Here. I'm just not sure where "here" is.
Morning monkeys!

My sister-in-law is getting married tomorrow, and BigT is in the wedding, so we have the day off and are traveling to Leominster today.

Since I've returned from RI, I have been working out on a regular basis (thanks BigT) and I've lost a little of the bulk I put on while in RI.

Be safe out there.

Good morning thread, monkeys! You're all probably asking yourselves why I have not posted in the GMT yet today. I know I am. Well I was out RIDING. HOORAY! I hit the road at 6:30 this morning before the 102 degree heat hits. Did 33 miles at a 17.1 mph pace. Holy humid...my clothes were completely soaked in sweat. Did I mention how much I love my new road bike? So now I sit here with Le Tour on, sipping my morning coffee, getting ready to head to MBC's company picnic where I will spend six hours stuffing my fat face full of food in between softball, volleyball, and lounging in the pool. I think I enjoy the wife's company picnic more than she does. Pretty good day IMO.

We were supposed to pick up our new foster dog tomorrow, but that's been delayed until Sunday on account of it being too hot today to transport dogs from Florida in a trailer.

Y'all stay cool now.

Morning all.

Finally getting a night at home without someone coming for dinner or staying over this week. Very happy about that.

I just want to be off work already. Sucks because my day here only started 13 min ago.

Yessssss! It's supposed to be over 70 for the next 3 days! Woo hoo! Going to check out a trail I didn't know about this weekend that is supposed to be pretty twisty-bermy-sweet. Can't wait! Also get a date with the love of my life tomorrow and the in-laws will hang out with the kiddo, then friends coming up to the cabin for some BBQ and celebration of sunshine in the PNW!

my first week of being a cubicle jocky again is hard, but not as bad as sucking lunch through a tube in my nose, so i think i'll probably return on monday with a smile.

I just had some chick double park / block me in at the local sandwich place near my work. It took me a few minutes to find her because she was on her phone and not paying attention when I asked around nicely.

When she finally was like, "oh... yeah that is my car". I politely let her know she is blocking me and 2 other cars in (she parked her car behind 3 parking spots). She replied "You don't have to be a dick about it and well, you are parked in my spot", to which I let her know that it is free public parking for the business. She then tried to justify it by saying she lived right across the street. I again let her know that it is a public parking spot and it is not hers even though she thinks it is. She told me that shes had a bad week and doesn't need me to be a dick to her.

At this point, I let her know that I really don't care and that she needs to move her illegally parked car before I call the cops and have it towed. She looked at me like shes never had anyone talk to her this way before as she continued to stand and wait for her order. I told her again to PLEASE move her car and finally she slowly walked over glaring at me the whole time and finally moved it.

cunt. Now I know where 'your' spot is. Watch out.

Haha right?! Next time I go there, maybe I will ask for some throw away animal parts (the sandwich place is also butcher shop) and those might find their way into her open windows, door handles, and windshield.

Mellow (Jobless) Day #57:
Woke up late and did my Crossfit workout. Hit the farmers market for some fresh peaches, nectarines and tomatoes. Went by the garden center to get more pots for my herb/veggie garden. I had too many plants per pot and had to spread them out a bit. I also picked up some snow peas, which i built a trestle for, and mint. I think I'm going to get a few more pots for some year-round carrots and greens.
I'm making some ciabatta bread to have with our sandwiches mid-hike tomorrow.

It's kind of funny because despite me not working, we are able to live near the same lifestyle because it doesn't cost me $600/month to just go to work. We're also able to save more money on groceries and eat healthier, so we are eating less. Our food bill has also gone done by almost 40% too. Adding time to do Crossfit at home and that's another $120/month for the gym.

It's shocking that we are spending less monthly based solely on me not working and doing errands sans car. My accounting is showing that we are actually saving almost $1500/month by me not working. That plus my unemployment actually puts us at roughly what we were making before, but not pulling so much into savings.

It really is scary how much we, as people, pay to work in this country.
