Simones rocking it this olympics. For all the little black girls in lessons at my pool, I'm glad they've got a Simone Manuel Gold to aspire to, rather than black girl Phelps or black Ledeckey, both of which I've heard from parents this week.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Because books.
Well, I did leave him. I guess I did it for a reason, right?
Or maybe I'm callous and strange? I hope not.

What is even happening?
Amy baby, you've always been Willow (but not callous and strange in that way, dear).

I don't think you are callous and strange! I haven't been where you are and I appreciate hearing how it is for you, while feeling like my desire to take notes for further rumination is perhaps not the proper response.

OK, I have a lawn chair pointed at where I think Perseus will be visible above my neighbors roof later. If I wake up at 3 or 4 am, as I have been doing with some frequency, I'll go see what I can see meteor shower-wise. I have never had good luck with these, so I don't want to put forth too much effort, but I can do that much.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I have clothes to put on , because I have been waking between 3 and 4 as well - and I know which direction to look. It is slightly foggy out, but if I wake up it will be a good thing to do

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's 2am and I didn't see any meteors. I'm going to bed.

I saw a few, then I got cold and came back inside. Better than my historical average for meteor showers.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I wanted to go look for meteors, but I'm still fighting that cold, so I went to bed by 11:00.
