'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My boss came in to my office and said to me, "You have to cross the river! You'd better go! They are closing the bridges!" All dramatic like it was the apocalypse, and not just road closings for the rescheduled fireworks.
Yes! "BOSS I MUST FLEE THE OFFICE NOW. NOW!!!"
I totally talked myself out of leaving early, but now I will go and make my way across the waters.
It's really really dark out and big fat drops keep starting and stopping.
Ok, really starting now...
I was really hoping for storms today, or at least threatening cloud cover. Committed myself and staff to greenhouse work, and we fucking roasted.
But, the greenhouse is pretty once again, and we repotted a whole bunch of orchids and my intern started making a really cool log mount for two staghorn ferns that I bought. And our carnivorous plant collection is growing and becoming quite pretty. The sundew is already dotted with gnats (this one is called Octopus, it has red "tentacles"). Way cool.
Sound neat, Julie!
It's just constantly rumbling out there. Jeez.
I want rumblees. I miss my parents screened porch where we could sit during proper storms and enjoy the thunder and lightning and get just a bit misted from the rain.
Aaand, there's the rain!
I am so looking forward to a rainy no-plans day tomorrow!
I went to the Constitution (and museum) with cousin and family. Almost melted a couple times -- despite drinking a full bottle of water, I had next to no pee after 5 hours! The human body, it is wacky.
