the temperature jumped to above 80s in the last couple of days. alas, humid summer is here combined with unpredictable noon showers.
i read that the best temperature for rabbit is between 60-70, above 80 would be a danger to its health. I became worried for styx's well-being, so i decided to give him a shower in my sink. that should cool him off, though he doesn't like it. i dried him off, and immediately he started licking himself, as if i just gave him a mud bath.
all my windows were open, but i felt all this had accomplished was to attract heat from outside. I turned on the A/C, all it did was maintain the temperature steady at 80. recently, I discovered that cereal is a healthy and balanced meal. i didn't feel like cooking or eating leftovers, especially on this hot summer's day. I poured some milk mixed with three brands of cereal added a few sliced fresh strawberries, and that was delicious. my mom worries that I am not getting enough nutrition, but she couldn't be more wrong. my high school health science teacher once ased us what a person should bring to the dessert out of water, meat and milk if he can only choose one. I answered water, that was stupid. it should be milk, protein and liquid that is.
on a day such as this, i lose my concentration as my mind drifts miles away. I see a hot summer day, on a green green lawn, styx and I dancing and prancing to the sprinkler without a care in the world.
