Dr. Ferrous

Stayed up too late last night watching and then reading. This morning I feel underwater, likely made worse by the emotional story I finished and the news of a friend needing emergency surgery. It’s also so hot I don’t want to go outside. And I’m wondering why I agreed to keep doing that second job this fall since the search (probably) failed. I would really like to still be on vacation sitting on the beach.
