Until next post!
