Well, swim was great and fast, but attempt to get shelving was a bust. I coulda sworn I saw them there, but I've been in so damn many HomeDespots and Lowes in the past few weeks, I can't be sure it wasn't in Birmingham.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

My 8 year old nephew is officially holding the overall record lap time in the junior division at the indoor (really popular) go kart track. To put in perspective, it's within 3 seconds of the adult record, whose cars have more power and can go faster.
This one definitely got his dad's racing bug.
Oh, and it happened Sunday, when we all went. Kid is a SERIOUS driver. But he still gave a fist pump crossing the finish line ahead of everyone. The flag guy and another staff came over and were kinda amazed at his times and can't wait until they can get him into the adult cars..5 years from now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Whoa.

Scary fast, it sounds like.

Naturally. This kid is all about speed and kinetics. He's also got kinda high testosterone, which is what everyone attributes his competitiveness to (until you know his mom.)
If he could reach the pedals, my brother'd be teaching him to drive. Elder nephew has got a few lessons, is content to be chauffeured. (I told him to come visit, my clutch is nowhere near the bears my brother's cars are. )

So, the Army is doing a study about MREs and they're looking for volunteers to only eat MREs for three weeks. You get "up to" $200. Which might be OK if you didn't also have to:
During the study you will visit our lab in Natick, MA for ~3 hours 4 separate times. We will also meet with you at our lab or at your home/place of work for 30-60 min at least 3 days/week during the study. Data collection will include questionnaires, and blood, urine and fecal samples.
Yikes.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Groceries, laundry, DVR. Yup, its a typical Sunday here.

I am not sure how I'm going to be ready to go to work tomorrow. Just showering is still exhausting! And I've been sleeping 9 hours a night.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I slept for over 10 hours last night, it was glorious! Trying to get going this morning, however, is a challenge. I think I will need an actual pen-and-paper to do list today.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I didn't sleep that long. I better take a nap to make up for it.
Happy Brthday Shrift!
