Weekend Review {08/19}

FRIDAY

Friday was work.  My hair lady moved to a salon in BFE, so I had to spend half my life driving there to get my hairs done.  Maybe some of that was an exaggeration, but Waze said it would take 40 mins to get there from the office, which is like half my life, soooo.  My hair actually looked pretty good, to the point that she said, before she started, that it didn't really need to be colored, but we both knew my roots were gonna start being super obvious and my opportunities to get my hairs did were about to drastically reduce once school starts aaaannnnndddd we had an event that night sooo fancy hairs would be nice.

Said event was an Aquarium After Hours event, featuring "Beer From Here" aka local breweries and some noms.  I'd say the beer and food was free, except it wasn't since we had to pay for tickets to go.  But, it was worth it.

Even I had some tastings.

Asshole reef killers.

Teh German was "eaten" by a lego shark!

After beer drinking was finished, we had agreed to stop by Dairy Queen on the way home for dessert and we pulled into the drive through at 10:07 and the witchest bitch mumbled, "We're closed" no less than 3 times, which was so many because we had to keep asking her what she said and she's mumble the same way and we wouldn't understand again.  I hate people like this.

We went home, dejected and dessert-less.  Teh German went over for smoking time and I stayed home and went to bed.  It was not a sad decision for me.  I slept like a motherfuckin champ with both earplugs in and Teh German didn't even rouse me when he came home and came to bed.

SATURDAY

I had to pee at during-the-week-wake-up-time, which was annoying, so I peed and fed the beasts so Meri wouldn't wake me again in an hour for breakfast, and then went back to bed.  Teh German and I woke up around 9 and decided on a plan of action: breakfast, walk the dogs, adult/house things.

I made eggs and toast for breakfast and then we walked the beasts in the drizzle turned full-on rain.  When we got home, everyone got toweled off, 2-Leggers changed into dry clothes, bully sticks were distributed, then home improvements/chores were started.  It rained all day, so it was a perfect get-shit-done inside day.

Curly, wet Monkey-Doodle

I love when he closes his eyes because my scritches feel so good.
#WellTrainedMom

When sorting the laundry is no longer a thing.
#SorryNotSorry

After getting the laundry started, I headed downstairs to try to install a pot lid organizer in the cabinet.  I posted my debacle on Snapchat and then didn't save it before it expired, oh well.  I installed the organizer, almost screwed a screw through the front of the cabinet door because the screws were too long.  I finally managed to get the fucking holder attached to the cabinet door with lids in it.. annnddd thhheeennn the fucking cabinet door wouldn't close because we have pull out shelves in the cabinets.  There was no way to make it work so I gave it up and took it down and vowed to return the damn thing to Amazon and then just went back to my ghetto pot lid organization with command hooks.

I looked at the pantry door shelving to start installing it and the instructional images showed the use of a level and I told Teh German that was probably a better job for him..

Hello sea urchin!
This thingy is better than Waldo.
It's always moving around the tank.

  

For some reason I had to go into the dog cabinet and while I was there, I just started organizing it... oops.  I purged so much stuff I haven't used in a few years and cleaned up the stuff I have in there.  Since I was there, I also pulled out new brushes and (air) filters for Roomy and the Shark.  I'm excited for a trip to Dollar Tree to obtain more of the plastic basket/organizer things.  I love that their plastic containers are fun AND only cost $1.

All the while, Teh German installed the new door handle.  I think it was easier than we both expected.

Post-organization dog closet.
Please also see: Next time we're invited to a cookout, we're bringing napkins...

After Teh German got the door handle installed, he installed my over-the-door pantry shelves.  I didn't realize there was an over the door option.. orrrrr I could have done that myself.  Oh well.  I did end up having Teh German screen the shelves to the door since they were floppy and I didn't like it that way.  We agreed it was much better screwed in.

Pre-pantry clean out/organization.
Please note the expired shit on the island.. Ugh.

After lunch and adulting was complete, Teh German asked if I wanted to watch a movie and I agreed.  We agreed on Captain Marvel...

YOU GUYS.
I LOVED IT.
LURVED IT.

I was legitimately disappointed that none of my friends forced me to sit down and watch the movie when it was released.

