Thanks for the heads up, Nora. It doesn't feel all that bad yet, but the heat index is predicted to be almost 20 degrees above the actual high temp today. I'll make extra sure to stay hydrated.
Ugh, today is just not going terrifically. Makes me cranky. I feel so slow and stupid. I know beating myself up doesn't help, but boy am I frustrated. I don't feel like I have a benchmark to compare myself against, and so I don't even know where I'm being too hard on myself and where I'm going too easy. Boss is coming by to help me with something.
brenda, how was Lucero? Awesome, right?
smonster, be careful in the Bateman house. You just never know.
ma to Will's niece and her baby.
amyth, I'm keeping a weather eye and my box cutter is always to hand. How goes it? Are you in full-on move-in madness yet?
Feeling a little better about myself as far as work is concerned. Finances is another thing, but oh well.
I wish picking people to vote for wasn't such a depressing exercise. For a superior court judge position, we have the wife of a former sheriff who is in prison for his part in a jail contract kickback scheme versus a man indicted for investor fraud.
Maybe Mr. Peabody should run.
Mr Peabody would be a better candidate for the school board. He couldn't make things much worse.
Good grief, Ginger. Can you just write-in Mr. Peabody? Sounds like that would be as good a choice as either of those.
eta: ha! I'm not the only one who thought it.
Move-in madness is here! But I'm feeling honey-badgerish about it.
Yeah, our choices are not good either. That is why ranked choice voting of various kinds is needed.
Oh, and for your amusement, dreams last night included a new reality show - Judge Judi Dench.
Food: I baked halva chocolate-chips cookies to bring to the office tomorrow (my birthday's on Wednesday and Thursday [according to my two-calendars system] and I won't be in the offices), instead on studying. I'm a good co-worker. I'm also one step from making this recipe entirely vegan (just need a good egg replacement for this. And egg replacements are harder to find here).
In addition, discovered the magic of adding cashew to salads last week, and never looked back since.
(Edit: you know those tiny parts of posts or conversations that you sometimes leave behind because you're a bit all over the place - those parts that would actually help others to understand your intentions better? I seem to forget them about 80% of the time).
