Let's see, sweatsoaked trip to the market, sweatsoaked trip to Target and Bloodbath, sweatsoaked trip to pool, 2 miles in pool, 2 loads of laundry, sweaty cat-feeding for a neighbor. So what did I neglect to do today?

Oh yeah, EAT! Idea of food was just disgusting (though I did manage a handful of blueberries and an apricot after market) and now I'm wondering why I'm vaguely nauseated. DUH. Forcing an empanada and some cherries into me.

Man, tonight's storm is LOUD. So far we haven't had any rain where I am but lots and lots of rolling crazy loud thunder.

I should find something to eat, too. Thanks for the reminder, sara. When the kids aren't home it is easy for me to forget.

rain all the way around us, no rain here.

been grumpy all day, big surprise. I am so mad at my boss and also so worried about my job.

msbelle,

would it help to have a conversation with your boss next week?

well maybe, but he is out for a week and a half on vacation. That is part of the frustration, he has never talked to me about any of this (and I was warned by a former asst. of his that he wouldn't), then he has this unschedule meeting with me produces a written warning with HR witness and then leaves for the day.

what an asshole.

SRSLY

yeah, I am thinking if there is any chance to work for someone else in the near future I will apply. really bad management.

Gack, msbelle. That's definitely uncalming.

I wrangled my apartment mostly into obedience, but it took me the better part of a day. I need to not let stuff overwhelm me. But at least when my mother asks tomorrow if it's tidy enough for a cleaner--the answer will finally be yes.

You can get upholstery and carpet cleaning from the same people, right? I seem to have dumped something at the base of the lounge, and the carpet is...well, it's vacuumed! I want cleaner than that, though.

Well, it's hit 82 downstairs. Given it was 103/106 (depends on who you ask) today, and lows haven't dropped below the mid 80s, with highs at or near a hundred for the past week, I'd say that isn't doing too bad, with no AC on this level, just the upstairs' cranked. It's currently 94 out, with 50% humidity at 10 pm.

That said, I am soaking my feet in cold water. Today, while maybe not the hottest this week, was definitely the worst in terms of humidity and air quality. Uhg. I can't believe I'm looking forward to Monday, when the mid-80s will feel positively cool.