I loved it so much that I looked up the movie trivia and facts and read at least half of them aloud to Teh German.  I loved it so much that I finally, finally, had a desire to watch ALL the Marvel Avenger movies.. also, it really all started because Teh German asked me if I wanted to watch End Game and I said I couldn't until I watched the movies before that, which I didn't really have an interest in, which meant that Teh German would watch End Game on his own at a later time....

I later explained to Teh German that many of my ex's have tried to get me into the Marvel comic movies and I was just never really interested.  I tolerated watching the movies for others, but didn't particularly enjoy them.  That he was getting to experience a turn of events that many people who know me tried to make happen/wanted to happen.  I don't think he appreciates it as much as he should, but he did acknowledge that it was a surprise.

And so.. we started watching the Avengers movies, from the beginning.  At first, chronologically, with Captain America, but I was educated that movie release order was better, so we switched lists.  Between movies, we had frozen pizza for dinner, and then it was back to the screen for moar until bedtime.

Meri doesn't seem to mind all our screen time.
<3 my Doodle snuggles.

SUNDAY

Sunday, I woke up Teh German at whatever time Meri woke me up and told him he was on duty.  He's not had to deal with the dogs on the weekend for a bit, sooo he didn't argue.  I expected him to come back to bed, but he didn't, which threw me off.  I couldn't go back to sleep, so I had some screen time, then I got up after 0730 and showered and got dressed. 

Teh German and I had agreed we'd go to brunch on Sunday, so when I went downstairs, Teh German knew that it was his time to get ready.  He had made coffee and he poured it in our take away mugs then headed upstairs to get himself ready.  While he was showering, I walked the dogs.  When we got back, I started doing my Duolingo lessons.  This is significant because I spent a LOT of time doing lessons on Sunday just so I could compete with the group I was in to get #1 and so our group could advance to the next level since we were only 100ish pts away... and because I apparently have too much free time on my hands.

Usually, I do my 3 lessons per day and that's enough.  When I have people to compete with, I'll do 10+ lessons per day to be #1.  Competitive much?  Me?  Nahhhhhhhhh.

Fat Stripe and her anemone.

After brunch and grocery shopping, I put away the groceries and started spaghetti sauce in the crockpot.  Teh German mowed the yard jungle and tried to fix the door issue with the smart lock not locking via Alexa because of the way the lock goes in.. idk, there was frustrated yells, so Meri and I snuggled on the couch while that issue was being handled.

"NOT begging, but whoring for pettins" by Meri.

After Teh German gave up on the door situation (thankfully, because the yells were giving Meri and I anxiety), we got back on our Avengers marathon.  We took a break after The Hulk to eat dinner, spaghetti and meatballs.

After dinner, it was Iron Man 2 and doggy dinner beggins.  Please see photo for Meri's whore-ness.  Pax was at me begging for dinner, so I gave him scritches and Meri was jealous, so she came and literally sat her ass on my arm so I'd pet her too.  It's good she's cute.

I did eventually feed these starving beasts and then we started the movie.  I'm also not minding all the Meri snuggles that watching TV earns me.  <3

After Iron Man 2 ended, Teh German looked over at the tank and the anemone was missing!  He'd released and blown back to where he originally settled in the tank.  It was quite alarming and SUPER stressful for Teh German.  Thankfully, this time, Teh German's normal assholery was more controlled.  He was still a bit mean because he was stressed and frustrated, but a change from last week, so I mean.. progress?

We agreed that he would relocate the anemone to another corner.  There was a crisis because the pumps were creating a current that was too strong, and once those were turned off, there was less chaos.  Teh German and I were both scouring the internet to see what to do about the anemone and everything we read on the internet conflicts.  There's not even a general trend with what to do regarding anemones.  Ugh.  This only further frustrates Teh German.  We did agree to feed the anemone since we now have 18" tongs.  You guys, these tongs are fucking ridiculous and awesome.

I pulled a frozen shrimp from the freezer and let it thaw while we watched an episode of The Americans.  After the episode ended, Teh German cut up the shrimp and gave it to the anemone.  I made some adjustments to get the shrimp into the anemone's mouth and made sure that Fat Stripe didn't harass the anemone while it was taking in the shrimp.  It was kinda cool and weird at the same time.  Teh German and I both watched the anemone completely absorb the shrimp piece and then we did bedtime chores and went to bed.

