What went before ONE: I have achieved and sited roses. The tiny one is the baby from the front garden. The yellow one is True Kindness, which is a hybrid tea rose, said to be hardy, disease resistant and heat tolerant.
If this works out, I’ll try an heirloom rose.
I have also registered for the watercolor class and conquered the rest of my errands, save the bank, which is a Phone Call.
What went before TWO: So! I have a couple more things to do to catch up with Real Life, but it looks like I’ll be going back to work on Friday. Yeah, Friday; and I’ll probably be working all weekend, too, because my boss is a witch, man.
Tomorrow will be a Hide from the Heat day, because 90F/32C, and sunny. Friday will be a little cooler and cloudy, and then Saturday it will be SIGnificantly cooler, with rain. So, it’s not like I’ll be missing a Great Weekend on anything.
I have taken the Executive Decision to put twinkle lights up in the living room. Those should arrive tomorrow, and will be something to do In-Between.
Rookie very responsibly made his annual vet appointment for July. I’m so proud of him. Trooper is calling for Happy Hour, but he still has a little while to wait.
. . . and that’s the evening report.
Everybody stay safe; I’ll see you tomorrow.

Thursday. Sunny and already warm enough by my reckoning. The weatherbeans are calling for Warmer, and a thunderstorm or two.
I had hoped that the Corning trip would serve as a buffer against meltdowns, as I came home from a con without Steve, and, indeed, emotions have taken their time catching up. Unfortunately, this morning it all kind of hit like a dump truck. Firefly just brought me her orange chew-and-chase thing, which is of course a Great Comfort.
Today, I’ll be doing normal quiet things — hanging away the laundry, making a pot of rice, doing one’s duty to the cats. I have two phone calls to make, and that will be my limit on Real World Business today.
There had been a call for me to post the text of my speech, so it can be compared to what I actually said. I’ll try to get that done — just a cut ‘n paste.
The coon cats have put their plans for the day into motion. What’re your plans?
