I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It is growing all over my yard. I think I need to be able to recognize it when it's still shoots to enjoy eating it, and that's beyond my abilities. Pretty, though.

Liese, are you going to be in KC during your big Midwestern trip?

I bought a candle when I went to Target. But my allergies are so bad, I can't smell it. Sadface.

-t, WRT the pool. My app only has the In-Shape on Dover listed. Sorry I couldn't be of more help (is the pool new?)

It's maybe 2 years old? Over a year, I joined last January and it had been open for a few months at that point. I'm pretty sure I can find a way to measure it. Thanks for looking!

My pool is listed there as 25 m, but I know it is 25yds. (I know this because other Ys here are competition sites officially rated at 25 yds and my times are the same there.)

I'm ending my week with my annual review discussion. I used to face these with dread, but after this week from hell and some conversations I've had with my functional subcontract supervisor, I'm feeling like we're all on the same page and it'll be candid ( functional!= official subcontract supervisor, more hate for the subcontract because I adore both and it just makes more work for them.) So it'll be fine.

Just remembered to pick up everything off the basement floor, including mats that aren't protecting the workbench, in case I get lotsa water again. I even created 'channels' with spare wood. Won't do anything about what comes from below, but might localize the puddles.

That's quite a topper for your week, but, yeah, could be good timing.

Heh, I was thinking that if it only took me half as long as my training program said than it was probably half the distance, but I could easily be twice as slow as they suppose so the converse doesn't work.

Conversation about the 'award'this week should be interesting, if nothing else( functional supe is PISSED because she believes the work qualifies for a higher calibre of recognition and I can't disagree.) Though I haven't really even given it much though because WEEK FROM HELL. Shit, I need to send a thank you to the head of that anyway. Even though they had nothing to do with it. Silence is loud.

Stupid nutty week.

Do we have Buffistae in Amsterdam? I'm going to Greece in July (woo!) and will be flying through there, and several of the flight options would give me one night's layover. I'd rather not pay for a hotel on top of this stupidly expensive flight if I don't have to, but I don't know if I know anyone who lives there.

Ooh, or I could fly through Rome (also with a one-night layover), where I've never been. Hmm...