______________________________________________

That anemone is going to be the death of me.  Lawd.  Teh German gets so stressed out about it.  I'm sure it's similar to my anxiety about Meri and Pax in certain situations.  I don't want the anemone to die, but shit, it's not THAT important to me.  There's more anemones in the sea... LOOOOOOL

This is the last full week of no school.
Yes, we can cry together about it.
Oh, I'm the only one crying?  That's fine too.

I did get to talk to Teh Running Bestie this morning on my way into work, which didn't hurt my heart, so the week has started off pretty good.

Nothing on the calendar this week, but there are goals:
-Drop off donations, Roux's Humom will be helping with this!  YAY!  This will make space in Willow for the beasts... becauseeeeeee...
-Get the dog's toes (nails) cut off, is the other goal for this week.


If you or yours went back to school recently, good luck, may the force be with you, thoughts and prayers, or whatever, lol.

Please know that there will 100% be a back to school photo taken this year, as it will be the LAST first day of school for me, unless someone gives me a lobotomy or a LOT of money to get a Masters degree.

Weekend Review {10/15}

FRIDAY

After class on Friday, I had to come directly home to wait on the HVAC tech.  I didn't really have any tasking other than a meeting, so it was me and paperclips, which I finally won.

The technician discovered a hole in one of the drain pans and a saggy pipe, thus causing the problem.  Of course, a replacement has to be ordered and it will take 2 people to do the install.  Fantastic. 

At 4, Meri had an appointment at the vet to get a bordatella shot so she can go to the groomer's this Friday.  I'm very crunchy mom when it comes to vaccinating my dogs and not because I don't believe that vaccines work, I believe in NOT OVER-VACCINATING.  The reality is, my dogs are on a limited socializing schedule and I know which dogs we are likely to come in contact with and what their owners allow/where they let their dogs go.  In general, my dogs only get the rabies vaccine.  But, since I've shelved my clippers, Meri now gets to go to a groomer for getting her hairs did and they require/prefer the bordatella vaccine, so I got it.  Pax didn't get one. 

This decision happened after I'd vaccinated Phil for years against Lyme Disease, only to discover that the variety of Lyme Disease in SoMD wasn't even covered by the vaccination.  I was wasting money and pumping chemicals into him that were pointless.

New vet rule:
If they take your dog back for anything, take THAT opportunity to pay.  This way you're not standing at the desk with a dog tugging on your arm while you're trying to pay.  Real life though, why didn't the receptionist offer to do that as soon as they took Meri back?  Ugh.

After the vet, we headed home.  I finished up my paperclips game while waiting on Teh German to come home.  Teh German has been overly stressed about the HVAC situation and the green card stuff, so I made a point to have some us time where he didn't have to make decisions.  I told him that we were riding out to dinner before he left work, but that was it.

When he came home, he asked where we were going and I suggested Locals Sushi in Mount Pleasant and he was down with that.  After his shower and feeding the beasts, we headed out.

Spring rolls = veggies!

hibachi taco.
it's as weird and delightful as it sounds.

After dinner, I wanted something sweet, so I told Teh German we were going to Krispy Kreme.  The hot n fresh sign was on and I actually ate my straight from the line original doughnut standing in line while waiting to pay.  It was sooooooo delicious and melty in my mouth.  Worth every single calorie that I'd burned at the gym that morning.

After KK, we headed home.  We watched an episode of Shameless, then it was bedtime.

SATURDAY

Saturday morning brought delightful temps of 65°F.  It's only temporary since it's supposed to be in the high 80s this week, but fuck if I was going to pass up an opportunity to wear long sleeves (which I later regretted because it was 80° outside).

Teh German and I skyped with his mom after breakfast, then I downloaded paperclips on my phone and sat outside to finish my coffee and played the game.  Spoiler alert: the game is not as good on a mobile device.  Sitting outside meant snuggles with my Monkey and lovins from my Moose.

Teh PT Wife and I had agreed to stalk the Holy City Waffles food truck, but we were unable to find them.  We ended up grabbing pizza at Park Pizza then day drinking at DIG in the Park, then continuing the party at Sesame so I could have a brownie for lunch dessert.

A mexi-breakfast type of pizza.

day drannnkkiiinnn

it was a delicious brownie.

I tried this hibiscus tea beer thing that was actually delicious although it didn't really go well with my brownie so I didn't order one.

