Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My sister and her GF don't have AC in their house. It's supposed to still be 80 at 10 PM tonight. So I'm not sure about sleeping. Maybe I'll get a hotel or else head back to Chicago tonight.

At least my cat has AC. (I left it on fo her, set to 77.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't wear halter tops, unfortunately, unless they're a fake halter. I can't run anything load bearing over my trapezius muscles at that angle. Five minutes to headache, unless the nerve block is fresh and in full effect.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have a style in my brain that my body can't support.

I have a style in my head that my laziness can't support. Okay, more like twenty styles I'd like to rock, but the point is I mostly stay generic and easy.

This is me, much to Tim's chagrin.

Although today we have a wedding that I'm wearing the retro polka-dotted dress to. (I did not shop for new shoes, due to walking the dog in the heat yesterday and sort of passing out in front of the church. I'm fine, but once I got me and the dog back home, I laid on the tile kitchen floor, drank gatorade, threw up, drank more gatorade, threw that up, contemplated going to urgent care, took a nap, and eventually felt okay around 11 pm. So no shoe shopping.)

But the dress will be kicking.

Because books.

Good god, Steph. That sounds like classic dehydration. Make sure you hydrate today!

I love that dress, by the way.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The other day as I was leaving work, a woman in a business suit got into the elevator, looked at me, and said "you are so lucky you get to dress comfortably at work".

My office building is where all the Clear Channel radio stations broadcast from, so I *know* I am not the scruffiest person in the building. There's never any doubt that you're on the elevator with a Clear Channel person.

I eventually was able to keep water and dinner down yesterday, so I got some hydration back in me, and I will definitely be hydrating all day today, since it's supposed to be goddamn 96 and humid and we have to go to a birthday party -- outdoors -- for Tim's dad BEFORE the wedding. (I will be wearing shorts and a t-shirt and then changing into the dress before we leave. No fool, me.)

I have military and an oil company with field workers in my building, so I'm never going to be the most comfortably dressed one in the elevator.

Praise all gods for 10-20% humidity in high summer.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I actually do have a style, it's just fairly boring. But I like it!

This is me! Mostly black, grey, and navy with the occasional pop of color. I like a simple outfit with a fabulous accessory.

The other day as I was leaving work, a woman in a business suit got into the elevator, looked at me, and said "you are so lucky you get to dress comfortably at work".

I have never understood why this was an issue. If your clothes are uncomfortable, find ones that aren't. The one exception was pantyhose in the summer, but now that hose are no longer a professional requirement, I don't see the problem.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I love that I can wear jeans when I go into the office.

CJ is off to his first day of work at his summer job - working the concession stand at the local pool. Sounds like the perfect job for a 15 year old boy, right?
