Feeling a bit better about things, lightening up about the layoff and such. Had a great day taking my baby out to lunch to meet a second cousin and meet up with my wife. LOVING the weather tonight as it is cool, clear air and low humidity. Had about four days of rain that we desperately needed here and I loved that as well as...

So, today was an interesting day at work. "My position was eliminated'. Euphemism for i don't work there no more. Lovely, lovely. All done in kinda a smarmy way, to be honest. Also, the guy that they kept was incompetent at his job. Kinda funny.

Hmmmmm....

Is it just me that finds those 'drink stirrers' - you know, the sticks, be they glass or plastic - more than a little bit inadequate? I mean, if you want your drink stirred, should you use something that has a bit more surface area, like, um, a *spoon*?

wondering if a blog entry is written but nobody reads it does it make an impact?

My baby is now over two months old - and she is a darling. Well, truth be told she's been a darling all along - she definitely has her daddy's heart on a string.

Coolin' off (finally) and may be able to turn off the window ACs. Going to get a few days in Maine but this past week sounds like it was a better...

I need to clean my place up. I've been collecting things for quite a while and I really need to bring order to chaos. Sucks that it is going to be in the 90s the better part of the coming week. At least the basement is one of the areas needing attention.

Here in the States it is Independence Day tomorrow - happy birthday and...

Three days coming up of 70s and 50s at night - I love it! Sex weather - woo hoo!

It is going to be too hot again today; ugh. At least tonight will bring mid 50s F and the next day mid 70s; repeat for each of the next three days. I'm sure many will complain about the non-summer like weather, but I'll be loving it (and loving the undisturbed sleep I'll be getting). It has been brutal sleeping lately.

wishing all the fathers out there a happy Father's Day. Celebrated my first such occasion by relaxing and caring for the newborn. She/s very cute and cuddly, even with the hot weather and when she's fussy.

with today came the thunderstorms again, beautiful in their power and renewing with their rain. Shant have to water the gardens for a while; that's good as I've not hooked up hoses this year yet. Better still was the break in the weather, meaning the heat and humidity slid out of here and we've been graced with 50 degrees tonight and low humidity - hooray!...

It is too effing hot. I mean, *way* too fucking hot. I hate heat and humidity, and humidity even more. It isn't like it is over 85, but the humidity makes it nasty. Someday I might have enough money to buy a place with central air, but right now we're all suffering. Dunno how the cats can make it so easily, I'm only scruffy on...
