today felicity is one month old...and maybe we are slowly starting to figure life out.  it has been a really bizarre week here.  on tuesday i got back from my morning walk and started getting the chills.  when i took my temperature shortly there after i was running a low grade fever and a couple hours after that said fever had spiked to 102.6.  i talked to a nurse at the midwives' office and she thought i was heading towards heat stroke.  so i spent the day in bed with ice packs drinking lots of fluids and hoping that my headache would go away.  sure enough, my temperature went down and the headache did abate later that day.  i admit i never saw any sort of heat illness following a walk coming after all of the exercise i have done in heat in past years.  it is better to always be on guard!

in some ways, it was a great time to be recovering because the last few days have been very rainy and full of thunderstorms.  yesterday a break sort of occurred and i got to take in a little bit of artscape.  artscape happens just a few blocks north of where we live and as i walked around all of the closed streets, i found myself very grateful that i did not have to go anywhere north in a car this weekend.  i look forward to being able to take in a bit more of the festival next year too (and hopefully there is better weather for it given that its all outside!).
