Whew, end of the work day and I'm furloughed tomorrow. And it's another heat advisory, so not the funnest day off, but I think lying around not working while I melt will be nicer than working while I melt? Maybe I will go grocery shopping and see about donating blood...

And now for something completely different, and totally cheerful, Dragon docking with the International Space Station to a possibly recognizable tune...

I really love my neighborhood. Someone posted on the neighborhood FB group earlier today that she and her husband screenprinted a batch of Black Lives Matter signs and offered to drop them off at people's houses for anyone who wanted one. I replied maybe an hour ago, and she just dropped the sign off. So nice!

Timelies all!

As if life isn't stressful enough, Nova(our outgoing kitty) isn't feeling well. She's not eating much, if at all, and is having digestive issues. I don't know if it's something she ate that she shouldn't have, or the stress of dealing with a pre-schooler who keeps picking her up when she doesn't want to be picked up, or what. I'm dropping her off at the vet tomorrow morning so they can check her out, Poor kitty...

Cat~ma for Nova.

aww Dragon and ISS in a little slow-mo dance.

I am dying my hair, Nothing exciting, just brown. Hoping to match my natural color and cover up the green hued area showing up where it had been bleached. I bought 2 lighter shades with the idea of doing some highlights after this base tone is set. Not sure how well I will be able to do that, but might give it a go.

Power's out. At least it's still relatively cool in my bedroom with the shades drawn, and I don't lose water.

With the mask pattern I've been using, I can make about six masks a day, maybe 12 if I really work at it. But I can make simpler masks (no filter pocket, no nose wire, not being super careful about the measurements) a lot more quickly, and I'm thinking I might just make as many of those as I can for the protesters. I'll put in a lightweight interfacing layer for some extra filtration.

Power-ma, -t!

So last Friday (maybe??) I watched something on television called Haircut Night in America, and it was super ridiculous and yet also entertaining. But anyway, anyone who did color (including Jerry O'Connell touching up Rebecca Romijn) did it pretty basic.

Oh good lord, a helicopter crash has caused a large scale power outage in my area. PG&E says my outage is "cause unknown", so not sure if I am in that or not, but yikes.
