• Last Sunday, for the first time ever, I had a blood spot in my eye. That might be called a subconjunctival hemorrhage? I won’t subject you to a photo! It is almost gone by today, but it was alarming to find Sunday morning.
  • The Project Hail Mary trailer that came out this week is so good, it makes me want to reread (or maybe listen?) to the book. But gosh, I still vividly remember how hard it was to get through all the math calculations in it.
  • I took leave Tuesday afternoon and my coworker and I went to see F1. It wasn’t on my radar but she’s a huge F1 fan and I was like, eh, why the hell not?! It was fun and engaging in the theater. But probably something I’d struggle to pay attention to at home. I always do better with action movies at the theater.
  • I told Steven I noticed I’ve been making more typos and forgetting more words in emails lately, due to the large amount of communication I am sending and he said he read that seeing mistakes makes people think it’s more sincere because AI didn’t write it. Ha. I liked that interpretation.
  • The horrible heat we’ve had from the end of last month until now is making me so cranky. I kept thinking it’s too early for that kind of heat (the extremely oppressive kind with dew points of 76°), but then I read a note in my line-a-day journal from last year where I said we’d been having similar weather for weeks. So I guess we went through this last year too. The difference last year is I wasn’t commuting every day of the week, carrying a backpack and gym bag, and walking a mile from the train station to my office.
  • We harvested some cilantro from our garden! I gave it to a coworker on Tuesday and he made salsa for the entire office, and a jar for me to take home. So nice!
