And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy birthday, Flea!
We just got back from biking down to the NY Aquarium and back - the oldest bike path in the country's oldest bike path (designated as such in 1894) is right outside our front door and goes all the way down to the boardwalk. Tomorrow morning we may do it again w/ our next door neighbors.

Happy birthdays!
I raked up my back postage stamp (have to do that time to time to keep the vines under control) and tried to saw at the bush, but as I suspected, don't have a good saw for that, and neighbor is out of town. So that was foiled. Will probably go out for a walk and a swim in a bit....oooh, I can sweep the porch!

Our wings are not tired.
I've potted some indoor plants. Did some maintenance on some others. Inside chores still result in me being covered with sweat. DH is painting the garage floor outside in the heat. I just can't even imagine working outside.
eta: I don't feel like too much of a wimp now. Checked and although it is only 89 the heat index is 105. The humidity is killing me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Inspired by sarameg, I went out for a walk. I didn't really have the right shoes on, though, so I didn't make it a Big Walk. Still, good times.
I just bought liquor (on a Sunday!), and now have a wider variety of beverages than I think I've ever had in my apartment when not planning for a party.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've been at work for 5 hours. 7 more hours to go. Yesterday was 15+ hours. I think I'll sleep tomorrow.

Porch hosed off and swept. I guess I can go for a walk now.

We went to the Long Beach Aquarium (shark touch tank! lots of things to see! Puffins which Noah calls muffins!) and then had fish tacos. Does that seem wrong to any of you?
