Woke from a dream that I tried to remember 10 minutes later, but I couldn't. Had a text from PECO that the power was inexplicably out and would be restored at 2:30 pm; however, the power was on. Sometimes days start with people telling me the opposite of reality, and this appears to be one of them. Preparing for a weird one.

I work from home, so I settled into a bunch of meetings cancelled and then new ones created. When this happens, I think about am unwritten Kraftwerk-esque avant garde electroclash song with the lyrics: Make the meeting. Cancel the meeting. Making meetings? Cancel them!! ( If anyone reading this would like to explore that with me, please reach out!)

I made my first BLT if summer for lunch. BLTs are a beautiful summer food that I try to save for only eating in summer to make them special. I enjoy a controversial BLT that has mayo on the bread side for lettuce and peanut butter on the bread side for bacon. I don't know how or why this is a thing, but that's they way my mom likes them. So I eventually became part of that cult. I don't look back. It's damned good. Try it once! YOLO

Checked out of work about 15 mins early because my brain was exhausted. I took a short walk around the neighborhood. It was that weird time when traffic doesn't quite yet hit and people flooding down from CC hadn't reached my neighborhood yet. There wasn't as many people or cars on the street as there would normally be. There was a small child riding a bike in circles on a basketball court. They seemed to be having a lot of fun. 

Passed through the Italian Market briefly on my way home and was glad to see they removed the meat and cheese at the top of the pole that gets greased for the annual contest. I had been tracking them up there for a least a month after the festival. I'm not sure exactly when they were taken down, but I am happy they were properly removed.

Later that night I had scheduled time for myself to do nothing, which I hate. So I waited until bedtime by watching The Righteous Gemstones. I have a hard time investing in the show (and also doing nothing), so I multitasked by crocheting and learning Klingon on Duolingo. Qapla'!

Reflecting on the day, it wasn't as weird as I would have hoped. For me it was Tuesday, decidedly, and fairly regular (whatever that means). I look forward to more irregular Tuesdays in my future.

The end!
