One More Day
Vacation is very soon! I’m feeling very lethargic, wanting to go home asap. Hopefully I’ll be able to get my stuff done soon and head out early.

Happy Birthday, Tiffany!!!
Today is Tiff’s b-day … woohoo! She doesn’t want to be reminded of her age, so let’s say she’s at least 21. I hope she likes my gifts.
Getting Hot In Here
It’s easily 90 degrees outside; probably close to that inside too (no A/C). I can’t sleep in this heat; damn.
Feeling yucky
I’ve been trying to work from home today because I’m not feeling very good. Mostly just tired. I think I didn’t get enough sleep last night, and I’ve been up...
Fixit Man
