Hello lovely people, I somehow haven't been on the board in over a week?!?!

Shir, I continue to think of you and Nilly and hope you stay safe.

I am working from home today, but officially I am now meant to be in-office 5 days a week. All of the NY-based people in my org have been moved into a new office to make room for RTO5, and the new office, bluntly, sucks balls. Rumor is that it's a short-term lease only and we'll all be moving again in 2 years but UGH.

Both kids graduated from their respective schools last week, leaving me with one each college and high school freshmen. And Dylan is officially An Adult! Whaaaaat???

NYC is supposed to be a balmy 96F today, slightly down from yesterday's high of The Literal Surface Of The Fucking Sun. When I got in my car after work yesterday the temp reading was 110 outside.

Ugh!

Congrats to Dylan and Aeryn for leveling up!

Boo on the crappy in-office-ness.

I got up at 8 and took my niece Crystal out for coffee and a walk in the Panhandle.

Now we're headed to breakfast at Zazie.

I do hate losing vernal pools. One of my favorite city planning things is when they put parks in areas that flood now and then instead of building things that need to be fixed or replaced after every major weather event.
