I’M MELTING! I’M MELTING!

It’s been over 90F/30C here for the past 2 days. Subsequently, I have not really been in the mood to do anything, much less write about how hot I am.

NOT MUCH TO SAY BUT I’M SAYING IT ANYWAY

The twitch in my eye and shoulder, you ask? Where did they come from? From not being able to post this entry on LJ for THREE FOUR FRICKIN’ DAYS. I had to keep changing the tenses with each passing day of aggravation and frustration until my head nearly exploded. Thanks to e11en for reminding me I could post via email. *twitch* *** It’s June. Anders and I had our 11-year wedding anniversary on Friday but we didn’t really celebrate it since I had a work event to go to. Instead we took the kids for sushi the day after. Of...
