And it was even hotter today. ;_; Denver's official temperature hit 101° today.

Work was a major headache. I stayed almost a full hour late, just trying to make sure that everything was set up for me being gone for a week. (Though I was also chatting with coworkers for a few at the end of the day.)

So far Camp NaNo is going pretty well. I'm pretty far ahead of my target so far! Though with going out of town this week, I think it's fairly likely that I'll fall back behind. (I'm trying to psych myself up with being okay with completely skipping a day or two, even though I miss the completionist badges for the event, haha.)

I don't think it's sunk in quite yet that I'm free for a whole NINE DAYS away from work. (My whole five-day work-week off, plus the "weekends" at either side.) I know that it'll go super fast, and nine days from now I'll be super sad that the break is over, but for now that feels infinite, ha.

101°

🙀🙀🙀

Don't melt!

Thank you! Trying not to! (Today is much cooler.)

That kind of heat sucks.

Glad you are off from work for a while!

I prefer hot to cold, but this is hotter than I like! I know our electric bill is going to suck running the AC so constantly. It's also rough when it's still 80-something at midnight, because nothing cools off well. (Though today is much cooler, thankfully.)

And thank you! I'm excited to just... not worry about it for a while.

I much prefer cold, but sadly living in Oregon I have lost some of my New Englander cold tolerance. I hope the heat breaks soon.

[mistressofmuses]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd be miserable in a New England winter! Colorado gets cold, but much like the heat, the lack of humidity makes it a little more bearable. I'm a weenie about being cold. Still... I'd rather we be at seasonal norms instead of setting record high temps!

It's that coastal wind. I used to be able to take the Northeast wind coming in, but last time I faced it I needed to get back into the car as fast as possible.

I was all: "Ah, the Connecticut coast, my home... oh god oh god."

[mistressofmuses]

Yeah, that sounds like hell to me, haha.

But I can picture exactly that, lol: "Ah yes, here we are! But I have to go!" Tends to be my feeling on a crisp winter morning as it is, ha.
