summer is here, and my head is happy

This weekend has contained a lot of odd. I've had a lot of contact from people I haven't heard from/seen in years and all of it concentrated over the past few days.

Last night I went to County Line to see my former supervisors from my dot-com days. (The good ones, not the scary ones.) It was happy and we laughed like crazy remembering the terrible, weird, horrible moments of that job. I think it left us all with all sorts of scars, which might be why I can't think about having a "career" in an office without feeling anxious.

It was also my first foray out into the world without any hair. (Yes I put sunscreen on my head.) No one pointed and laughed, so my anxiety is relieved. The texture continues to be weird whenever I touch my head, and I have a minor fear I'm going to stick to stuff like velcro. But I am so pleased in other ways and I put my hair brush away in the bathroom.

I've always felt I looked more like my mother, but I can definitely see more of my father and my grandfather in my face now. Interesting.

hot ow hot ow hot

A very Homer Simpson moment - shifting back and forth on the hot red brick outside to water my flowers. Ten minutes later and my feet still feel a little scorched. The temperature is officially 97, but it feels much much hotter. Maybe that's why we both feel a little sick today.

Instead of doing anything serious, I think we are just going to watch movies. I did turn on the roomba, sweep through the kitchen and wipe the ash out of the oven. (Yay self cleaning oven)

Thank you everyone who commented or messaged and made my birthday weekend fun by providing delicious food or good wishes.
