I need river time.

Morning. Emerging from the revision cave for a few days, but now I've got to go underground again. Naturally, I'm fighting a terrific headache today and I didn't sleep that great last night.

Someone mentioned funnel cake. Gimme.

Morning. Coming up from the revision cave long enough to gulp some air, then back in I go for probably the rest of the year. For sure the rest of September, November, and December. Possibly out for a minute in October. Got to get a few items for the boys to study this year as part of their gap year. It's going to be a challenge balancing work/life/gap year stuff, but I'm probably up to it with enough caffeine.

Morning. Still lurking in the revision cave. Hoping to emerge briefly next week, but then diving right back in for another month.

I'm sitting here procrastinating revisions and wishing it would rain. But I can't ignore them much longer because they will take me around four hours to complete today, and then I've got style sheet notes to finish.

KISS is really comprehensive, but the site is a pain in the rear to navigate.

I used KISS grammar. Was that what we were talking about?

Morning. It's Monday, and boy does it feel like it. No school stuff here as it's gap year, and I still haven't gotten all my stuff together for study this fall. Some of it, not all of it. Probably plan on starting here around the first of September since we are still finishing up with a lot of gardening projects from the summer and no rain of note and horribly hot weather means no outings can be made just yet. I'm buried up to my ears in revisions right now anyway!

Everyone is so productive! I feel a bit like a salted slug. It's hot and I went for my walk and I almost died, but didn't because of ITT regs. I'm staying in the cool for most of the day if I can, although I do need to step out and water plants this afternoon. I'm really ready for fall to get here, too. Other than that, just staying busy. I need to order some math for the boys and look at some science stuff that they can study as part of their gap year. I think I pretty much have everything else.

I think I'm still here. Possibly. I know I'm not dead per ITT regs. It's turned hot again, there's a cat either chasing a sock or a paper wad under the bed, and I need to banish the goat because I went out and walked in the hot.

And I swear, fixing my signature is on my to do list. One day. But today is not that day.

Monday. My child took his kayak out to the lake to fish today. I'm listening to thunder roll and hoping he's off the lake by now and on his way home. Other than that, it rained all weekend and so my mood is about a thousand times better than it was last week because the clouds were so refreshing. ETA: He just walked in the door. No fried lake turtles!

Morning. Barely. It's still hot. Hopefully we'll get some rain and a reprieve from the heat this weekend. I'm thinking seriously about going out to the river if it does rain, just to watch the spectacle because I've forgotten what it looks like.

Yep. In October. You know, when the whole world isn't on fire like it is right now. ETA: An it's-too-hot-to-party Booyah!
