Busy Hands

Strange things are happening around my house, and I’m starting to wonder what is going on. Mandy has been working more than normal doing odd jobs around the house. Yesterday she went outside and used this awful sounding machine to hack away at the bushes. She sent bugs, sticks and leaves flying into the air and they swirled all around her. When she came in, she smelled of the outdoors and she was covered in dirt. I’m unsure what Sam and Mandy have been doing outside, but they’ve been spending a lot of time out there. When Sam came home, they spent more time out there! It’s so hot out there! I wouldn’t want to be out there, and they are spending hours out there.

Red Lightening Bug is getting sick—that’s the only explanation. He is getting so small, and sometimes he flickers in and out. Mandy says not to worry about Bug, but I am concerned. I am trying to be gentle when we play. It's more fun to play when he's large and bright.

Well, I am going to go sit in my window for a while before the sun heats it up.
