One gargantuan bag of the 'petals' from the linden trees swept up. These trees just never give us a break (and they still aren't done with petals, but weather is coming this week and it was mulching already.)

I'm feelthy. Taking a change of clean clothes with me to the pool.

I just caught myself thinking "this summer hasn't been too bad, only a few really hot days" and then I realized that it is not technically summer yet.

It is definitely popsicle season, though. Balsamic strawberry and cream in the quick pop freezer even now.

Oh! After all of the talk of breaking things on hard kitchen counters, I totally smashed a mug on my counter today! Luckily, it was not a mug I liked much.

That sounds delightful!

Well, I sucked it up and cleaned out the fridge. Which lead to taking out the trash, so I'm calling it my adult accomplishment for the day. Well, that and sending out five job applications. I sent eight yesterday and six more the day before that. I keep having these flashes of panic, and I've found trawling various employment opportunity web pages helps keep them at bay.

Gold star, Calli! Maybe several.

Popsicle was yum, though I am now thinking that maybe I should cook down the pureed strawberries to concentrate the flavor. Not today.

That's a lot of applications, Calli! Nicely done!

I just watched The Heat for the first time, and I almost choked I was laughing so hard.

Wow, Calli.

I am both tired and restless. It's an annoying combination.

I did laundry and went for a walk. Now I'm going to make black bean and egg burritos before I head out to see Eddie Izzard tonight.

Today's Teefury shirts are Cosmos-themed. I had to buy Lego Neil deGrasse Tyson and Carl Sagan: [link]

We went to Ikea and bought a guest bed, as my mom is just getting too frail to sleep on our blow-up bed, even the tall one we have. We went cheap on the bed, expensive (for Ikea) on the mattress). Now that we have made space by getting two boxes of books to go to Goodwill packed up, time to put the bed together.

Is a visit from Mom of Scrappy imminent? Cheap on the bed, expensive on the mattress sounds smart.

I have enough clean towels to get me through the week. As you know, Bob, that is my prime motivation for doing laundry. The kitchen situation is still pretty dire, but progress is being made.

I think I will not swim this evening. I knew it would get hot today and I thought that would make going to the pool more inviting, but the heat has sapped all my energy and getting to the gym seems like way too much trouble.
