EIGHTY FOUR DEGREES. That’s what it was yesterday. That’s a record. And today is unbelievably gorgeous as well. I already brought the dog for a walk before it got too hot, but I *so* want to call in with the Blue Sky Flu and go biking. It’s just *so* nice out. Maybe tonight. After berry picking. And Pirating.

ffww.

Two people called me on the “I’m working from home today”; one called me a smartass and the other one wanted to know where I worked from *yesterday*. :) It has been a very long couple of days at work.