Teh PT Wife and I also discovered a new cigar shop for the Husbands AND we had growlers filled for them before we came home.  #BestWivesEver

Teh German had spent his day on an "island hopping" motorcycle ride.  When he came home, he chilled for a bit then showered, then we headed over to Teh PT house for hangouts.

Could we be more awkward?
Likely.

Despite the fact that it was only 9pm, we were all super tired, and we called it a night.

SUNDAY

Sunday, I realized I only needed to go the regular grocery store, so Teh German and I headed to Walmart after skyping with Papa G.  I was hoping to get there early enough to avoid the crowds, but 11am on a Sunday is not early enough.  #LessonLearned

When we got home, I worked on prepping for dinner (making homemade red sauce for lasagna) and Teh German set about the task of building our new box spring.  I did take a break to do some laundry.  Then spent several hours doing homework.

Me: Do NOT jump on my clean laundry.
Pax and Meri: ..................?
Assholes.

After Teh German got the box spring assembled, he required assistance to pull off the mattress and take out the old box spring and put the new one in.  We have a Tempurpedic mattress, so this is an acceptable helping situation.  That fucking mattress is a beast.  After having moved it on my own multiple times, I can attest to such.

And like normal, things escalated quickly and we ended up rearranging the bedroom.  We'd been talking about it for a while, but hadn't ever done anything but talk about it.  We finally did it.  Not sure if I really like it or not, there's a lot of dead space on Teh German's side of the room, but maybe it will grow on me.  There are limited options of places to put our huge ass bed, and Teh German says he likes our bedroom set (even though it's beat to shit from being moved no less than 4 times and life), which means no excuse for me to buy a new bedroom set.  Womp, womp.

These bitches have enjoyed having the guest room open for their shenanigans and as an escape lair when Teh German and I are creating chaos in the bedroom (that is not an innuendo).

New setup.
The photos on the wall will need to be relocated.

After rearranging, it was time for me to do more homework.  After finishing up a batch of German homework, I started on the lasagna.

It is the first time I've used ricotta cheese and it came out perfectly.  There was no slidey mess all over the pan when a piece was removed and it held it's form so well!  Good job, self!

After dinner, we watched Talladega Nights since Teh German had never seen it, and he'd watched the Talladega (the suggested spelling correction for Talladega is Gallbladder, thanks Google) race while we were rearranging the bedroom.  While we were watching the movie, I chatted with Sprink about our impending visit to CO.  We'll be spending our holiday at the Needle Nose Nirvana with some awesome 2-leggers and 13!!!! 4-leggers.  I CANNOT WAIT.  Also there will be snow and snowboarding and fuzzy socks and books and distilleries and breweries and SNOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!! 

After the movie, I realized I had forgotten some homework, I did it quick like, then it was bedtime.
I didn't even stub my toes once on the newly arranged furniture. 

______________________________________________

This week seems like it's supposed to be more busy than the calendar indicates, which makes me nervous.  I have a foot doc appointment this afternoon for my gimp foot since it was hurting again after I ran this morning, after giving it a week of rest and TLC and rolling.  Ugh.

I scheduled a couples massage for our anniversary like the #BestWifeEver than I am.  I also will be putting pressure on Teh German to make a decision on if he wants a smart watch or not since that is what we agreed to get each other as an anniversary present this year.

I'll also be:
-working with the HVAC company to deal with the impending repairs.
-planning our CO trip
-counting down the days till I get to see Teh Running Bestie (18!)
-hoping that someone cancels their FIG reservation so Teh German and I can have our own table for our anniversary dinner.
-doing homework
-working
-setting up some financial planning stuff for the new financial advisor I have acquired (yyyyaaassss)
-praying for weather than is consistently cooler than 70°F


It might be "fall" but it still feels like Charleston outside to me.  This makes me stabby and extra disgruntled.

Weekend Review {10/08}

FRIDAY

Friday was a loooooooooong day.  Gym, then school, then teleworking from school, then evening make up classes because Hurricane Florence.  Since Teh Sister had been talking about them, I couldn't get them off my mind, so I went to Panera and picked up a pink ribbon bagel.  It was not as delicious as I remember them being when I was in college.  Oh well.

We had to take 2 quizzes in my 0900 computer science class, then a test in my German class.  I haven't been to the Vet Center on campus much this semester since I go straight to work after class ends, so it was nice to go sit and hang out and chat with some Citadel vet friends.  My 3:00 class consisted of another test, and my 4:30 class was really just a torture session where I worked on a project that I couldn't get to work properly, but the instructor had strongly suggested we work in teams on it, so I used someone else's results and answered the questions.  The class felt like it was lasting all my life and I was relieved when I drove off campus.

