However, what I need more than those 2 things is an ongoing income, so I am editing despite the fact that I seem to only have 3 functioning brain cells today.

No, no, I'm sure I read somewhere that that's enough for a quorum. I mean, it worked that way on Inside Out, right?

I'm exhausted because I couldn't convince myself to go to bed early last night and then I got paranoid that I'd sleep through my alarm. I'd dearly love to be in a blanket burrito right now.

On the bright side, the spinach empanada I had for breakfast was A+ and I'll buy that one again next week at the farmer's market.

Moving truck will arrive tomorrow! That gives me a couple of days to unpack enough stuff to make room for the couch.

I didn't sleep that well either, and this is supposed to be the hottest week of the year, but I'm still not convinced I would sleep better with the air conditioner! The cycling on and off tends to wake me up. So maybe I'm going to stick it out a/c free for the whole summer.

I've just had two hours of more or less useless meetings, so now I guess it's time to do some work?

I need to: (1) sleep more, and (2) once I wake up, read books in the a/c all day.

This is an excellent plan, I would like to sign up for this program.

Hahahaha the Zombies, Run! virtual race will be in late October. Of course I have to do that one. So that'll be three that month...who is this person and how did I become her?

Yay stuff! Yay benefits!

Timelies all!

Gary's at work and I am here. Let's see how the day goes.

I have gotten through the summer on the ceiling fans, augmented by a box fan through the worst weeks. We've always had an a/c in the window before, but I sleep cooler that Hubby did. The electricity bill is happier.

Prescriptions refilled. I really shold do actual work work...

Mom says the quake knocked an icon off the wall at their place, but other than that they are fine. I think the Hayward fault runs pretty close to them although the epicenter was not right there. Seems to me that when they did have a quake centered nearby it was on that fault.

It's even hot here too. But it has been cooling off in the evening, so it's tolerable. Our AC at work seems to work harder the warmer it is, so my office is freezing. I think I may have to go outside to warm up.

The electricity bill is happier.

Our ancient kitty has taken to lying in the open bathroom window ALL DAY every day this summer. She doesn't seem to give a crap about the birds outside the window (of which there are many), so we think the heat feels good to her old bones, and breathing the humid air is good for her respiratory problem.

Our electric bill has taken somewhat of a hit for this habit (because the central air is still on even though the bathroom window is open), but...she's 18, you know? We want her to be comfortable and happy. (Or, alternatively, we got massively played by a 4-pound kitty.)
