I'm tense. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude is tense. The cat is probably tense, though it's hard to tell. It's too hot, still, and this unemployment business is getting very old. Especially since I not only haven't gotten this week's check, I haven't gotten last week's yet, and the Web site FAQ is all about what you need in order to apply, nothing about what happens afterward. I have a phone number somewhere, which I will call on Monday. (A number for questions, that is, not just the weekly dial-the-robot number.)
I should be writing. Instead, the major accomplishment of the day was lunch: blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup! The pancakes were better than last week's: I put the batter in the fridge for half an hour before using it, and I kept the pancakes warm in the oven. I may try a slightly thinner batter next time, but the cakes have to be thick enough to hold a blueberry.
The minor accomplishment of the day was pulling out the exercise mat and doing crunches, three sets (and not quite two sets of the back arching exercise, before my left knee complained and I decided to stop that).
And we never did get that thunderstorm, only the sound of distant thunder and some promising wind.
