When I talk of the weather it is not simply small talk. Because I usually have to work in the weather at least part of the time. And I work near tall metal towers so lightning is always a concern. As for today it's going to be 80F/26.6C which is rather warm. So I have to dress appropriately. Ironically I wear mostly black when it is hot. But what I wear is light and let's air flow through. I hear a cat upstairs doing something they shouldn't.

Dash is on the stairs.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

Tomorrow I get up at early fucking o'clock for a doctors appointment. Tiring.

I was sick last night. Probably due to me being an idiot and overeating instead of any medical stuff.

I should drink a lot of water today. I suspect they'll take my blood tomorrow.
