80F on the porch

Today was A Long, but so far without the shitshow that was last Saturday evening. Here's hoping it remains chill.The light's been getting earlier and earlier (as we are somewhat high latitude compared to the rest of the US) and Kittenpants has therefore been waking up earlier and earlier and yelling. So both of us were up before Belovedest's alarm. I made a sausage patty, potato, and mixed veg item, which was delicious. (Secret ingredients included onion powder and gravy powder.)
The original plan was for me to drive, but my left wrist is (still) upset at me in a way it never has been before, and I was in A State. Belovedest drove.
( Day. )
I've been doing little semi-bullet-journal daily lists lately. Some to-do items, some self-care items, some of the events of the day, some things where I need a progress bar to motivate me. Belovedest saw me working on one before we left in the morning and commented with some measure of satisfaction at it. I like having the little visual records, and I try to get them scanned into my photo album before they get lost forever. (My this-is-scanned mark is a short slash coming down from the top right corner, looking like an incomplete bend sinister, gules.)
The Sea-Tac temperature tied the record from 1996 or something like that. I had the window open with a tiny fan last night, and this afternoon had Belovedest set up the 20" fan that lives on the dining room table from the beginnings of heat in the spring until it cools down in the fall. The date I have on the rotating cycle of papers that marks our seasons prescribes that the air conditioner be hauled into the window on Beltane. This is the second day we might could have used an air condition. I decided that adding heat to the kitchen was probably not a great idea, and combined the fridge patrol for vegetables to be used up before they turned with that concept. So cucumber salad it was. The avocados had betrayed me, but fortunately we had some of the little cups of salted smashed avocado. That, cheese, peas, and the new tub of mushrooms? Nom nom nom. The old tub of mushrooms was about to turn, so I cooked it down into a tasty topping that will probably go on a burger or something this week. There is only a tiny box of the salad left, but two more cucumbers that will need using soon.
I will probably flatten myself into bed with a bowl of blueberries and a book, or play a few more rounds of gems before conking out.
