Today’s adventures:

I had my first real day back at work since Christmas break. However, apparently every single one of my muscles has decided to atrophy during my work hiatus, because my God, did it hurt to work today. All I was doing was ripping dead pansies out and replacing them with marigolds and dianthus and adjoradum and begonias, but wow. Wowie zowie.

Then, when the heat became crazy and it was time to go home, we discovered that in the hubbub earlier [Mom had a tour, and just before her tour was set to go, the wedding planner arrived with tents and flowers, and it was a madhouse] Mom had accidentally locked her keys in the car. So Doctor Bud and I tried to jimmy the lock with a coat hanger while Mom called AAA.

Then I had graduation practice [why’d I agree to be a Marshall, again? I’ve got to be at school at 8 tomorrow, and then I’ve got to stay in Montgomery all day because I’ve got to be back for the Baccalaureate at 4-something, and then I’ve got to be at school at 8 on Saturday, and I’m wasting all of my London-packing time on school stuff. Ah, well.

The only other conversation of note took place with my brother. Gun Shy was coming on, and I had always wanted to see it, and I really wanted to see hot Michael Weatherly hot Liam Neeson a moderately serious crime drama, so we settled down to watch, knowing absolutely nothing about it.
