Maybe you could come here and live with Wifey so at least she could have someone to relate to. Don't get me wrong, I am not a city boy. I love living far out in the country, but I have some on/off switches in my brain that I can consciously flip whenever necessary. I can be the hermit when required and I can tolerate the hustle and bustle of the big city when it is required of me. I don't like it and there is some minor stress, yes, but it is within my tolerance levels. Wifey used to live and work in the big city (Portland, OR), but today, she simply cannot tolerate even mild congestion. When we see more than three vehicles on the highway in front of our house, she calls it a traffic jam. I used to think she was joking, but seeing her flip out today makes me think she is dead serious. Sigh...8/6 #2
Wow, @Fuzzy Thunderbear .... that was some day ...and I can relate to the isolation. The friends I knew up in Alaska pretty much lived in their own world. And there is a reason why I lived in Alaska for 10 years

Good morning everybody
I slept in really late today... It was nice but now I feel like I'm super behind on getting stuff done.. I've got a pretty busy day today, not as bad as yesterday. Although I would Take yesterday over today any day! My ex husband and his mom are coming to see the girls.
About to drink some coffee and check my email. I'll be back on in a bit

Fuzzy - sounds like a stressful day. Hope all is doing better today.
Some studies say that short term stress can be beneficial but I don't think they quantify the level of stress.

Stocking up the Kindle with some new books from the online library. What shopping fun.
I must make some coils today.

Good morning, everyone. We had a full day out and about yesterday. I took my son on a tour of a research pier and he had a lot of fun helping collect seawater samples. We also got a look at a number of creatures collected from the depths of the oceans (trust me: the amphipods growing at the bottom of the Mariana Trench are not something you want to meet), make a mosaic, and check out the instruments used inside undersea monitors. From there, we met up with my wife and daughter for a different event, this one sponsored by the university medical center. We were a little late getting there, so some of the booths were already closed, but we did manage to see a few things, have some lunch, and later turn the kids loose in the activity areas. It was 6 pm by the time we got back (after stopping on the way home for a chorizo sub sandwich--yum!), so we all just crashed on the couch and watched Olympics. I didn't even have the energy to unpack the vape mail I found sitting by the door when I got home...
Oh, and welcome to the Vape Tree, @jmur! Good to see you here.

The Island of Angel.
The day was already hot, it was the middle of summer and Angel had a drive ahead of her both ways to work, the late morning was like usual. The air conditioning was not working well, and probably about to go out one day, but at least it was working today. As she drove down the highway a car flew past her, and weaved to the right cutting off another car in front of her. Another car followed just as quickly. Angel wondered why people would do that on a busy highway.
Someone came up fast, and moved right, just in front of her, and slammed on their brakes. Angel, saw the brake lights and the car quickly slowing down, responded and moved her foot quickly to the brake and started to apply pressure. Her car lurched forward and she yelped a little. "Oh!", if she could she would like to, no zombies can use the roads as well. She made it to work, and locked her car as she went into the office. She set her coffee cup down on her desk and thought about the day and where she finished the day before.
The drive back was just as hot, there were no clouds in the sky to speak of. She decided she would get Chinese takeout, on the way back, and relax. When she finally made it back home, she made it to the door and could hear little feet behind the door. Angel inserted her a key and unlocked the dead bolt and the door lock. She twisted the knob and went inside, her two little dogs were glad to see her, and she was glad to be home. Angel set her things down, pet her dogs and just wanted to shower real fast.
The shower was pleasant and being in fresh clothes felt good, she took her food to her bedroom. She walked around her bed, and flipped the lid up on her flattop computer. She pressed the power button and let it start to boot up. Angel place her food on a little bed table and then brought over to lay down, eat and look on-line at shiny's. She finally started to chat with some people she knew and told them how she spilt her coffee on her paperwork. She read some news and watched some TV, and finally her eyes started to close.
Later that night, there was a little sound that caught her attention and she opened her eyes. The TV was still on, and the table was still laying across her. She picked it up, and got out of her bed. Angel walked slowly to the kitchen and set the table down, grabbed a glass and poured herself some water. She took the glass with her and went back to her bed, she did not even look at the time. Her leg felt a little soft creature just brush by, and saw one of her dogs go back to the bed room in front of her and jump back up.
"Oh gosh." the hot coffee just started to spill out of the cup, the hot liquid running down the side. It was her second cup, and she needed to get going to work. Angel took a little napkin and wiped the side, she picked up her keys and headed to the door. The sounds of her feet on the floor, she quickly grabbed the dead bolt and turned it, swinging the door open with the handle. She quickly but calmly went outside and turned.
Angel entered the key into the lock and turned the deadbolt, she then took key and put it in the door handle and locked it. The smell of the air was fresh, it had cooled some overnight, but the humidity was still high and already the temperature was rising. The sound of her footsteps turned to the sound of concrete as she went to her car. Another key, she stopped and looked for it, found it quickly, and unlocked the car. Opening the door, she turned and sat down into the chair. She set her coffee cup in the holder and turned to her left. She grabbed the door and shut it, entered the key into the ignition. She put her left hand down and back to grab the seatbelt and turned the key with her right hand.
Tick. tick. tick. "Oh my gosh!!" She slapped the steering wheel and looked down and left, she saw the latch to open the hood and pulled it. She could hear the pop, and turned back and grabbed her coffee cup. She reopened the door and got back out, took a fast sip and set the cup on the roof. She went to the front and opened the hood and checked the connection on the battery. Tight, just as they should be, no signs of erosion on the battery. Her emotions were getting up there a little, she was going to be late for work. She took out her cell phone, walked back to her coffee and grabbed it while tapping a few times. She took the phone to her ear and the cup to her mouth.
"Riiinng." the fake computer generated sound repeated a few times. "Hello. Mom are you okay?" "Well actually no, the car will not start, and I have checked the battery." replied Angel. "Um, okay we can look at it later, do you have a ride?" her son asked. "Not yet." said Angel as she took another sip. "No problem, I will come get you and take you to work, just let your boss know you will be a little late, coming right now." Angel sighed a little, but was still frustrated, she was not noticing that the sun was on her shoulders fully and she was heating up, she finally noticed and grabbed all her stuff and went back into the house where it was cooler.
Angel knew she would drink her coffee, and have none for the ride, she went to make more. She took one of her mods and took a few puffs of e-liquid. Tasty stuff, she liked it, and took a few more pulls. Angel added the water to the machine, and the grounds at the top, she had already cleaned the coffee maker. Taking her right hand and forefinger she turned the machine on. Her dogs were at her feet waiting the whole time, tails waging. Angel turned around. "Oh, hey you little devils." she knelt down and pet them both, the smell of coffee started in the air again.
