Dude, I am hot and tired. Taught this morning, and now I have grocered and come home. The SO just now left for his weekend trip and I already miss him like a giant sap. I do not know how the PixDesigns do it. And we used to! He used to be gone a week out of every month. This is just three days, but I`m no longer acclimated to it. Although I do have a vehicle this time, so that helps.
 
I`m at that point where I think I`m going to accomplish so much while he`s gone. Everything anybody says I think I can do. Like, ooh, I can do the recycling. And ooh, I can reorg my bookshelves. But truthfully I will probably loll around until it`s two hours after every mealtime and I suddenly realize I`m starving.
 
Speaking of which, I told the SO I wouldn`t need to grocer, but then I got 45 dollars worth of stuff. Gonna have to take it out of my spending money. Blah.
 
Anyway. Should I go swim now or not? It`s hot and I would feel better, but it looks like there are people there and I have to leave for church at 6:15.

Have accomplished shower and grocery, and MOST IMPORTANT, liquor store. Still have a few things to do, but most everything is all right.

Have only had peach today. I gotta eat something.

I vote swim. But I just about always vote swim, unless it's under 50 degrees or so.

I'm buying some furniture off craigslist. I'm pretty much trying to fill in the empty spaces in the living room and parlor for cheap enough that I've got enough left to buy a nice bedroom set. Or, at least, a matching bedroom set. Or, at the very least, a headboard.

Looks like Ikea has some verson of purple towels, but you need to go to a store and get them

Ok. If I feed the dog now and then swim for a half hour or so, I`ll be hungry when I get back and can eat my extraneous groceries and then go to church.

I've sworn off IKEA textiles. I've had way too many bad experiences with them. (Most recently, the backing of a bath mat melted and stuck to my bathroom floor, and when I pulled it up, several sections of the rug stayed attached to the floor. I was able to get the fuzzy part of the rug off, but nothing I tried got the backing off, and even when I hired a cleaning company to clean the apartment when I moved out, they couldn't get it up, either.)

ick.

amazon does too. I am not shopping for towels. I need a new cover for my couch and some new sheets

DJ- found out some stuff. YES, Parasol's ownership is changing hands, and yes, the buyers are from Florida. I mentioned the part about the franchising, and the bartender didn't know about that, but did mention that they'd been coming in taking pictures of every square inch.

The Parasol's crew will be heading up a block to Third and Magazine under a new name. Last day at current location is, as previously reported, August 31.

I did eat a roast beef po'boy, though, and Tom did drink a bunch of Miller Lites. I drank mojitos (ok, and a G&T and a beer) and am drunk and bummed.

Ugh, why does my apartment smell so stinky/stale? I work very hard to not have that happen!!!

Let's go Rangers!

I also have a cold and am supposed to be going to a cottage with my sister and nephew this week.
