Snacking on carob chips?? But whyyyyy?
I don't know what to tell you, meara, I just picked up a taste for them. I was allergic to chocolate as a kid, but Mom never tried to tell me it was "just like chocolate," just that that was what I could have. Of course, I also enjoy drinking tonic water straight, so my tastes are kind of odd all around.
Gris, before my mother retired, parent-teacher conferences were one of her biggest headaches, and she always said she never had enough time to engage properly.
Oh wow, a friend just came over and hung out in my driveway for a couple of hours, and it was delightful!!

If my parents hadn't tried to trick me by saying Tiger's Milk bars were a type of chocolate bar, I might have ended up liking caraob. Instead I was filled with betrayal.

Wait, that's odd? I love the taste of tonic water.
Tiger's Milk bars
I actually love those. I feel so 1970s when I eat one. But my favorite protein bar is from Aldi.
A nice thing that happened: my office is getting ready to reopen for people who want to come in (but everyone still has carte blanche to work from home.) But there won't be personal desks anymore, so everyone is supposed to go in and clear away their goodies. One of my coworkers messaged me yesterday to let me know he was in the office, did I want him to box up my stuff and drop it by? And then he nerded out about games with Pete from the foot of our stairs.
We just had a thunderstorm roll through, and it dropped about 20 degrees.
Timelies all!
Still rather hot here. Supposed to be a little cooler tomorrow.(80 rather than 90)
I'm so glad you mentioned that. I was just thinking about going to the bike path for a ride, when I saw the post and decided to check the weather radar map. Man, there's a lot of yellow just a couple miles northwest of here.
Edited to add: Yup, now it's raining beagles.
Went out to store and had to wait for good number of protesters being escorted by police. People were beeping and yelling support. The "say the name - which one" chant broke me.
I went down to the protest (or rather, one of them—there were several today I think) and ended up marching a few miles and then peeled off and had to walk home. Ow. Ankle is not thrilled. But I don't have anywhere else to go today.
