Happy August! I guess. My weatherbug tells me it's going to be around 100 degrees today (heat index of 110 or so), and tomorrow and Thursday are going to be even hotter. I expect I'll be hitting the water cooler mercilessly.

But! I am now exactly two weeks from my vacation! Time to start obsessing!

I am both excited (because, well, vacation! (Semi-)exotic location! snorkelling! poolside bar!) and a little apprehensive (what if I miss my connecting flight? what if I fry to a crisp? what if Penny is not cool with me being gone? what if-)

But I'm taking what steps I can to mitigate the real risks (e.g., acquiring a base tan, planning my packing with the assumption my luggage will get lost for a day or so) and just trying to ignore the mutant worrybrain stuff. I'm trying to concentrate on the good stuff that will happen when I get there.

Vacation! Wha-hoo!

Though I might need to buy a slightly bigger bathing suit. I didn't try mine on when I bought them, and my weight trend for the last couple of months, though small, has been in entirely the wrong direction. And I have this suspicion that I will not be getting smaller while I'm there.

I had a good workout at Jazzercise last night, and then as I was packing up, I stepped on my glasses. Dammit. They're not broken, but they're bent. I managed to bend them back enough to be able to wear them, but they still sit crooked on my face. I need to call the optometrist this morning and see if I can take them by and get them fixed.
