  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Morning. Still lurking in the revision cave. Hoping to emerge briefly next week, but then diving right back in for another month.
  4. 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.
  5. KISS is really comprehensive, but the site is a pain in the rear to navigate.
  6. I used KISS grammar. Was that what we were talking about?
  7. 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!
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. And I swear, fixing my signature is on my to do list. One day. But today is not that day.
  11. 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!
  12. 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.
  13. 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!
  14. Morning. I live, per regulations. I've just been so busy for the last few weeks, I've been mostly working, eating, and sleeping, and not much else. But the busy time is almost over. Writing poems this morning and thinking about pulling out the paints and maybe going to see my art friend. Might do that tomorrow. Sorry I can't advise on the acrylics. I don't like them, so I don't use them. I have used Apple Barrel a long time ago on some craft project stuff, but I don't know how well it held up. It was just cardboard murals.
  15. Allergies are kicking my rear end. I got so bad yesterday morning I had to dump Benedryl on top of Claritin just to get my eyes not to swell shut. It's miserable.
  16. I'm trying not to get it--we are down to so few people at work we are about one case short of having to just shut it all down because we won't have enough people.
  17. I also am making a to-do list. I have to wait a bit to see if I'm scratching that to-do list out and doing another thing. Story of my life. But I know a few things that have to happen today regardless, so I'll get started on those soon.
  18. Some cooking is done. More to do this evening. It's not quite as hot as it was, so my walk didn't feel as much like torture as usual. I'm trying not to get used to it. Back up to sauna mode by Tuesday, I think.
  19. Food has been sent over to the in-laws. I had broccoli and okra for dinner, and will finish up with a nice sweet potato, and probably have a peach for dessert. I might be unbearable later tonight.
  20. Chicken and dumplings are cooked, made black-eyed peas to go with, mashed potatoes, sweet potato patties, and some cheese sauce to go with the broccoli. There will be fried okra later. Now I can write for the rest of the day. At least until it's dark and I can go out and water plants and walk.
  21. Morning. Same here, Slache. You mentioned it, and the person saw fit to disregard her own promise and your good advice. Now she has to live with whatever consequences of that action happen. I'm home today instead of at work. I ended up sleeping almost until 8, I was so tired from last week. Next week will be harder. I'm going to spend the day working on writing and cooking some. Also avoiding the heat. It's really bad out there today. I planned to walk this morning, but I slept until 8, so.
  22. One of my Atomic Grape tomatoes has fruit now! I'm really interested to see what colors they turn out to be. Stripy little things.
