Tookie made it through another night. Even though we had her covered with a blanket, she was cold in her little nest that we made, and was letting out these sad little meows, so I picked her up and gave her many cuddles. She was very happy being held. We moved her nest into our bedroom for the night so the other cats wouldn't bother her, and she meowed even more, so we put some towels down on the bed and let her sleep between us. She was very content after that. 

Ran a bunch of errands after work - grocery pickup, shopping for blackout curtains for the bedroom (why are all blackout curtains currently in this chunky waffle weave? I have cats, this is asking for disaster), and stopping at Petsmart to buy more squishy senior cat food to try and get Tookie to eat more. The heat index was 109, and by the time I was at my last stop I felt like I was going to pass out. I really need my AC fixed. 

Realized yesterday that we already have our next federal holiday next week, for July 4th. It's a Thursday this year, so I requested Friday off to give myself a four-day weekend, and the Captain approved it. Hooray! It's our last holiday for a couple of months, so I'm going to enjoy it.

A new Ball was just announced for Dickens weekend, for Saturday night. It's an independent event, and details are still forthcoming, but I am excited to have something big on Saturday night to look forward to, since the official festival really loads everything onto Friday. Is this an excuse to make that third transformation dress? Yes, most likely, yes.

If I had a million dollars, I would buy this.

I cut through a fancy neighborhood to get to work every morning, and there are always ducks roaming around because there's a pond hidden in there somewhere. This morning, I spotted two fluffy little yellow ducklings! Day made.

The county archives are having an open house on Thursday to show off their big new overhead scanner that they are very excited about, and it said "we're happy to provide a tour of the archives if you have time to stick around," which is such a funny thing to put into a county-wide invite. So yeah, of course I'm going to ask for a tour, because I love archives, have little actual work to do, and you are being all "please come visit the archives uwu." 

I have been rewatching all of Bob's Burgers while the baby is around (because bright and colorful for her, funny for me) and their Thanksgiving episodes are making me hungry. The one I watched yesterday, Bob's menu included a baked brie with roasted pears, rosemary bread, sausage and chestnut stuff, and turkey. Can it be Fall yet? I need turkeys to go on sale. And chestnuts.
