Oh the Humidity!

It's not as bad as I was expecting. When my husband told me on Monday that it was supposed to be 43 degrees today I was was worried. I actually thought I would be ill. I'm prone to heat rash and sunscreen often makes it worse. But we survived. Thank goodness for the little $120 Air Conditioner we bought on the weekend.

We spent the morning at a "Halte-Répit" (Respite Stop).  It's like a drop-in preschool. My son was o with me leaving him for an hour just so I could run a couple of errands, and he said he wanted to go again next week...lucky me! It runs 2 mornings a week from 8:45-12:00, and one afternoon.  I pay $2.50/session. There is also a full day program once a month.  I can use it 2 1/2 days or one full day per week. This is a privilege of becoming a member of our local community centre, which cost a measly $15 for a year for all 3 of us.

We came home for some lunch and laid on the sticky leather couch for an hour watching Kid's CBC's "Chirp", and then decided to hit up the pool for some refreshment. All the public pools are free in Montreal. I'm guessing that's the same for the rest of Quebec. It doesn't matter if it's indoors our outdoors...it's free.

I'm starting to see where those tax dollars go, and it suits me.

All free.
