Well, Ammon is still in the ranks of the unemployed. He has filled out countless applications, pasted his resume over and over again, and still hasn't had a single interested contact. He vows that if he doesn't get something solid soon he's going to take a job trucking, but I'm really hoping it doesn't come down to that. Trucking is a hard profession, and even though it pays fairly well I'm not sure that the benefits outweigh the cost. The kids and I don't operate well when Ammon isn't around to make us all laugh, so even though that makes us really wimpy, I'm hoping that he finds a job soon so he doesn't have to go on the road for long stretches of time.
Other than that, things are going well today. It appears as though we will be taking it easy on the yardwork this week because there is a heat advisory in effect until at least tomorrow morning. As I was reading the newspaper this morning over breakfast, I warned Ammon that the yardwork he was planning on today should perhaps wait, but he scoffed at the heat advisory, and said he wasn't silly enough to go out and get dehydrated and overheated. Fast forward to an hour later--Ammon comes into the house, simply dripping in sweat and weak from exhaustion. It's not simply that it is hot outside today, the humidity is very high and makes the temperature 'feel' over 100 degrees. Not exactly optimal for exertion out of doors. Anyway, maybe later we'll try and take the kids back to the outdoor water park, and this time we'll ALL get in to help relieve the discomfort.