Teh German and I had agreed to meet for dinner at Lewis Barbecue since I was already so close to downtown.  I arrived before Teh German, so I stood outside my car and read my ebook until he arrived.

Saw this #DateNight happening on my way to Lewis.
Couples that moped together, aren't cool together.

Noooommmm

We were enjoying dinner until a group of people sat at "their" table nearby and requested the fans be turned on.  There was no need for the fans to be turned on, the bugs weren't bad and the flies went away after a while.  Nonetheless, their request was acquiesced and then all my hair wispies were all in my face while I was trying to finish my sandwich and I was so fucking angry I wanted to stab the douchey bro who seemed to be the leader of the group in the leg.  We didn't sit around after we finished our food because my hair was still blowing in my face and I was so fucking angry.  It was unfortunate since we'd been having such a good time until that point.

We went straight home after dinner.  We agreed on watching Shameless to pass the evening. 

Pax gave me a finger dent while I was trying to get the toy from his mouth.
#BoyMomWoes

SATURDAY

Saturday I got up with the beasts so I could get a start on accomplishing my weekend homework.  When my mouse started acting funky, I decided to change out the batteries.  That was a disaster that pissed me off so badly that I ended up organizing the battery cabinet and another drawer where I was hoarding some battery things.  Teh German eventually ended up getting the AAA batteries open and even he struggled.

I was done with ALL my homework by 12:30 and I had NO idea what to do with myself after that.  We had lunch and Teh German was trying to troubleshoot the security camera wifi dongle thing and then I tried (not having any idea what I was doing) and neither of us were successful and I, again, suggested he call the camera help people and his stubborn ass still insists that "I've fixed it before!" so fine, his problem.  Fucking security cameras.

Instead of dealing with crabby ass, I laid on the couch and read some for a bit and then decided on a nap.  When I woke up, Teh German was here:

There was a video playing, but he was definitely falling asleep.

I took the opportunity to peruse Groupon to find something to do.  When I rolled over to ask Teh German if he wanted to do a ghost tour, he said that his Biker Gang Friends had asked if we wanted to meet them at Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the UFC fight.  I was not interested in watching the UFC fight, nor am I ever interested, but I was interested in dinner.  So we agreed to meet them at BWW at 7:30.

Since I had some time before hand and Teh Sister had notified me that Cartwheel had 40% off our favorite chapstick, I took the opportunity to go to Target.

Nothing screams "I hate good gas mileage" and "fuck you" to the people behind you on the road quite like this.
I almost had a heart attack when I saw that mattress fly up.

Now if only they would combine these products.  My life would be complete.

Christmas toys for the beasts!

I made it to BWW right at 7:30 and not a single person that was supposed to be there was.  Immediately, I was annoyed.  Add to that, BWW was doing a thing where if you were there to watch the fight it was $100 for a table for 6, which included 50 wings and 2 appetizers.  I managed to get a table outside on the patio and slowly, everyone else showed up.  I don't know why I bothered to be on time, it's very rare that anyone in the group is actually on time (besides Teh German and I). 

Eventually, it was decided that we'd all go to our house and pick up frozen pizzas and beer on the way.  This was a good idea in theory.  Except instead of following ME, they followed Teh German.  There was some drama and after a failed attempted, we all ended up at Publix.  Once beer and pizza were acquired, and cupcakes for me, we headed home.  Teh German had went straight home to get the UFC ticket set up and turned on.

When I got home around 9, I was hangry and I'd be frustrated since 7:30 and I was over it.  Even after saying I wasn't doing it, I still ended up cooking everyone's pizzas, which only served to piss me off more, even after I'd eaten a cupcake and 2 pieces of pizza, yes, in that order. 

I finally went and sat down on the couch with the other lady that was with the group... at which point all the dudes went outside..  So we were the least interested in watching the fight and we were the only ones inside semi-watching the TV while chatting to keep ourselves awake.  The guys were outside for over an hour before they finally came in around midnight to watch the actual main event fight.

It was after 0130 when we finally crawled in the bed.

