I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

I've been going to my MIL's in the heat of the afternoon to work. With the dog it complicates life. We do have a pool which I use to cool off. Here's hoping he gets it fixed this morning. He's gone to the dog park this morning to get his mileage in first, which I agree with as he really wants to get down as much as possible before his hernia surgery on the 1st. The less he weighs the easier recovery will be.

I got a couple of new bathing suits and skorts and I just love them. Well the bathing suits are boring, but the skorts are super fun. This is my 4th of July one - [link] and this one I wore yesterday and it was super comfy, if warm, but then again it was 97! [link]

I can't see the second one but the first is super cute!

I ordered my day of the ceremony wedding ring (it's the band I'll wear when I don't want to wear the engagement ring/band that I have yet to design... well, work with a designer. Cool place in Philly that my niece used and insists I look into. They do cool stuff!)

It's tungsten with rose gold overlay or whatever... plating?... and abalone inlay. Pretty sure it's a man's ring and 100% don't care. I have big hands and longish fingers, so dainty doesn't work for me. It's so pretty! Very happy.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

That sounds pretty! Yay ring!

How cool!

Ooh, that sounds pretty. Designing your rings, how fancy!

Laura you sent me down an Amazon skort rabbit hole! I just spent a bunch of money yesterday, telling myself I do not need new things.

My deepest apologies, but of course you do need new things.

It is officially bike to work day. I am, of course, working from home, but I did ride down to the train station and back, and got a Bike to Work tote bag out of it, so that's nice. The e-assist thing will take some getting used to, I don't really feel in control of it yet, and sharing the road with cars remains scary (I thought there would be not many cars at 7:30 on a Friday morning, and there weren't many in comparison to actually busy streets, but there were more than I wanted!) but it's a start! The train station is a third of the way to the gym, so that gives me an idea of how hard that will be (and the rest of the way is on dedicated bike paths, so other than crossing a couple of roads there is much less to worry about in the way of cars). That'll be my interim goal before trying to actually bike to work which is pretty much all on streets without actual bike lanes or much shoulder but the same distance.
