I am so glad you went, -t. I waved from 6 hours away from the city.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Onerous adulting avoided!
I showed up for my dentist appointment, and they didn't have me on the schedule. Not deliberate gaslighting (I have my written appointment card), just a mistake on their part. New appointment in September.
This enormous feeling of relief at no dental work today is ridiculously juvenile, very much "No school today! No test!"

That's totally valid, dcp!
I am relieved that Facilities has confirmed that the AC in the area we just moved to at work is, in fact, not fully functional and it will be fixed. I am used to no AC at home, but having to haul myself to the office and then be uncomfortably warm was really getting me down.

ALso, I had a really good answer when someone on my weekly Monday Zoom call asked how my weekend was! Usually I have done literally nothing but today I had stuff to report and he was all interested and googling the theater while we talked, so that was fun.

I’ve agreed to wait for the camping people to let me know how Wednesday goes before I drive out there Thursday. They said the cabin and RV have air conditioning, so maybe ok. (ETA: Wednesday is supposed to be the hottest day this week)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is so fun, -t!
Hanging out in an air-conditioned cabin near the water sounds better than what I was imagining, meara!
My office is perfectly air-conditioned, after I complained last year. The other half of the floor is FREEZING, but it's just nice by me. Ahhhhhh.

That sounds like a good plan, meara

Agreed re: air-conditioning changing the math on that.
Finished a project.
And, wow, we just had an epic downpour.
How are you feeling, msbelle?

Thanks for the update, Epic! I'm glad you are at least getting information and being listened to, although I wish all this was easier.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My nephew's celebration of life is scheduled for early September. Right after my last round of chemo. I'm still alternating between heartbroken and so mad at him for taking his own life when I'm going through so much shit trying to extend mine.
Oof, that's hard, Epic. I'm glad your doctor spent time with you discussing the drain.
