Not much new to report. Been working like crazy.

The tomato crop was pretty successful. I easily got a couple hundred tomatoes and they’re still coming. I need to read up on them for next year. The tomatoes were pretty good but kind of small and the skins were really thick. I think I’ll try different varieties next year. I wanted to grow heirlooms but was too lazy to go find them this year. I’ll make the effort next year.

I made a pomodoro sauce the other day with homegrown tomatoes and basil and it was the best I’ve ever had.

Work is stupidly busy and I’m getting a little tired of it. The problem team is still a freaking problem. I spend probably 75% of my time managing them which leaves 25% for the other three teams and my own stuff I have to do. I’m also sick of them, frankly. But, maybe I just need a break.

I’m bored. I spend so much time working that by the weekend I’m so tired that I just don’t want to do anything. I’ve been here before but it’s been a while and the older I get, the less I can tolerate it.

But, my boss and I got in a yelling match in the company lobby yesterday so, maybe I’ll get fired.

Despite being on diet food for a good couple of months and having all other foods taken away and treats reduced by 75%, neither of the cats has lost a single pound. The interesting thing is, they’re way more active than ever which you would think would lend itself to weight loss – reduced calorie intake and increased calorie burn – but . . . not my little oinkers. I’m at a loss as to what to do.

Nothing much else to say.

Ciao for now.
