Sorry Gud, but you're one of the hardest workers I know. I'm sure you'll have a new job lined up in short order.

I'd planned to mow today, but the 108° heat index threw that plan right out the window. It was even sweltering at 7 am this morning. If Code Enforcement comes after me, I'll just ask if my neighbors would prefer I drop a lit match on my lawn and see how fast a crabgrass wildfire can spread over the property lines.

Moving to Minnesota is really feeling like a good decision right now.

Sounds like I probably have a job lined up now, but I can't let up on the search until I know for sure.

Punishingly Intricate

I’m so glad for you, Gud! I hope you give yourself time to find a great fit. Your skills are very much in high demand and you’ll have your pick of positions.

Wow Gud that’s fast! Go you!!

I went to an indigo girls concert tonight—the beginning was stressful as it was “ZooTunes” and apparently they have to end promptly at 830 because of the neighbors, so they start promptly at 530!! Which meant even though I went pretty promptly after work it was already PACKED by the time I got there. But I found my friends and it was nice to hang out, even if they didn’t play some of the songs I was hoping for. I haven’t been to an Indigo girls concert in probably 15 years?

The smoke is back. This time, accompanied by oppressive humidity. Do not like.

Now that's just crazy talk! Who doesn't love breathing in wet, hot ash?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ugh. I never thought "at least it's a dry smoke-filled air" would be a relevant addition to my weather-related small talk
