oooh, thanks Jen. Saved.
Maybe I've always been here.

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.
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!
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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 basically always feel better about life if I get up and out the door early, but it is VERY HARD to remember that when it is early.

I stumbled across a groundhog in my driveway this morning while bringing in some laundry. Cute little fella(?) froze, then scampered across the street into a neighbor's yard. I hope the local cats aren't a problem for it.
In related news, I've abandoned the idea of growing cucumbers or other vegetables in a backyard garden. The groundhogs are welcome to all the wild strawberries they want to eat, however.

It's so annoying that this is so true.
Wild strawberries! Cool.
