110

Solarium temp went up to 110 today. Low recorded last night was 46 but it was a fairly warm night. 

I went ahead and ordered the duct fan. Get the ducting next weekend. Want to get things in place so I can stop using the space heater for the plants. Silly to have a structure meant to save energy then use energy to heat that space. Actually, probably better to just get the ducting tomorrow evening and install it this week. Then the fan can just be installed when it gets here and take only minutes. Know I won't feel like any heavy work next weekend.

Daughter and I directed traffic for the air dance studio tonight. Rather slow performance this time around. I heard there's another, larger show on elsewhere which could be drawing attendees away. I've mentioned before that they need to be aware of other events going on before scheduling performances but I don't think the message got through. Their shows get good reviews but can't compete with national or international performance troupes. Good thing is that these performers aren't trying to make any real income for these shows. 

Daughter has been reading a lot. Picking up on fantasy novels. Funny, I started reading fantasy and sci-fi at about the same age. 

She's also consciously teaching herself to be able to read and walk at the same time. Interesting. I did the same thing, even going as far as skating while reading. The greatest benefits to that are that it expands awareness of the peripheral vision and conscious awareness of ones surroundings.

On the other hand, she has been reading a fantasy novel and watching TV tonight. Then at time for bed she wanted to work more on her homework. I told her no and explained why. She has come out several times telling me she's worried about it and it won't take long. I responded that that means it won't take long in the morning either. If she wants to work on it she should set the other book aside, turn off the TV and work on her school work. 

While I try to be nice there are times she tests me and I have to stand firm. I could let her stay up and work on it but I want her to learn responsibility. Not to mention respect for what I tell her and to not try to manipulate me. 

So, only a few more days until I get dentures. Warned daughter that next weekend I may look like I was in a street brawl. I don't usually experience a lot of swelling but with 9 teeth to pull and a thin face it will definitely show.
