Jul. 19th, 2022 06:17 pmActually it wasn't as hot as I thought it would be today. Yesterday was worse with all of the thunderstorms and sticky humidity. Also, my body is a human weather vane and doesn't deal with thunderstorms well - or electricity in the air - it makes me irritable.
Mother told me that the crematorium wrapped my father's body in the flag prior to cremating him (they use old flags to wrap the body's in for cremation) and ...this is the best part. They planted a tree in his name, they wouldn't tell her where, but still - a tree has been planted for my Dad. This makes me so happy. My brother wasn't as impressed - his response was - "I have plenty of trees", my response was "yay, more trees!" I honestly think I was a wood nymph or a tree in a past life.
It's my one caveat regarding a view - sky and trees. I really don't care about seeing anything else.

While watching DVR'd GH episode. I usually ff during the commercials, but the DVR isn't making it easy lately.
News update: Next on the news at 4pm.. A man was shot and kill while saving parking spots for Law & Order Television Shoot.
Me: Wait. WTF? [ I looked up from the computer, stared at the screen (because I'm writing/typing this post as I'm watching the soap.) and thought, did I hear that right? I couldn't have. )
Update: I did. Here's the Man shot and killed while holding parking spots for Law & Order Organized Crime Television Shoot
Can we get rid of guns now?

I've just about given up on Helen Huang's The Bride Test, at the 84% mark. I may skim the rest - which is doable, it's mostly the two characters navel gazing. ( rant about The Bride Test, skip if you loved it, mileage it varies and all that )
Sorry needed to rant about it. I may move back to the historical which is about a nutty female physician who had taken over her father's practice and been corresponding in his name with various people - trying to convince a former Colonel and heir to a Dukedom, to let her help his foster mother, third cousin twice removed.

Work is still crazy. For the first time in a while, I'm behind on my work.
Coordinated and facilitated two Teams meetings today on project, have one tomorrow, plus sent out agendas, created an addendum, uploaded it, got it approved.
Also Gabe gave me flowers, or did I say that already?
