Oh my goodness- so many animals I can be ok with no sloths!

Our wings are not tired.
ETA we did get to about 15,500.
Well done! I felt like we were visiting another planet up there.
So cool! I'll be looking for pictures and tales of adventure.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, brenda, that sounds so amazing!

I am freaking exhausted this morning. I got home late after dinner with Stephanie and Maria, but then I couldn't sleep. Caffiene isn't helping at all. I feel betrayed.

Yay Brenda and shrift! Yay buffistas dinners!
It was apparently 92 here yesterday, which is bizarre. Today is in the 80s they say. While a fan cooled my room down plenty overnight, I'm thinking my 4th floor loft office is not the place to work today. The library has AC but will likely be packed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Welcome home, brenda and shrift! It sounds like a fantastic trip!
Today's minor problem: The sole lining thing of these shoes came unstuck, so it gets wrinkly and annoying as I walk. So I put insoles in, and now the shoes are too tight. It seems dumb to pull out the lining altogether, but maybe that would help?
I have glued insoles back in before. Only thing, you can't put the glue all over, or in a continuous line, or the sole won't be able to bend and it'll pull out again. Try just putting dots of glue in the places it's pulled loose, and wear it to press the glue til it dries (if you can without gluing your foot in!).
I am wiped out. Seeing the psychiatrist and the shopping and then waiting at TWO pharmacies and still didn't get two of my scripts filled, and it's 96 degrees out. Now I'm sitting in my nice dimly-lit cool den in my underwear trying to grow some spoons.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow brenda, that sounds like an amazing trip!
Were waiting for rounds and then discharge. Should be quick, but with what I know it still means hours.
Yay for good recovery, and yes, my experience with "quick" in hospital terms matches up with yours.
after dinner with Stephanie and Maria
Yay for f2f dinners!
And meara, I would think the positive response f2f trumps a little delay in getting back to you, in terms of signs of interest. It might be revealing of her personality. I say that as a person who is warm and open but also easily distracted and forgetful (and perhaps prone to not replying in a timely manner for whatever lame reason), so no judgement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that is also a good idea, Zen -- thanks! #sweatyfeetproblems

It might be revealing of her personality.
Yeah, we had kind of mutually flaked on getting together before (she suggested something, I responded later than I should have (close to the suggested day/time), she never responded to that), so I suspect it may be endemic. I figure I'll de-escalate and write her back online (rather than another text) asking if it was mercury retrograde (since we did discuss astrological signs!) or a no on the "drinks and making out" plan. :) Sadly, I can think of several cheeky/cute/flirty ways to say things in person, all of which could be misread in text/email. Boo.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Today's accomplishments: testing Skype so next week's interview has less chance of tech problems, walking a mile while it was only in the 80s, hauling out Mom's sewing machine and figuring out bobbin loading and threading the needle, finding my good sewing scissors, and setting up a place for my home office printer. I was thinking of walking to the farmers market, but it's now 97, so that's not gonna happen.
May your spoons regrow soon, Zenkitty. That was a lot to accomplish in the heat.
