So, apparently I am the only dumbass who thought: "oh my goodness! I cannot believe the ST actor had his arm amputated."

I thought, "That's weird they'd call him by the character's name instead of his own. I wonder..." then clicked through to the real guy. (So no, plenty of dumbass to go around :) ).

NO MORE STORMS UNTIL SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

I don't think we're supposed to get anything until rain on Monday.

All I want is for this gd cold to die. It's been over two weeks! And maybe was two or three colds stacked up but, whatever, argh. bleh. I just want my nose to heal.

Not the only one, le nub!

That's not how it works! That's not how any of this works!

Preach it, sister. And I'm doing this internally, with my own people.

No more colds!

It was blissfully rainy here last night and Noah was thrilled because his cub scout den made rain gauges. I'm annoyed that it's not a 1 inch cylinder (they used water bottles) because I can't figure out how an inch is really an inch in this system. Doesn't matter as he was excited.

He also got an award on Monday, which he was stoked about. It was for the character trait that they had this month (honesty)and he was supposed to invite us to the ceremony but forgot to give us the envelope.

Ever since he got an award, he's been an absolute peach of a kid too! I wonder if it would be like this if we could figure out how to have him get awards all the time.

Grace does not have that reaction, though. She gets an award, is proud and then sort of indifferent.

AND, my team got a $10,000 award which we are going to spend on books, mostly non fiction -- Henrietta Lacks, A Few Seconds of Panic and Unbroken are my first choices.

Good things, Kat!

We are hoping hoping for rain. We are optimistically planning on restacking and covering the firewood tomorrow morning in anticipation of precipitation's arrival on the afternoon. We shall see what actually transpires.

If the rain is evenly distributed across the plane parallel to the ground (just go with me here, we're gonna discount friction and drag as well) then it doesn't matter what diameter cylinder it is, an inch of verticality measures the same rate of rainfall.

today is my friday!!!!

suck it work!!!!

MINE TOO!

I needed a day. I need to buy stain and varnish samples. And scrap pine. And gas up my car, do some bank shit and other minor errands. Since I also want to swim, I just decided to toss the whole day.
