Stay inside, get agitated, can't concentrate. Leave the house, melt, come back in, can't concentrate. Repeat as necessary?

Just tried to take a pic of a flower and took a selfie instead.

So... turns out it was a slippery slope after all. I'm going to marry this fan. Currently 98° on track to 101°.

Today's agenda: 1. Optimize the house for keeping it as cool as possible. 2. Eating my feelings.

That's a lot of plastic.

Hope this windchill lasts throughout the day!

I almost commented on a Nextdoor post. phew.

Hey, #PDX... Try not to make any big decisions over the next 5-10 days.

Is there a different paper we can anoint as being of record?

It's that time of year when I hope for some of the people in my neighborhood to end up in the ER. Or set their own yard on fire and not mine. It's hot and dry here, but, sure, set off fireworks.

Sometimes I write about #ux stuff... tldr: I have a request because almost every UX portfolio I've seen is too much: Make it easier for the next hiring manager who looks at your portfolio to be interested in what you're capable of doing. Don't bury the lede. uxmatto.com/writing/ux-p...

Why does so much hold music sound like it was recorded onto a tape answering machine, played back, and recorded onto another tape answering machine, then played over the phone like it's a 1960s long distance call? Also it's way louder then the recorded messages that play in between music.

I'm "tabling" at Bolt Fabric for Last Thursday on NE Alberta this week. Will have my books for sale. Claire works at Bolt and they invited me to join them. My first foray into public time with selling the things I've been working on for the past few years. Eep. #writerSky #writingCommunity #pdx
