I am off today, but it is pissing rain out. Good thing I have a stack of books and DVDs from the library to get through.

I did go out earlier and got caught in the rain. My "waterproof" jacket was soaked through in minutes. Ugh.

Oh, that's a shame. Waterproof jackets are so great when they work and so not when they don't. Books and DVDs inside while it's raining outside sounds pretty wonderful, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why is it still so early? And loud, with people walking around making noises and wanting answers to questions?

Fuck. My coworker's son was apparently hit by a car.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I did not stay in yesterday despite the soreness because it was the last day of my beach weekend, but I pretty much plan on not moving off the couch today except to forage food from the fridge. Everything for the baby is set up so I don't have to move from here to tend her needs. TCG has my car today because someone hit his parked car hard enough last week to take his side mirror off. So, I really couldn't go anywhere even if I wanted to.

Oh, no -t! That's horrible.

-t, oh my! What happened?

I came in this AM and there was no air conditioning site wide. What that means, is that 5000 students and probably 500 adults were going to have to work without AC on a day that was supposed to be close to the 90s. Then the air kicked back in within the last 10 minutes.

We don't really know what happened or how bad it is, yet, she's on her way to the hospital now, but knowing she has to go all the way to Children's Hospital in Oakland has me worried.

Oh, no, -t. I hope it turns out okay.

Fingers crossed your AC stays on Kat.

I hope it's just that children's was the closest, t!
