Today’s report

[beowabbit]

THE GOOD

• I got to sleep late.
• I got to meet plumtreeblossom near her work for lunch.
• I got my car back. The brakes work now.
• I helped desiringsubject and imvfd get some data off a failing hard drive.
• Having gotten my car back, I was able to run some errands I’d had pending for a while.

THE BAD

• Having slept late, I got a later start to the day than I had planned to, and didn’t get a bunch of stuff done around the house that I had meant to.
• My ankle — actually, my foot this time; the pain has moved — has become problematic again.
• I did an awful lot of walking before I called and found out that my brakes were done.
• Some of this walking was back and forth on what I thought was imvfd’s and desiringsubject’s street, before giving up and taking a cab to the garage that had just told me I could retrieve my car. (I later figured out that I had been on the wrong street, and that was why the street numbers made no sense. If I try to tell anybody that the hormones are making me less st00pid, please remind me of this fact.)
• I felt slightly rushed all day.

THE UGLY

• Yesterday’s high in Boston was 89°F (about 32°C). I suspect today’s high was higher. Right now, several hours after dark, the temperature is 83°F. Those of you who live in habitable warm places need to understand what the humidity is like. And the pollen. If I lived in Antarctica, it would be the middle of the winter right now! Sorry, everbody, I love you all, but the penguins call.

He. Hehe. It was 96 degrees out here yesterday. At least you all get some sort of sea breeze.

But hey, at least we don't live in Tokyo! I've heard that from others too.
