sunny day

I'm up. I don't wanna be up, but I am. Gotta get the old sleep schedule skewed 'round so I am not semi-concious on first day of shiny new job, so I got up at 9:30 this morning, and will do 8-ish tomorrow. Ye gods, that feels early!

Just got back from Walgreens, where I stocked up on cleaning stuff. If I have to be awake, I might as well be productive. And I got pretty-scented candles to burn once everything is sparkly-clean. Okay, maybe once the surfaces are less grey and fuzzy-looking. At least it will be an improvement.

Got a letter from my mommy. She's officially retiring on October 1st, and after my brother's wedding that weekend in San FranCircus, she will be driving down to Florida to look for a condo. She wants to get one near her um-friend Hal's place. (I just CAN'T call a man in his 70s a 'boyfriend'). After being messily divorced and living on her own for nearly 20 years, she wants to still have her own place. I can totally understand that. Still, it's hard to imagine my active tennis-playing travel-happy mom retired and puttering around on a golf cart in FL. Oh, well, life goes on, I guess. Then I'll be the only member of my family still living in a cold climate.

It's waaay sunny and low 70s out. I have all the windows open and fans going. It smells much less like socks and dishes in here now.

wow

so THAT's what the bottom of my oven is supposed to look like....

it's my fault

When it gets freezing cold again soon, you can all blame me.

I put my Air-Conditioner in the window today.

Not that I intend to USE it any time soon, but mid-cleaning-fit was a prime opportunity to get to the window area easily. Plus I will be suffering form a distinct lack of weekends in the near future.

Of course, mere hours after I put it in, the winds came in off teh lake, and the temps dropped 25 degrees.

Sigh.
