On the beach (but without the nuclear fallout bit)
Happily, there is a crappy wireless network around. Happy because I am thus entirely uninterested in doing internet stuff (slow!) but I can still blog. I did get an important email today which I missed, being not at work. I love the two long weekend in a row thing.
It’s lovely. The water is a tad chilly (freezing, I’m sure it’s around 52[1]) and sadly, high tide is at around 1, which means that the beach is small all day, and also that it’s hard to swim, because there’s a long flat area. But I got in the water some, got much reading done, and napped.
Tomorrow we may or may not go to an Arts Festival, since it’s supposed to be 100 (!), and tomorrow night we may or may not see Into the Woods in the park, for the same reason why not. I am relaxed, refusing to think about any of the frustrations — or refusing to think *much* about them, anyhow, except one about my aunt and uncle. It’s working remarkably well, and I anticipate being in a fabulous mood on Sunday (when, sadly, I need to drive home — alone, yay — in my father’s midlife crisis car).
There was a 2 foot long snake in the garage this night. Eventually my sister got it out. I like snakes, but only when I know they’re not — you know — venomous.

I tend to use Fahrenheit for high temperatures, and Celsius for low ones. I’m not sure whether to attribute this to my personal history, or to a general desire to exaggerate discomfort. (If it were consistently the latter, then I ought to swich back to Fahrenheit below -40, but it doesn’t typically get that cold here.)
