I spent this weekend playing Animal Crossing, watching Queer Eye, and cooking. I made asparagus bacon and goat cheese omelettes, baked rigatoni, a batch of Thai green curry chicken, brownies, and a big batch of breakfast burritos.

The brownies turned out much better than my previous attempt and I ate them warm with vanilla ice cream.

I should have peaches coming today, so peach cobbler is in my future.

...and I missed the presentation. Oh well.

I have a monthly one on one with my manager, which seems fine. I can drop in on her (or call her, these days) any time as needed; having the one scheduled meeting on the calendar regardless is a good thing, though, as we both get busy and forget to touch base otherwise

Brownies! With ice cream! I miss ice cream; the little grocery I've been doing most of my shopping at has a crappy freezer and the ice cream is mostly freezer-burned so I stopped getting any there.

Planning to go to TJs tonight on the way to dog class because the one in Lafayette is usually pretty quiet. I will bring an insulated bag and ice to keep things cool during class. So excited, my first TJs run in 3 months.

Oh, hey, I know that TJ's!

I was watching something streaming yesterday that had ads and all of them seemed to mention fudge. Is there a pro-fudge conspiracy out there? I guess I"m not exactly against that.

I keep getting Trump's new ad here (PA) and it makes me throw up in my mouth a little every time.

All I want to eat is ice cream. So I got some yogurt (in addition to ice cream) to try to modulate that some...

I'm attempting to show ltc the CNN/Sesame Street town hall on racism. It's very talky and a little over her head at this age.

Yeah, my other friend's four-year-old gave it five minutes and then asked for regular Sesame Street....

Speaking as both a manager and manager, I highly recommend a weekly or bi-weekly one on one with your manager.

Agreed! I don't mind meetings all day, mostly, although Zooms all day is wearing. As long as I can have lunch, which I did -- including 10 minutes in the hammock! All is well.

Today is the kind of day where you discover that the nurse practitioner who seemed to be the only one at urgent care that could competently treat your migraine has moved. TO SKAGWAY ALASKA.

Oh, I'm sorry, Dana

Two more conferences, then a goodbye meeting for our department head, then a meeting to discuss my classes next year as we plan for weird schedules, then freedom.

I am getting the construction company the deposit to do my gate and garage door work.

I bought the airline tickets to go get Miley, the dog, from Texas (going and coming back same day - not leaving the airport) on Monday 6/22. Fares were cheaper and I figure fewer people going on a Monday.
