Good thing I'm on vacation starting the week after next, because I feel like every day this week started with hearing (even if I wasn't actively listening for) the Drama Llama whining for 20 minutes. I'm very much done with that. It may be time to start my day with half an hour of music or a Great Gildersleeve episode or something, at least next week. The alternative is being fired for trying to strangle him.

Maybe I'm anthropomorphizing, but I swear the cats were grumpy this week too, after Wednesday when it stopped being hot as balls outdoors. Lily's gotten over it, assuming she ever had it in the first place, and Snip perked up almost immediately when she realized there was provolone for the first time in several months. She still wasn't entirely herself until around lunchtime today, though. I figured she was back to OK when I got my nose washed.

Now that it's August, and I have vacation coming up, I should figure out when I want to go whale watching. I think I can call that a tradition at this point, since I've been doing it for about five years now. By August the whales are there, so even though being on the water at all is nice, there's a point to it. And whales are nifty.

Speaking of being on the water, I caved and ordered a full-length rash guard for under my wetsuit. I'm tired of the struggle to put it on over a bathing suit, although it does get easier if I start with the wetsuit inside out. Still not fun, though, and the rash guard is supposed to help. And even if it doesn't, I can go swimming in it if I want to, so I'll have an emergency backup bathing suit.

I went and did most of the major grocery shopping, but I need to go out again if I want to buy milk. I shouldn't, because if there's milk in the house, I drink it, and I don't need the calories. But I've been enjoying it quite a lot. Decisions, decisions.
