Degree

Well, yesterday turned out to be a glorious day. Not only was it Friday but also it was the day I earned a Lasko Mechanical Engineering degree. I could hardly believe it myself, but it’s true.
Due to the heightened heat temperatures recently and Amira’s warm-blooded body temperature I knew I had to do something in order to cool her down. It was even too hot for her to go out in her little pool we bought as the water was starting to boil (kidding).

Anyway, decided I needed to take action and fast. I went to the store and purchased two 18’ oscillating fans (without remote controls) to generate a wind tunnel affect in our home to cool things off.

Of course, nowadays nothing comes assembled, BUT with instructions in the finest font print and in 50 different languages. We could catch on fire before I could attempt to locate the English 2 pitch font on the instruction card, so tossed the instructions.

There is just something exhilarating about building something, constructing something, crafting something or making something, and then seeing the completed project.
As I was assembling the fans, Amira was cheering and coaching me along. “Momma, that looks nice. You’re doing a great job. Can I do it?” Finally finished the first fan, plugged it in and Amira squealed, “oooooooooh Momma it works---good job!” Truly what more could anyone ask for then their own fan club?

Finished the second fan, plugged it in and Amira was equally as thrilled, but as soon as the wind current took hold in the living room, Amira said, “Momma look my hair is crazy”. It was whipping everywhere, and we laughed.

Truly last night was the first night she slept good in sometime, presumably due to the house being cooler.

Now just trying to figure where to hang the Lasko Mechanical Engineering degree. :-D Hmmmm, any suggestions?
