When I got up at 6:30am this morning it was still kind of dark and I thought ugh, the days are already getting that short? But then realized it was dark because there was a cloud cover and we were having rain! What!?! It was not in the forecast last night and is just a light showery rain, but halleluiah!
August has been an odd month so far, what with vacation and travel. The meetings this week have been tiring because of a lot of thinking, now followed by thinking about the thinking. One of the exercises we did was to define good and great at the different job levels, but I think it may have backfired because it gave a few of us a clearer picture of how we're expected to perform above our level and we're not being compensated for the actual level of work we're doing... so there are going to be some deep discussions in the coming weeks.
I ended up ripping back what I had knit on my hat and starting over, switching up which color was the main color and which were secondary. But I'm still not happy with it, so I think I'll be going out to the country yarn store tomorrow to pick new yarn, since my local shop doesn't carry that brand.
The temps are supposed to cool off a bit, back down to the low 80's, so hopefully that will help me feel more energetic and able to get more things done.
