late summer heat

WHOOF. It's Bay Area Summertime, which means it's our turn for a few weeks of extremely high temperatures. Our summers are usually much cooler, with the heatwave coming rather late in the season, and this year is no different. It's been in the 80s and 90s over the last couple of days, which is NOT fun, considering us San Franciscans really don't need AC or fans 90% of the year. I'm just glad that my store is a bit on the cool side! (Speaking of which, I'm scheduled to do dairy upstock the next couple of days, which means I get to hang out in the cooler parts of the store, yay!) The only downside to this is that several customers will also grok to the fact that my store is a perfect place to cool off. It's a double-edged sword: we'll make our budget and then some, but it'll be super busy and I'll be exhausted by the end of it.

My writing sessions have been kind of wonky the last couple of days as well, partly due to the weather making it a bit too warm and stuffy in the apartment, but it is what it is. I'll catch up eventually. I'm also getting close to ready to try out a few things in the Mendaihu Universe on the 750, probably in the next week or so, so I'm looking forward to that.

Oh! And I did the smart thing and scheduled my latest Covid shot the day BEFORE my day off. I always do that, just in case the vaccine kicks my ass. The first one laid me out back then, but all the shots since then have only left me achey for a day or so. A few of my coworkers made the mistake of not scheduling it like that and ended up calling out the next day, which for me was NOT fun at all. [I don't blame them for feeling ill at all, only that those days where I'm doing twice the work because of their being out end up laying me out eventually.]

Hope everyone has a good (and much cooler) week!
