Apparently a train just derailed in east/east of (Essex?) Baltimore and there was an explosion that people felt all over the city.
I felt nuthin'.

I'm prepping to leave for the airport shortly. The construction behind my house tore down the house behind me last week, and this morning at 8AM started shoveling it into a dumpster with a backhoe. Oh, this is going to be not fun. Ugh.
Also, periods suck. I feel like they ought to be more akin to using the bathroom--a semi-voluntary function, where at some point you feel like you need to go, so you do. Bam. We ought to be able to like, clench our uteruses once a month as needed and get rid of it, and not bleed for days, on no preferred schedule. Hrmph!!

Right now, however, my biggest problem is this dude in my office's cologne is making my eyes water.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Man, I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing for work today. I spent all morning tinkering with reports I ran last week (and doing one semi-regular task for one of my cubicle-neighbors, but that's completed for the week now) but those don't need to be run anymore and no one has given me anything else to do. The afternoon is a yawning abyss.

Also, periods suck.
Yes. Beyond the telling of it. I'm on month 2 with my Mirena and I've only had some light spotting. OMG, I feel like a new woman.
This headache needs to go away NOW. I have work, karate, and a meeting for CJ's ARP team tonight. I don't have time for this crap.

Emmett's got his tournament team, but he doesn't have a summer job every day during the week so...I'm afraid he's going to be harder to entertain.
Won't some of his friends be hitting driving age now? I think that tends to relieve a lot of parental entertainment responsibilities (which may or may not be comforting).

Emmett himself is driving age though he doesn't have his license yet. And a lot of his friends are driving already. Unfortunately, there's local driving around the neighborhood and then there's having them face rush hour on the Bay Bridge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Emmett's 17 now, isn't he? Or close to?
(I know my little cousin is a year younger, and he just turned 16. And is ENORMOUS!)

Public transportation is always good for wasting time.
I don't remember having major summer plans in high school -- went to camp for a week or two, did some babysitting, generally hung out the rest of the time. I never had a full-time job until after I graduated high school.
