Hot. Hot.

It's about 92 degrees at the moment, which is most unusual for April, I have to say. What's not particularly surprising is that the central A/C in the house worked for about an hour yesterday and then died. It's producing cold, but it's not blowing through the vents. We have fans running everywhere and let me tell you, it's damn hot. So I know who my first call is to tomorrow morning.

This past week, on Tuesday, all the school districts in New Jersey voted on the school budgets. I understand that this is unique to New Jersey; every spring, our Boards of Education present their4 budgets to the public and the public votes yea or nay. Shockingly, about 75% of the the districts in my county passed; everybody expected budgets to go down this year, as they do from time to time even in good economies. The upshot in my house is that many districts posted openings for social studies teacherws in today's paper, so K has spent the day writing cover letters, assembling packets, emailing or applying online every place she can. Sadly for me, this makes her cranky, and the heat doesn't help.

Disney plans are underway. The Sibs and I have decided on the restaurants we need to make reservations for, and I'll call those tomorrow.

As of today, I'm officially giving up bringing my lunch to school. If I happen to have leftovers one day, or the mood strikes, I will, but I'm not counting on it. I'm not even taking my clothes out tonight; I'll decide what to wear in the morning. It;s like I've got senioritis.

Well then, my tasks for the day are done, except to get the laundry out of the dryer. But I think I'll shut down the computer for a bit and let it cool off.