SUNDAY

I had planned to get some miles in on Sunday, but I woke up at 0930 and misread my watch and thought it said 1030 and almost had a heart attack since that's when we were supposed to leave for brunch.  I knew I didn't have time to get in significant mileage like I wanted and I was (and still am) dealing with the BJB monster from last week, so it just wasn't in the books.  Instead, I snuggled with Meri and Teh German and then we finally got up and got ready and met Teh Dental Hygienist, Teh AF Maintainer, and his family at Rutledge Cab Company for brunch.  I was torn between the poutine and the huevos rancheros, and, expectedly, I went with the huevos rancheros.  The option of extra cilantro sold me.  I lurve me some cilantro.  No pics because I was fucking starving, and it looked exactly the same as it did almost a year ago for my bachelorette weekend brunch.

After brunch, we stopped at Sam's, then we went home.  It was quite people-y in public, so it was for the best.  When we got home, we were bored and ended up watching Warcraft.  I was so disappointed in that movie.  So much could have been done with that and it was so limited and lacking.  And I also couldn't restrain myself sometimes to tell Teh German about how things weren't accurate or were accurate. 

We ate leftovers for dinner because there was so much pizza left over from the night before (oops) and there was still chicken and gnocchi soup.  After dinner, we watched Shameless until it was bedtime.  I know, we were killing it.

______________________________________________

My BJB and I are not fighting as much, but it's still giving me some problems.  Nonetheless, I got out this morning and got in 5 miles (4.5 on my own and .5 jogging with OMG YAY (Meri) and UGH PLS NO (Pax)).  I, unfortunately, think I have done something to mess up my left foot and I'm not sure what it is.  The foot hurts really bad when I walk and do certain movements, but doesn't hurt as much when I'm running.  It also cramps randomly.  Of course, less than 1 month before the first of four half marathons my body starts to act a fool.  I'm wondering if it may have been caused by the BJB since when the BJB is angry, it affects my stride/gait, thus causing me to injure myself.  Teh Running Bestie has put me on no-running rest until Thurs.  She didn't say I couldn't go to 9 Rounds though... >:D (do people still make the devil emoji like that? lol)

Teh German called the HVAC company this morning and on the first talk they offered to pay 50% of the repairs since it's not 100% who is a fault for the mess up (us for installing drain pipe extensions (the extensions are completely clean of debris, so I strongly doubt we're at fault) or them for their last completed work).  That's not ideal for us, but it IS better than nothing. 

I earned an 98 on my German test, even with stupid errors, and I have a 104 average in the class.  100's on both CS quizzes from Friday (although prob a 70 on today's quiz...) and I'll find out tomorrow how I did on my circuits test.

I'm finally in my school routine/groove and that makes life way easier.  Since it is around midterms time, last week was pretty hellish since there were multiple tests/projects within a week of each other.  My online class continues to be stupid, but it's easy, so I'm not going to look that gift horse in the mouth.  We do not get a fall break at the Citadel, but we do get a week off for Thanksgiving, so, also not complaining about that.  The downside to getting into my routine is that Leadership Day will disrupt that, then we're off for election day (GO FUCKING VOTE, GENTLE READERS), then thanksgiving break for a week, then 2 weeks of school and the semester is over (praise be to Allah).  I will have officially made it HALFWAY at the end of this semester.

I'm starting to consider our Thanksgiving plans.  I'll be in Tulsa the weekend before with Teh Running Bestie and Matilda and I considered a pit stop in El Paso to visit Teh Sister, but I can't change my plane ticket, which is a real bummer, so I'm not really sure what I'll do. 

We're still waiting on Teh German green card stuff, so most of our travel plans are on hold.  This isn't just irritating Papa G anymore, but also me.  I'm ready to get on with my life.  Make plans.  I NEEDS some travel to look forward to.  We were discussing diving in Mexico at brunch on Sunday and I'm all, YASS PLEASE!  Siiiiigh, fucking government with the hurry up and wait for always.

In case anyone was wondering, it's still hot AF in Charleston and fall is no where to be found.  We're still in Charleston Summer.  There is a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico that is probably going to slam into FL and while I hope the destruction is minimal, I hope for 1- RAIN, that sweet sweet sky water, 2- post-hurricane hoodie weather (this is usually what happens).  I'm seriously tired of elbow sweat and literal dripping sweat from my face when I run in the mornings.

PS.  I moved my massage from Friday to Tuesday and this is probably the best life choice I've made all month.
