Today is glorious! It's 89 degrees and only 1:00! Yippee!

I went for a 15 minute walk (the heat from the road was making my feet uncomfortable) and enjoyed it. Can it stay like this all summer?? Please??

I forgot to mention that I lost four pounds in three weeks -- and I'm not really doing anything different. I've switched to Splenda Coke (which cuts 140 calories right there) and I'm not at home, so I have more walking to do. Sometimes little things do add up!

Vandal was definitely a bratling last night. I was having some ice cream and he snuck over and stole the top of the can away. I wasn't going to put kitty germs on a partially eaten pint of ice cream, so I finished it (I had already had some the night before). He must be starting to feel better. Plus he kept waking me up all night, yet again. He wants to sleep on my pillow, but I won't let him because my neck needs it. Of course Julia's pillow won't work -- there's no head on it.

On the headache front: I have a chiropractor's appointment for tomorrow after work. I suspect she's not going to want me to drive 6+ hours by myself to symposia, but I'll wait and find out tomorrow.

Well, gotta run.

Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

Well, we currently have a severe thunderstorm warning going on right now (second one tonight). They're not expecting much in the line of rain, just thunder, lightning strikes and wind. So far, we've clocked gusts of 77 mph. And because it's been dry for the last day or so, there's a lot of dust in the air. The clouds are more a dusty brown than gray. I foolishly left the windows open because I wanted to air out the apartment -- oops. Don't think I'll do that one again. I had to wipe the grit off the computer so I could use it.

Normally, I can see most of the way across the river and valley, but not this evening. If I can see five blocks, I'd be surprised.

I'd better wrap this up before we lose power.
