Ugh that was me on Friday, mulching in the blazing sun. Set a timer to come back in soon, drink lots of water. Maybe make a list of things you want to get done and plan to go out again after 5pm or so?

You’re allowed outside until *checks watch* honestly about now, and you’re not allowed to go back out until 4 at the earliest.

I agree with first comment.... do your outside stuff, but avoid the hottest part of the day. And remember to drink lots of water. Set a reminder on your phone if you have to.

I’m glad that you’re feeling better. You could spend the morning / evening in that garden, but have a little siesta in the mid-day.

UGH. Honestly, I thought I was being SO good. I had a water-soaked wrap on my head which I re-soaked every so often, I came in every 30-45 minutes, sat inside and cooled down, drank water. But I think it was my last push to get the last few things in and watered before I admitted the heat of the day was too much that did me in.

Today I am just puttering. No big exertion... but it’s HARD. I have so few days off and SO MUCH to do. But I will be a good girl and leave the big pile of crusher dust for another day. :D

OMG you and I are clearly the same age. ROBIN HOOD PRINCE OF THIEVES!!! Such an objectively bad movie and I must have seen it a thousand times.

Written by Neutral Janet, I think.

LOL! OMG you are right. 

When I bought my last car a few years ago, it did end up being timed with some event or another. I looked up all of the assorted deals and Kelly Blue Book values so I knew what the approximate target payment would be.

Also I did the test drive and let the guy put together the initial offer and then said “thanks I’ll have to think about it!” and left. I HATE haggling and find it extremely stressful. I ended up leaving him a voicemail the next day essentially with my counter offer and we resolved it that way. If you aren’t in a hurry and they have what you want, it was a less-stress way to go for me.

Thank you. That helps. :) I hate haggling too! It’s like, just give me a single price. I shouldn’t have to haggle for anything. Buying a vehicle is confusing and stressful enough.

The guy we used last time left the dealership. He had gotten us what we wanted and at the price we could afford. (Our lease was nearly up and we wanted to see if we could go from a regular car to an SUV because we were moving our kid to Canada.)

Hub has to take in the SUV for regular maintenance tomorrow morning and is going to look around while he waits. And he’s going to do more research tonight. This way he’ll know if it’s even worth it to go on their big Saturday thing. 

We’re all set to just keep our SUV until hub retires and we move north, using it as a 2nd vehicle. If our house continues to increase in value and out pacing the homes in the town we want to move to, we’d be able to afford buying a new SUV with a larger engine and better tires and traction. 

But I bet it’s still delicious! I once lost a whole apple cake that way, but the crumbles were amazing on ice cream.

Hooray! I have also taken knitting back up in the last few weeks and am enjoying it so much.

Do people like links in AO3 fics? I’m iffy about...

Mostly I find them distracting within the text of the fic. If people really want to put them in the notes, I think that’s better.

Thank you. I find them distracting too, tbh. There’s not even anything kinky about the briefs. They’re just the smallest pair I could find on Hanes’ website and thought, “Yes, these are the ones Kurt would wear for shock value without Carole figuratively smacking him for it.” They’re described enough though that you know this.

omg I read that so many times! Amazing you only came across it now!

Pet peeve.
