Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I understand that Yahoo bought tumblr for $1 billion (with a "b") and Wordpress is getting it for $3 million (with an "m"). So, bit of a fire sale there. Who'd have thought removing the porn and keeping the Nazis would have monetary consequences? (Aside from roughly everyone.)

In other, unrelated news, I did the first draft of a project, due tomorrow, last Friday. And I came in today thinking that I had so much stuff I needed to do to finalize it. Turned out I needed to spend five minutes writing and another 30 seconds printing something out. That was it. Usually, it works out the other way around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have just been dicking around all morning, and I have actual work to do! WTF.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We took a bus tour that went to Kilkenny, among other places. Interesting, but a lot of time was spent dealing with Mr. S.(like the boat tour on the River Nor, where he kept dangling his hands off the side of the boat)

Tomorrow we take the train to Galway.

Our wings are not tired.

Enjoy the tours! Sorry about the struggles with Mr. S. Does he respond to bribery? I liked the stage where Brendon could be bribed. Alas, it didn't really last.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ugh. We are under an Extreme Heat Advisory until Friday at 10 pm. I don't think I've seen one that long before.

As long as there aren't any fires I will not complain. Much.

Yikes t, what kind of temperature is it? I painted half my bathroom this morning, and am trying to decide if I want to go to the beach this afternoon (it's like 77 out?) or go buy the additional paint I need. Or in what order I should do those. Would paint sitting in a hot car go bad, for an afternoon?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Been fighting off anxiety attack all day. It feels like there is too much to do and I'm going to miss things.

I am dealing by plowing through work tasks until I hit roadblocks or the end of work in that specific task bucket.

For life, well lists I guess.

Tonight - gym, dinner, Bailey to sitter, pack.

Tomorrow - foster to sitter over lunch, show sitter how to do shots and deal with needles/insulin. Pick up at 6pm for flight.

That doesn't seem like so much, maybe my 2 Dr appts this week and having to get a scrip refilled (already done) are residually making me feel over scheduled.

The highest high is 108, meara. Do not want. I wonder if I can Miss Kitty a cool cave out of a cooler and ice packs. She might go for that.

You can do it, msbelle!

108 is about 30 degrees too many for my taste!!

I decided to just get the paint and contemplate beach tomorrow.
