An coileach won't stop telling me it's an damn lae!

Alas, no--the squirrel ran away too quickly, and after that there was no point.

I hate when that happens! When it was time to figure out whether I could swing the All Things Go festival in MD this year, I must have been super busy--and now I've got something else unskippable on the calendar (I forget exactly what) and it's sold out.

I'm glad you eventually got used to them!

That's helpful to hear. So far, I don't have too much of a problem when I'm not switching between distances, but it's unnerving when I am. I think this is eventually going to work--I just have to suspend disbelief when my eyes go "WTF???"

Summer is always wacky! And I remember that the bullet journal has treated you well in the past--in fact, anytime someone says "bullet journal," I think of you! :)
