Happy World Chocolate Day

TWIT and I would like to wish everyone a very happy World Chocolate Day! People all over the world will be celebrating by eating and/or drinking something chocolate.  Like we need an excuse to eat or drink chocolate.  But I digress.  You know about this awesome holiday early enough so you should have plenty of time to head to the store if (heaven forbid) you don't have anything chocolate in your home. 

Something You Dont See Every Day

On the way to work this morning, on the side of the Greenbelt Highway I saw an interesting sight.  Every hundred yards or so was a portion of a long, black, curly wig.  The portions on the side of the road went on for about a half a mile.  I can only imagine. 

Ohio Valley Weather Update

According to my very trustworthy weather app, Dark Sky, when I left work today the temp was 98, with a "feels like" temp of 108 when you add in the humidity.  I believe it. 

My Sweet Mother, who is always cold, even said, and I quote "It's hot as hell today."  I couldn't agree more, Mom.  

Freedom From Work Was Awesome

It was an awesome Fourth of July here at The Compound.  The only work we did collectively was feed and water the Girls and Willie.  Other than that, we ate, drank, and had a great day of doing nothing.  

I'm just glad that I only have to work two more days and then can be off for two days.  Nuff said. 

Let Freedom Ring

I only worked two days last week, and so far have worked two days, but this week has been a busy, long week to me.  So I'm thankful for a day off tomorrow.  Tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest day of the year so far, with an expected high of 97.  Combine that with the high humidity, and it will feel like it's 187 degrees, or something like that.  But that doesn't bother me.  I plan to stay inside in the nice cool a/c and do nothing.  

Not So Bad Re-Entry

Today was re-entry back at work after my vacation, and I've got to say it wasn't all that bad.  There was no work that needed to be caught up, and other than having to cover for a coworker that is off today and tomorrow, it wasn't a bad day at all.  And for that, I was thankful. 

Ugh

I've been  on vacation since Tuesday at 4:30, and the Monday Dread has already hit.  And it's hit hard. There's not enough tequila to help.
