Jeeesus Christ, it's hot.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
You're looking too, Epic?
Okay I should preface with I've never played matchmaker to anyone, so there's that. Also if I know him, he's probably either an academic or a dad or both. :-)
I am hanging a the library enjoying the air conditioning and free wifi while the kids are taking a practice test for the ISEE test. Just to practice test taking skills. I am such an evil mom, I know. My mom never woulda done me like that. Then again, dad is bribing them with a new computer drawing program (for the girl) and a new game (for the boy), which is another thing my mom woulda never done (unless you count taking us out for ice cream in exchange for washing the car).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
shopping done. 2 very exciting non-cotton, elastic waist ALSO with drawstring, black shorts.
then 2 pairs of non-compression exercise pants for me, a dry fit shirt, a 5 lb kettleball, and these shoes [link] which are totally boring looking, but feel like walking on little clouds of comfort.

Wow, Anne, how was that? Extra exhausting or did it add to the fun?
I went and ran for the first time since last week's 10k (which was the first time in two months). My NONbroken foot is still hurting though. Grr. And then I got home and found a $234 speed camera ticket for going 26 in a 20. Holy CRAP that's a lot of money. I can afford it but I know a lot of folks who that would fuck up their life pretty hard for a while. I mean, what happened to like $50??

It was a huge amount of fun, meara, but I am Wiped. Out.

Okay, really hot turned into crazy thunderstorm, wind, and hail. Power was out for about half an hour. All quiet now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, Anne, that sounds fun!
meara, yikes! That's a lot of money for not a lot over the limit, it sounds like to me.
Cooked out with the neighbors, which was really nice, but I ate too many chips. Unsurprisingly.

Spent all afternoon priming the ceiling. Man, sheetrock and plaster are thirsty. About to start on the second coat, with regular paint.
Swim was weird. And fucking slow, but nothing felt quite right, shocker. I cut it down to 1.5 miles rather than my usual two and kept stopping to stretch because things kept knotting up. It helped though. But definitely worst time in a very long time.
...aaaand I started to post this at 6:30, so 3 hrs ago. Just finished painting and cleanup.
