Indoor Jungle Gym

Well, the group is off to a strong start! Over 100 members and 30 messages in just a few days. Though the resources pages at the website have taken a lot of work, it's so thrilling to see it all come together.

The inside-the-house part of the air conditoner is leaking, and I have no idea why. I've set up a large bowl underneath it, and if I can't figure out the problem by tomorrow, I'll have to notify the landlords - something I hate doing. Because I'm a very private person, renting is not an enjoyable experience for me. I hate letting landlords poke around my place.... Yes, I know it's their place, too, but it just feels so invasive.

On a happier note, it finally did rain. Several days, in fact. After almost a month without a drop, it was so refreshing! Plants stopped drooping, people seemed more content, and the sound of thunder was just splendid! Hopefully, we'll get a bit more this week....

Kenzie has been using the stair-stepper as a jungle gym. This machine is monsterous - big and white and made up of lots of sturdy metal bars and a rounded platic area just big enough to stand on. Yes, it's ugly, but it's fun! He's been climbing all over it and jumping off, over and over, in as many ways as he can come up with. Because we bought it used for $20, and because this thing was built solidly and simply, I'm certainly not worried about it getting rickety. And Kenzie's having a blast!
