My give a fucks are on vacation.

What is my kid doing at the DNC?

The hot weather will return. It’s been like fall this week. Meanwhile, we are finally, finally, having the kitchen floor redone. I've owned this house for over thirty years, and I have always wanted to replace this floor, but we did many other projects first. I'm excited about it!

Hear that? I'm excited about something!

Distance: 3.1 miles
Duration: 2:56
Pace: 9:00

Nine minute mile, all right.

songs we heard at the DNC
Sirius - The Alan Parson Project

Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter

Good Luck, Babe! - Chappell Roan

Tik Tok - Kesha *

Not Like Us - Kendrick Lamar

Texas Hold 'Em - Beyonce

Yeah! - Usher ft. Lil Jon, Ludacris *

Mr. Brightside - The Killers

* No, these two songs were not played at the DNC (as of Thursday night) but I guess were added by Spotify's "smart shuffle" feature which I hate and probably hit by accident.
