we went running yesterday morning and it wasn’t so hot because we ran on the chatham trail and we went (relatively) early in the morning. but later we were driving in the car when it was almost a hundred outside and first we spotted a (very thin) woman jogging down the street wearing sweatpants. is she nutty about weight loss, was she trying to sweat her legs completely away?

and then we saw another jogger, this time a guy wearing a life preserver. why was he wearing a life preserver? at first we thought maybe it was just an orange safety vest so drivers would see him but as we got closer we realized it was a life preserver.

maybe the upcoming holiday is making people a little crazy. or maybe it’s the heat.

according to weather.com, it’s 93 outside right now but feels like 98. but our thermometer has reached a hundred again.

it was, indeed, hot at muni last night but the play was SO GOOD. go see it, but go on wednesday night because i think it’s going to be pretty cool then. relatively cool.

dad says he’s not going anywhere unless there’s a change in weather and a storm rolls in, with a blizzard.

amy and jim moved their two giant fish tanks from our house today. i’ve been feeding the fish for the past couple of weeks and was proud of myself that i hadn’t killed them. i was about to feed them when amy was here and she said “oh, you feed those fish with this food.” because one tank is TROPICAL fish and the other tank is…uh…plain? domestic? regualr fish. anyway, there were two fish food containers but i figured she just had two because she’s amy and she has lots of everything. but when i actually read the jars, one said TROPICAL FISH FOOD and the other said…uh…i can’t remember…plain fish food. regular fish food.

anyway, they were clearly COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and so it’s actually a miracle that i didn’t kill the fish. because one day i’d use one of the fish foods and the next i’d use another one and i didn’t think about that at all.

nobody’s going to give me a fish-sitting job now, clearly.

oh well.

tomorrow is a vacation day anyway.

i hope your 4th is filled with fireworks.

ok then,

july grace.
