66 right now, projected high 98 (this is noticeably lower than the last few days, but still pretty awful). Mega-blurf. At least I have a 3-day weekend, but do need to spend a fair amount of it on mining out the mini-cave. ---

So Bobbio has completed his annual trip around the sun the same week as swampy. Hmmm…I wonder if they could have been switched at birth, which would make Vunderbob swampbear and swam9bear Vunderbob which would…\*Head Asplode" Well, at least it is Firday. Another week survived (of course, day’s still early). ---

I keep getting up several hours later than I intend to. I should stop this. I should stop using the word “should” and I should actually get to doing things instead of saying “I should do this, I should do that.” I’m should-ing myself in the foot. ---

_Does a happy dance_ Just because. **Emily** , I suggest shoulding yourself on the back, that’s better at getting people moving. You could also consider shoulding your ass off the chair. ---

Errands have been run and I’ve finally finished my morning surfing. It’s time to scald and peel peaches. Incidentally, is there a stupider product than fat free half-and-half? Isn’t the point of the cream half the fat content to make it creamy? Stoopit. Just stoopit. ---

Today so far has been nothing but annoyances. I have to call carefirst to unlock my account so I can pay my bill. I hate them, the insurance part is good, but the website and customer service suck snot through a straw. Maybe I just need a nap or something. ---

Peaches are done! I’ve got three 1# bags in the freezer and 2# in a bowl in the fridge for the pie. I’m waiting for the rolled-up crust to thaw so I can bake the pie. I think I need to clean out the fridge - I came across a container of fuzzy peaches in the back - fuzzy with mold. ick. Dishwasher has been emptied and reloading has begun. I’m going to take a bit of a break before getting back in there. ---

grrrrr I finally get through, I get a temp password, log in and have to enter a new password right away now I am locked out again and to make it worse the guy I was talking to couldn’t stop laughing at my sign on. Like I told him, nobody is likely to guess it.
