My Frye sneakers arrived and I really like them! We’re having unseasonably hot weather here the past few days and when we went to turn on our AC for the first time this season, it wasn’t working. That was a few days ago, the AC guy is here now and has been for an hour and a half but things still aren’t working. I mention all of this only because I cannot tell if I should’ve sized up in this shoe because my feet are swollen from the heat, our place has been REALLY toasty since Tuesday.

LforL thankfully no. We can see it from the back deck but we’re sort of catty cornered to it and far enough away it won’t be a problem. If someone is hitting that house they’re having a very bad day on the links lol.

Our AC is working again! Thank goodness. Tuesday and Wednesday nights were miserable trying to sleep in the heat. The dog kept trying to cool off on the bathroom tile. Last night I got in bed maybe five minutes before the boyfriend and was out like a light, didn’t even hear him hop in, and could’ve slept way longer this morning.

I saw Six with my sister a month or so ago. Loved it!! I went in only knowing it was about King Henry’s six wives, but not how the story would be told. It was so high energy and good. Pre-COVID my sister and some gal pals had Broadway season tickets. These friends moved away or scheduling is now too tricky. So I’ve been going with her to some shows lately as she finishes out her tickets from like 2019. We also saw Frozen this year and Moulin Rouge last week. I also loved Moulin Rouge and highly recommend that one. In 2020 we were planning to see Dear Evan Hansen for my her bday but obviously that didn’t happen so we’ll likely go this year and have a 36th bday redo for her.

Wow! I hadn’t used that L’Oreal 8-second wonder water in my hair in a while because I’ve been able to wash and dry on non-humid days. But today is kind of sticky and I needed to wash for the week. I threw on one “dose” of the Wonder Water after shampooing and before conditioning, and once again had a wonderful result after styling. It has never let me down. Again, I’d be hesitant to use a product like this too often because I’d worry about buildup, but it is so great when you need to make sure you have a good hair day.

Oh ffs! I work at a conservative investment company, and people were wearing “nice” jeans in 2019 when I started, and now on any given day I see many people in jeans. To give someone a dirty look for wearing jeans is obnoxious and idiotic. Get some priorities.

I work in the legal space so my company is a bit old-school and slow to adapt, just like the rest of the field and many firms seem to be. The executive director has made a few comments about what I’m wearing. It hasn’t happened in maybe three or four years, though. Not super creepy comments but he’d make “jokes.” Like when I wore a black sheath dress to a meeting I was told would very formal, he commented that I looked like I was going to a funeral. After that on another occasion where I was wearing black, he greeted me with, “Good mourning.” (He spelled it aloud for me so that I’d understand the “joke.”) The first couple times it happened, I tried a polite fake laugh. But after a few times and feeling increasingly WTF, I decided to just stare at him. It wasn’t super regular, but it stopped completely after that. I’ve heard him make comments to other coworkers, like the time he sarcastically commented “nice hair” to a coworker with curly hair on a very humid summer day. It’s dumb. I generally like him and think he’s great at what he does in that role, I suspect he’ll retire within a couple years and it’ll be a big loss for the company, but that kind of behavior… no thanks.
