Thanks folks for the anniversary wishes!
Back from our plans. Alas, the Nats lost in the 11th inning, and we were surrounded by obnoxious Phillies fans. Still was a fun time. Afterwards we went to Cava, a Greek mezze place for dinner. Yum...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, I managed to microwave and eat dinner. Next is shower, then bed. Or maybe nap first.

Glad to know I'm not the only person trying to be all organizey today.
I am part of Team Organizey today! I am writing descriptions and taking photos of the (seemingly never-ending) pile of clothes & boots that I'm going to sell. When am I going to learn that a UK size 12 is not the same as a US size 12?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I made a carrot cake for Lammas (bread's more traditional, but I'm not, and there's grain involved so it works out). And I got through my entire weekend household to-do list. Tomorrow a new list will magically morph into being, but that's life.
It's been unusually cool this weekend, so I've been able to keep the windows open pretty much all the time. It's great to not feel trapped in my own apartment by the weather.

I've got my windows open too! It got cooler outside than in, and drier, so open they go! Such a relief after these weeks of insano heat.

Oo, Jilli, I just so happen to be a UK size 12. meep meep
mmm, Pandora is playing us "Werewolves of London." I love that song.

Huh. Just did the math, and in the past 3 days, I swam almost 6 miles. Almost 5.5 in 2 straight sessions, half mile in cooldowns.

I just went "swimming" today, but in my case that means playing in a pool with the kids, and maybe swimming across it a couple times or doing some pool exercises. I am in awe of your swimming mojo, sara.

I may be a little crazy, but I really benefit mentally from that time doing laps where I just tune out. I might think a little bit, but I'm pretty much focussed on keeping count and improving my strokes and kicks.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I did finally get off my ass and did the minimal bit of research necessary to have the papers I need to register and title the swag wag tomorrow. I hope. You know how those things go. I will try to be there at the crack of eight when it opens. We shall see how much of my day it swallows.
It is nice and cool this evening too, and did not actually rain any more today, the first time since I've been home. It's still pretty floody out, though, because it's all runoff. If it doesn't rain tonight, we'll be able to get out to do business tomorrow.
But yes, windows open in the evening and all night, will close first thing in the morning in accordance with desert passive cooling principles. So nice to have that sweet desert breeze drifting through the windows.
