Almost didn’t get up this morning because my body was quite convinced it was still the middle of the night. Took forever for my eyes to adjust to light…. I guess waking up to bright sun or at least sun rising directly into my eyes in the mornings has been spoiling me. At least I can’t complain about how hot it is anymore, and don’t feel guilty about being inside. Yay, only 4 more months of this! At least it’s not snowing here yet though.
After starting to take public transit in May, today was the first day I got really wet on the way to work (15 minute walk to the first early
morning bus). I’ll dry fine (shoe’s a little wet still), but since I take my laptop to and from work daily, I hope it doesn’t rain more as it’s going get wet. I have this great ( http://www.willowdesign.com/PK-02.html ) laptop backpack, but it still gets wet after a time. Anyone have any GOOD ideas besides putting the laptop in a plastic bag?
