Hi

Uh. Cough. Well. I was actually sick last week. The remodeling started yesterday (the old kitchen? yeah, it's already torn out). We'll be living out of the guest bedroom and a dorm frig for 3 weeks. I'll be working remotely from a friend's office and the local free WiFi coffeeshop (Triumph, for those of you playing at home). Mom's 70th birthday is this weekend, so we have the mandatory trip to Dallas. In M's parent's van, hopefully. With a double-bed wedged into the back since the guest bedroom is turning into the nursery. And the garden? Yeah, other than harvesting tomatoes, I officially can't care too much about it anymore. It's too darn hot, as the Velvet Fog would croon. (look it up!) And I'm 27 weeks pregnant. Hellooooooo, third trimester. Belly is alarming. Sweating in client meetings sucks. My car was 105 degrees when I got in it downtown yesterday afternoon. God help me, it's not even July yet.
