Didn't mean to have nothing but automatically-posted QotD entries in my journal for a week -- sorry about that. First there was the sixteen hour delay in getting home from Baitcon, caused by this: (sorry, no pictures from when it was still emitting large quantities of smoke, but I can scan the cliche "look how incredibly full the car was when we had to somehow get the spare out from under all our stuff" photos if anyone's actually interested) happening on a Sunday evening after all the tire stores had closed and while we were about five times as far from home as the instructions on the donut spare said to limit travel to. (We spent the night in Binghamton and got a new tire the next day.) Then there was my just being Pretty Darned Tired when I got home, not just from the long (and enjoyable despite getting rained on All Weekend Long) weekend, but also from the heat that arrived in Baltimore this week. After that, I've been running around trying to accomplish overdue stuff on my to-do list (I finally got my tent over to my mother's house yesterday to dry it, since I'd had to fold it up wet -- there's not enough room in my own back yard to set it up). And all of a sudden it's Friday again. ##blink## Wow, where'd the week go? Not sure how much I'll be posting for a bit -- I'm doing stuff in small doses then retreating to the one almost cool room in the house to rest. And I've actually got a work assignment to be behind on as well as all the other stuff.

Some weeks are like that, y'know? I just try not to have too many of 'em in a row. Looking forward to the cool front that's supposed to get this far East later today. The house will still be too hot, but maybe it'll be a bit more bearable. I think the heat's affecting the cat, too. I've seen her drink about six times as much as she's eaten lately.

I've got things to write about and thoughts to think-aloud; I'm just not sure when I'll get to them. But I'll try to at least post a kitty-update later today, after I brave the heat in the room with the scanner. (Forgot where I'd put the kitty photos when I scanned the tire. Found them since though.)
