Thursday

Well clearly Mother Nature reads my weblog, because no sooner had I started complaining about the weather than the temperature dropped about twenty degrees and the humidity just went away. It was almost what I’d call chilly this morning, and this evening may be the first time in the weeks since my old air conditioner broke and was replaced that I haven’t had it on in my room. I wouldn’t expect it to last — temperatures are predicted to reach into the mid-80s again over the weekend — but it was kind of nice walking to work and thinking, maybe I need a jacket, instead of, maybe I need a towel or cold shower.

Things are going reasonably well at work at the moment, though I am nonetheless indescribably glad that tomorrow is Friday.

At least tomorrow’s Thursday

The week continues on a fairly even but uninteresting keel. I had a launch meeting today for one of my books, which I recently put into production, and that went reasonably well.

Beyond that, there isn’t much of anything to report, and I’m writing this in part just to break up the blog a little bit between songs of the day.

I am a little sick of the weather. I’m not quite ready for fall, not the way I think I felt last year, but I am thoroughly sick of the humidity.
