I’ve been getting really frustrated at work far too easily. I’m not really sure what the problem is, but I’m blaming it on the heat. It is miserable here. Tonight my elbows were dripping sweat as I walked home from work…at 7:30 pm. Lucky me, I’m headed to Minneapolis for a long weekend.

I’ve been having an introspective sort of week (aka “being hard on myself”). Not much to be done about it – I see myself developing some habits I’d rather not adopt. Mainly, being overtly judgmental and selfish. I’ve been feeling a little taken advantage of by some friends and am trying to find the balance between being gracious and not getting run over. It’s a fine line.

There are two things that have been getting me going in the morning: copious amounts of coffee with half and half(!), and los campesinos! Also…twitter updates by the Mars Phoenix Rover.
