I'm supposed to be arriving to work around now, but due to a major accident I'm sitting in my apt. I couldn't even turn off my road because everything is so backed up. Luckily my boss is super cool about it. The accident is supposed to be cleared by 9am but I know I'll have to give traffic time to get moving before I can actually leave.

For once I finally got up early and ran. The humidity was between 85-90%. OMG. I hate to wish away the summer, but ugh! And the real feel today is 114F. Awesome.

Way to go glitzyglow! The humidity is definitely a killer.

I'm tired because I didn't sleep so great. I'm not drinking coffee anymore, but yesterday I had this brilliant idea to get a ginormous coffee and I think it just kept me jittery all day and night. Boo.

After 6 days in the hspital and 8 days in physical therapy rehab, I am going home tomorrow!!!!  <)  I'm gonna miss people serving me and having dinner without having to wash the dishes, but the ability to sleep in my own bed will make it worth it!

glitzyglow, great job! That humidity alone would justify going back to sleep!

Have a date tonight if he does not cancel.
The last guy cancelled Friday night after I finally asked if we were still on. Dating is hard... At this age I expect some communication and planning.The last guy had asked me out several times and flaked once before. The next time it will be a solid nooo.
Maybe tonight will go well and I will not have to worry about it..

I didn't sleep well last night either. Today will mainly be packing and volunteering. Trying not to overpack, but I'm tagging along with a friend and her friends on a trip and I'm not exactly sure what we'll be doing so I'm packing all the things. Oops.

I'll join the others on the lack of sleep train! I have to go have a sleep study done and I'm not looking forward to it. I'm very concerned that I have sleep apnea and will have to have a CPAP machine. I've started drinking a lemon, apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper drink every morning and I have to say it has given me more energy. It could be a placebo effect but it's been a good way to start my day.

Looking forward to getting my hair done this afternoon. I've been feeling a little down about relationships lately. When I was away at the convention it was super exciting stuff happened, and I was a little bummed that I don't really have that person to celebrate and share with. My friends are awesome, but it's not totally the same.

abcdefu, that's great news!

I'm another one that's not sleeping. I keep coughing myself awake. This morning, it was an hour before my alarm and I couldn't get back to sleep. Grrr.

[doglove]

That's frustrating glynn.

I awoke at 3am to my dog pissing in my bathroom. I feel like it's clever he knows that's where you go (they also puke in front of my toilet). But gah. I hope this was a one off and he doesn't have a bladder infection. I couldn't get him to stop either. I clapped and said no but he just kept on. So I kinda stood there and watched. I wasn't with it to put him in the tub. And then he was super apologetic afterwards. poor baby.

I posted this on ML as well. I'm just so disgusted.

Some asshole from my hometown sent a rasict letter to the only black volunteer fireman there and told him to get out, nobody wants him there, called him the n-word twice, and said that if he didn't resign by the end of the week that he will regret it. Asshole knows where he lives because he physically took it to the guy's house and put it in his mailbox. Today, his house was set on fire. He has a family. Fortunately nobody was home at the time and they are safe. For now. This makes me sick. The FBI is involved. I hope they catch the SOB and he is charged with a hate crime. Disgusting.

The good news is the amount of support the community is giving him. So many comments thanking him for volunteering and that so many have his back. He belongs to the same firehall as my dad and they changed their digital sign to show support for him. I don't know yet how sever the fire is/was but I'm sure there will be many donations.

PDQ the link as I will delete since it's linked to my location.

ETA: just saw another article stating he lost his house to the fire. Fuck!

ETA2: they lost everything, including 2 cats. I texted my dad to see what the firehall was doing as far as donations and he's going to check with the president of the hall and get back to me. This is just so awful.

sweetchix, my small, racist hometown had a black car salesman move in about 35-40 yrs ago. A letter was sent to him that he would be better off leaving and he stayed maybe 6 months or less and was essentially ostracized until he left town. It's 2016, let's DO BETTER, PEOPLE.

It's disgusting someone would hate on someone so much to destroy damn near all their physical property just because of the color of their skin. I do not understand racism.

[doglove]

WTAF sweetchix??

[dreamcrisp1]

Omg sweetchix, that's horrifying. Wtf.

[jigsy]

sweetchix, the only good thing to come out of that shitty letter is that is will provide the FBI with some evidence as to who did it, and shows it was completely racially motivated so he can be charged with a hate crime. That is disgusting, but its also great to hear how much support the community is giving him.

@32flavors,I love all the dive stuff! It looks so exciting. I've always wanted to scuba, but my number one fear is also drowning, so those two battle it out in my head. So far, fear has won, lol.

I am excited because I have almost everything booked for my trip to Scotland/London/Paris. I am annoyed that they released the book for the Harry Potter play, because I am spending a ton of money to be able to see it, and I really don't want spoilers...but some people are assholes. One co-worker was teasing that she was going to tell me the end, and I told that if she did, I would literally stop talking to her. I hate it. It is stressing me out. lol.

[sweetchix]

@32flavors, what kind of sharks are those? I would love to do that! My cousin went to S Africa last year and got to cage dive with great whites. I was so jealous.
