- In a fit of intense irritation with HTML (you know when it's just moody?) I decided to clean the apartment instead. I'm sure I'll look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow and be able to solve it.
- Tomorrow I'm going to: work efficiently, finish the above-mentioned HTML project, send Kali my next chunk of EtGB and finish and submit two pieces of actual fiction. And do laundry. Amazingly, this is possible and will happen.
- Patty will be home in less than a week. It's amazing to me how 9 or 10 weeks as it usually is, is long, but manageable, and 3 months (3 months!) which isn't that much longer, just hits this point where the whole thing seems bizarre and insane.
- It's spring. How do I know? Is it the buds on the trees? The thunderstorm? The warmer weather? No, it's the giant fucking fly that I just had to chase out of our bedroom.
- My hair was particularly egregious today. Dry and frizzy and it needs a trim. I look like some chick from the 80s. I just keep telling myself this is not a week to be hot. I can be hot next week when the girl comes home.
- Cirque du Soleil. I've never been. Am getting Patty and I tickets. This is spend a big bucks for the good seats sort of a thing, right?
- Am considering making my diet less carnvierous. As in no red meat and eating vegetarian 3 or 4 days of 7. With celiac disease and the soy avoidance and the fact that I really like meat, this wouldn't be easy, but in the "oh god, what's with everyone and the tumors lately?" spirit of things, I'm considering it. I mean, once upon a time I was even vegan.
- I think I need to talk to my mother about getting a scooter for my father. There's no reason for him to be housebound and I know he has to practice his walking, but at his age, waiting for his muscles to recover entirely from the stroke is foolish. There's a world out there he deserves to continue to participate in. My dad is nuts and difficult and undereducated, but he's also enterally curious about pretty much everything. This will cause a family fight, but it's got to be said.
