Huh, I wondered what would happen if my phone screen was unlocked while I was carrying it from one room to another.

Science-ing before 9a. Kudos.

My whole week is screwed up. Today is my first day in the office.

Happy Friday!

Thanks for the ride. Dana.

Slow moving this morning. My watch tells me I had a sleep score of 23, and a current body battery of 12. I still haven't managed to get out the door to take the dog to the park. He is so patient with me. Then pack-clean-pack-clean before lunch with a neighbor, followed by more cleaning and packing, and the dinner trip to the dog park, to be ready to head out in the morning.

Not enough coffee in the world. If there were a Cuban coffee vendor at the park, they would get my business. (never been that lucky, but I should do a quick search to see if one is on the route)

Ooh but you could go get Cuban coffee. For that I am jealous. Though not for the sleep score of 23! Goodness!

I was awoken by many many sirens between like 5-539am? wtf. But then fell back asleep…and woke up 45 minutes after my alarm because my phone had died and not alarmed. Oops. Luckily nbd.

I checked and there were half a dozen Cuban coffee options on my route to and from the dog park, but they were all sit-down cafe-type joints. In Miami I could just grab it from a street vendor or food truck. Since I have the dog with me a cafe wasn't a good option.

There is very little that I can say Tesla did better than Mercedes, but doggy mode is a biggie. I either have to trick the car into thinking I am still in the car and leave it running, or roll down the windows and leave it unlocked, which still doesn't work in this heat. Mercedes does not have a doggy mode because, by policy, they do not believe dogs should be left in the car. Really! That means no more routine car rides when I do errands for poor Skinner. I used doggy mode all the time.

Another notable example of underutilized technology is the lack of driver recognition and vehicle starting features. In the Tesla, you are synced via Bluetooth to your phone. As you approach it knows it is you, adjusts the seat, and unlocks. There is no start button; you just put it in drive and go. The Mercedes has a key fob, after which you choose which driver you are, and then press an actual button to start or stop the car. What!! I am so spoiled, but all of that is just readily available tech, and they could use it. My theory is that they make so much on selling key fobs that they don't want to eliminate them.

Grumbling over. Back to work.

My M-W were normal but I still feel as if I have forgotten how this whole "working" thing is supposed to go. Also, cat on my lap

What!! I am so spoiled

I mean..."My Mercedes doesn't adjust my seat before I get to the car" is kinda up there with my diamond shoes are too tight.

Good news from sunny San Francisco, Emmett's first gig as an Electrician's Apprentice begins on Monday!

He's excited! I'm excited. Once the fall comes around these beginner gigs will be mixed with electrician classes. I'm going to need to help him get a new car, though.

I made plans with Matilda's bestie, Iris, to come over and do another deep clean/organize on Matilda's bedroom. (It's a paying gig.).

I've got Pilates at noon and then I can faff about.

Go Emmett! I'm excited for him!

Woo-hoo!
