Well. Here it is July 7th and I still haven't gotten my rear in gear. All I've managed to do was little piddly stuff: We always do "safe and sane" fireworks for the 4th, which we did again this year. Went with hubby and dd while they went to see the doctor. As I mentioned, replaced a couple of thermostats and put up and indoor/outdoor bluetooth weather station. Repaired a couple of hose ends so I could insert trigger grip nozzles, helped sort wire and screws, walked the dog and yada yada. Small stuff.

But I have plans for tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that, so I think I just needed a break. I feel like my energy might be coming back, and after a nice rest most of my aches and pains have throttled back.

So here's hoping I get a good night's sleep and wake up ready to roll tomorrow.

This thing survived its brush with the power being off for several hours today. Before anyone asks the city checks the buildings electrics once a year and today was the day.

Though I will admit this site has been acting weird this evening.

It's hot by you, ain't it?

Don't hurt yourself.

I was having generic inet problems a few days ago (I could connect up with google and duckduckgo after a long time, but everything else I tried either said server not found or connection timed out), but it turned out it was the provider.

Other than that, this is the first time I'm on it this eve, and it's been OK for me.

Been out in the rain and back. Looking for something to turn into a writing table.

That's good Kiki. Maybe this thing was just reacting to having the power out and back on, so it was sluggish. It's been fine today.

A good portion of the middle of my province has been on flood alert for the last week. Even down to where I am the mighty Fraser River has been on a rampage. Part of a boardwalk has been closed since last Friday because of water levels. People who live in Condos along this walkway were warned not to walk their pets there and if they did not to let them off their leashes.
