It's really really dark out and big fat drops keep starting and stopping.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Tom's second answer was right. 5^32.

I have purchased hopefully enough paint for the railing and new sanding discs in case I go nuts and start in on the adirondack chair.
I've organized it all so I just have one tub to haul out- cords and tarps and tools!
And damnit, if I want a full 2 mile swim tomorrow, gotta go at 7 to avoid the mean people. Ugh.
