Memory loss is a weird thing -- like, why would your brain lose the times tables but be okay with algebra? Neurobiology fascinates me.

I accomplished a LOT in the last few hours -- went to the bank, went to the post office to return 2 pairs of potential wedding shoes to Zappos (bless their free returns), went to the mall to order favors for the wedding* (because my dad was unexpectedly generous, guests are getting the little 2-piece Godiva chocolate box), went to Staples for more printer ink, went to Barnes & Noble to get the kids' book that's one of the wedding readings, and went to Trader Joe's (who now has gluten-free beer, woot!).

It's 90 degrees, and I am spent. Geez. Gotta do dishes now and rustle up some dinner.

*(Okay, and a creme brulee truffle for me.)

Go Teppy!!!! I take it your head is better?

I am hungry, and have no food, but don't want to get dressed and leave the house because I am LAZY.

Also, trying to convince myself to keep working rather than refreshing the internet hoping there will be new exciting things. Mostly failing, because the training I'm trying to do keeps freezing.

Go Teppy!!!! I take it your head is better?

My head seems basically better. I keep getting a flutter here and here behind my cheekbone, like "Oh, I can still fuck you up if I want, missy, so you'd better behave," but then it doesn't escalate. So far, so good.

I'm kind of hungry, but the heat really makes me nauseous, so I'm not sure that I can eat anything. Plus I don't have much food in the house. And I'm tired. If I get hungrier, I can try an English muffin, I guess.

No more work today. Putting away the work computer. Until tomorrow. Gah.

Is it too early to crawl in bed?

It has been floating around 100 in Burbank all week with humidity around 50% and we are outside installing Halloween Horror Nights. It was 85 last night at 2 AM driving home. Not on weather. Not on.

Steph, glad you're feeling better.

ND, that is too hot for hard work. Hope everyone is staying hydrated!!

I am, quite frankly, stunned. It's 81 degrees, but it feels absolutely gorgeous out.

The breeze is so lovely, Cagney insisted we stay outside. I dragged a chair out and sat with him while he howdied with the passersby...of which there were quite a few.

Very, very unusual weather for the end of August.

In other news, the petcare manager got a text from a woman I absolutely loathe today saying that she heard I'd been bitten by a dog and that I ordered it put down.

She has reason to cause me trouble as she is the walker who lied and stole clients from the company. I was the one who compelled the suit against her...which she lost.

I'm just boggled how she even heard about it.

I wrote to her on facebook, stating the facts, but have not heard from her.

As if I didn't have enough to deal with.

Yikes, ND. No heat exhaustion ~ma. Yes, hydrate.

So, I spent the day helping birth a baby. Poor SIL. After more than 24 hours she just couldn't deal with the thought of another contraction and got the epidural, and then about 5 minutes later it was push time. Then I watched my wee nephew Negasi enter the world. Besides the 5 family and friends people there I had my other SIL on speaker phone so she could hear us all yelling PUSH. It really is an amazing process, but painful, damn, watching her brought back that memory. Ouchie for reals.

The nurse asked her about the nursing and if she wanted to wait until the crowd cleared. Nope, there had to be a dozen of us tearing up watching baby boy enjoying his first meal. Although SIL and I aren't related by blood we share the whole lack of modesty thing. It was awesome that she was able to have so much support surrounding her.

I am exhausted! I was there for the last 10 hours. Watching your loved one is pain is tough stuff.
