I'm waiting for the crash, which hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, there's very little I have to do today.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy to be working from home this week, it's gonna be hot hot hot.
I wish I were going to the office for similar reasons. I could be in the air-conditioned bedroom some, but not for meetings, which is most of my day. Good times.

Ugh, Dana.
ltc and I did a clean up of the living room so that the therapist won't see chaos in the background. My other goals for the day is to do a couple loads of laundry and fill up a paper shopping bag with papers to be recycled. It's about half filled so far.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm probably too late on this, but the therapist has seen worse and won't judge, so if tidying to make a good impression is adding to your stress, you don't need to do it.
The AC in my house is doing its best, but 3 days in a row of 90+ degree weather is taking a toll. I'm filling up the pool in the backyard now.

Around here, 90+ F temperatures are pretty typical for July and August, so my building and AC are set up for it. The AC's running more often than not, though. My summer power bills are always worse than my winter ones.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am keeping the lights off and shades drawn where ever sun is hitting the house. It will still get warm by this afternoon and keep the a/c running, but the longer I can hold it off, the better.
I need to get a tool to be able to grab the pulls for the ceiling fans. I don't want extenders because then anyone taller than me risks getting hit by them.

Jessica, the clean up was already done when I posted, and ltc did most of the work. It actually helped me from flitting about all morning worrying. So it's all good.

It's 55F and foggy here, and I have been informed that I may be working from home through June 2021, so mentally I'm face-down on the floor making a disconsolate whining noise.
whyyyy did I wake up at 4:30 after three hours of sleeeeep
Broken sleep is bad and it should feel bad.

Had a nap. Slightly more rested/coherent?

Our wings are not tired.
Yay for napping!
I have a husband and dog. He got here a couple hours ago. Already checked him in for his flight first thing in the morning. We'll go out for NY pizza tonight.
