Happy birthday, David!
I just took a ridiculously long walk for no good reason, but topped it off with McDonald's, so I guess it's still a net negative, health-wise.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy Birthday, Hec!
Eeesh, Brenda! That's exciting news on the raise, but good grief! I'd back up everything on teh computer right quick, while you can...just in case...10% more travel sounds like "SEATTLE" to me, though. IJS.

Also, Yahoo mail is killing me right now.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Happy Birthday, Hec!
It's supposed to be hot today and is already warm. AB and I just got back from the farmers' market, where we got strawberries, basil, peppers, tomatoes, and Rainier cherries, and the library, where she got The Pigeon Wants a Puppy and I picked up a climate change book that will probably give me nightmares and the new Loretta Chase.

brenda, you are kinda living in parallel to me. I can manange all the shit that's going down, thank god, but it's been rather an expensive lot of it all at once. Or rather, since fucking January.
Took my parents down to Fells Point and they had a great time at the ...toy store. Ate at Mezze, and introduced them to tzatziki. Was good. Now they are napping after a morning/afternoon spent in the heat and humidity. THANK GOD.

On a day this hot, the only real option is to head to the playground and run around in the sprinklers!
That was our morning walk. The post-lunch-pre-nap hour was spent out back in the inflatable baby pool. Now we are upstairs with all the fans turned way way up.

Punishingly Intricate
Happy Birthday, Hec!
I went for a 20+ mile (roundtrip) bike ride on the B & A trail to downtown Annapolis where we got most delicious ice cream and then back. First time I'd been on my bike since my big bike ride. Wasn't too bad. The few hills sucked. Of course, the heat didn't help. but really i feel pretty good.
Then I came back here where my magic contractor friend was finishing up some things and he described the idea he had for reworking my second floor. Bastard. I won't be able to afford it for years.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Happy Birthday, David!

Just had a really annoying conversation with Discover - website wouldn't let me log in, so I called customer service to apply my cashback to the card balance. After he'd done that, the guy wanted to sell me some kind of cashback bonus dealie special for gas stations and I said oh, no thanks, I live in New York, don't have a car. And rather than move on to the next talking point in his "things you have to try to get customers to sign up for" list, he started grilling me about how dangerous it must be to live here! How there must be police everywhere (no) and how I probably carry mace in my bag (no), etc. I finally cut him off with "New York is the safest big city in the world, and I have errands to run. Goodbye." Nice customer service there, buddy!
