Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

A drive by this morning to wish my cousin a Happy Birthday! I am forgetting what she calls herself here, but she knows who she is!

Dana, I know it's a year away, but I think you need to put this in your "places to try in Richmond" file: [link]

Also, it's beastly out there.

I have one more workday to get shit done before NASCAR. Wish me luck!

I had to be up stupid early for a meeting with some of our folks in the UK, and I can't even go back to bed afterward because I have ANOTHER early meeting. This is one of the downsides to being a manager.

Our wings are not tired.

Hippocampus! And yes, busy girl isn't seen often but we certainly hope she is having an awesome birthday.

Yay birthday

Early meetings are terrible. I am supposed to start work and call in to a meeting in 3 minutes. I don’t wanna. I slept on my couch last night because I only have one A/C unit, in my living room.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I didn't run yesterday and barely got out of the house.

I felt a bit guilty about posting my lowest step count of the year, so I woke up at 7 and got out running before 8.

Very foggy morning for a run but I didn't mind that.

Sometimes it's good to roll over and go back to sleep.

But sometimes it feels better to get up and get out the door early.

I managed to get my steps yesterday—walked the dog to and from daycare (much more pleasant in the morning) and went dancing. When I showed up to dancing I was like “it’s surprisingly not as hot in here as I feared!” But by the time I left, even though I think it was still 85 out, it felt like a cool breeze after the sweltering sauna our dance space had become!

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

Many happy returns hippocampus!

Had some serious fog coming through the pass this morning - unusual for this time of year and such a nice change! I did have a moment of thinking "wait, is this fog or is this smoke?" but it was definitely fog. And they may have over fixed the office A/C that was messed up last week, I might need to put on a sweater. So weird after melting at home the several days. Do not know how to dress for these conditions.
