I just paid a kid to mow my lawn. that felt very strange. but good. Neigbor K was outside when I got home. Neighbor is obssesed by lawns . And I said something about ours needing mowing. so he said his kids would do it for 5 bucks ( tiny CA lawn) - they also did the back lawn - so I gave the kids 8 . They did a really good job. they edgged as well as mowed. Dad has taught them well. It was kinda nice to see them thrilled with the money.

YES, dammit.
They're eeevil. It's not like I don't already desperately want to take a trip to Italy. No need for them to make it worse.

Well, if you can't get to Tuscany today, get thee outside. We've got as close to a perfect New England summer day out there as we've had all summer. It ain't gonna last (unless Emily took all the nassssty weather with her to Frisco).

I did mention that it is beautiful here today, not Tuscany beautiful, but the best weather we have had all summer. Sadly I think my outdoor plans today consist mainly of going to the market.

it is beautiful out there. I wish I had other excuses to get outside.

Hello, Bitches. I am at my new job, which allows me real Internet access. I must remember to be a good girl and do the work I'm paid for first.

I'm trying to think of things to do after work so I can enjoy the day other than just "walk around" (which I used to enjoy in and off itself, but lately hasn't been cutting it, motivation-wise). Most of the free-time "to do" things I have mentally noted are movies I want to see which is NOT the way to enjoy this weather. *sigh* These days, when the weather sucks, I don't want to have to get to the theater through it to see a movie; when it's nice, it seems like a waste of the nice.
I swear I didn't used to be this lame.
Ah well - in better news, I've got some really terrific friends who gave me a gift card to Ikea for WAY too much money for my 40th b-day. And offered to give me a ride to same. That kinda made my day.

I got my period 7/1, had it for seven or eight days (typical for me), then got it again on the 14th and had it for another week. I'm suspecting Ovulating Demons at this point. I'm not, however, on the Ring. Just the rag. Perpetually.
I'm just holding my breath now.
