burn and bike
i'm working this weekend. considering i haven't worked during a weekend for over a month now, i consider it fair play. at first i was really excited about having two fridays for 4th of July week, but i was not counting on how much it would SUCK TO GO BACK TO WORK ON THURS AND FRI!!! :P oh well. i spent my fourth on the beach. i failed my 'reapply' roll for sunblock and ended up with a light burn on my shoulders and chest. but i did borrow my friend's giant umbrella, which was the why i only had a light burn from standing out in the water rather than full roastage from 4hrs of heat-of-the-day sunlight.
growing up, my parents (especially my dad, who HATES it when his fair-skinned daughters get burned) would not even let us go swimming until it was past 3 in the afternoon. and we still had to wear sunblock. but since a majority of visible aging is caused by collagen break down via UVA, i'm pretty ok with my sun-caution at this point. and now that i'm 30, i like to thank every poor liquor store attendant or bar bouncer who cards me.
chainsaw has been on a much stricter diet for the last month, and i think he's playing more and being a little more active. it's hard to tell if he's losing weight since i see him all the time. my dad thinks i should get some string and measure him around his middle, which is a good idea that i have not implemented. with independence day, there were of course an abnormal amount of fireworks. velcro noticed them and was entirely fascinated. and both cats, no surprise, are thrilled that i got a/c this year. i am entirely grateful for promising them last year, because the heat this year has been redonkulous. we had three days in a row with triple-digit temperatures. oy! the heat broke this afternoon, and the temp plummeted a good 25degrees into the low 80s. my new project is in a part of downtown that is difficult to get to via bike, and there are no shower facilities available. so i've been doing my p90x videos. tonight, i hopped on my bike and headed to my friend's for some grillin'. the weather was delicious!! between the lovely bike rides to and from, and the food, beer, and chattenins (yes, i made that word up)--i'm feeling quite content at the moment.
