We are camping this week. It's beautiful here, and relaxing but the weather has been a little cool. Bacon should be firm and chewy, on the verge of crisp- not crunchy and definitely not floppy.

The answer is right there in your picture - your pan is big enough so the strips can lie flat. That solves issues of curling and bending and hence uneven doneness which can result in over- and/or underdoneness.

I worry about you.

and they do make bacon presses if one needs the equivalent of ironed bacon. Or a pressed sandwich.

Camping sounds like fun. I have such great memories of the summers I spent working at girl scout camp starting right after high school, teaching swimming lessons. Sleeping in the platform tents on those old wire cots with thin mattresses, we piled them up with sleeping bags and blankets to make them more comfortable, ah but it was so wonderful waking up out in the woods every morning. Especially the summer I was in that one unit up on the side of a hill, it was so beautiful. I need more nature in my life!!!!

Tomorrow my classes start.

This is the first first day of classes in almost forty years my mother hasn’t been there to wish me luck.

Next week is my birthday. When cleaning out her desk I found that she had already bought me a present before she got sick—so at least five months in advance. I didn’t open it. I don’t know if I’ll be able to.

Sending strength, @@.

I hope the first day of classes goes well, and I hope you find a way to open your gift.

H and I went to an aquarium and a butterfly garden today. Both were really cool. Here's a couple pics:

I don't have the first idea how to rest, it seems.
I'm still feeling drained after yesterday, even though it wasn't a big deal.

It was fun watching people trying to decide whether to join in the outdoor yoga in the park this morning - the humidity and heat has broken here so a lot more people are out but it is also quite cloudy with rain predicted. groups would come over with their mats and spend a bit of time looking up at the sky. About half didn't risk it. So far no rain.

Surely if you're the kind of person who enjoys outdoor yoga then weather shouldn't make much of a difference? I mean, I'd draw the line at thunderstorms and torrential downpours....but practising in light rain wouldn't make much of a difference.

I have been helping some college freshmen move into their dorms this week - it is a very very good thing that I do not teach undergrads

I hope your classes went well, @@. How lovely that your mom was thinking of and celebrating you. You get to decide when (or whether) to open the gift, whether it's on this birthday or the next one...or another special day or a random day when you just know it's time.

Good lord, surely that is not a requirement of your job?

I found out when I arrived at work yesterday that I’d forgotten to renew my parking permit in all the summer chaos.
