...when the air's cool enough to think. Mid-80s again today. Twice. In April. In western Oregon. This is so intensely wrong it doesn't bear thinking on. It's been miserable. My workplace has A/C. So does my car. Our house does not. We've got the windows thrown open and the fan going, and even so I had to soak my feet in cold water to get myself out of the initial heat-shock before we got the house temperature under control.
Not that it isn't pretty, for it is. It only isn't comfortable. They got the plants - the last of them, I think - into the beds at work today. They look horribly unfinished, being small and young, and replacing the thick rows of heady flowers that came before. It's just that they're little still, but it is sorta raw.
It's a weird world we live in, with disposable plants and all that, too.
Returned Alta to the library. Sorry to see it go, but I will own it when it comes to paperback, and there are a lot of people on the list for it.
It is supposed to be sunny and warm - not hot; 70s - all weekend. I would prefer this to today's weather, but it is still a bit strange to have so much weather so warm at this time of year.
Work today was crazy, but mostly in the things-happening way. Some of it frustrating, but most of it just overwhelming, which is much better than actually frustrating. Got some documentation I needed to get done, done. I have eight working days to the training, so I really must finish up the preparation for that. Then I need to do four design docs. Those are going to be fun. Those are my reward - maybe not in my boss's eyes (to him they're just another useful task) - but in my eyes they sure are.
I'm sorta tired. I am probably going to go to bed soon. And still a bit headachy, but really, I felt a lot worse earlier. At least this place is cooling down.
