I'm feeling really good! Definitely have tons of energy. I no longer have to plan out my daily activities to incorporate the least amount of steps, so I'm always bopping around my apartment when I'm getting ready in the morning. It confuses my cat because she used to be able to follow me from place to place and not worry about me turning around and retracing my steps. Now she has to stay out of my way!

Although this week I've been exceedingly lazy and haven't gone swimming once since Saturday. I'm getting back in the pool tomorrow morning and will also swim on Sunday before my swimming lesson, and back into my MWF pattern next week. The heat was getting me all lethargic, and I was just wanting to stay home and cross-stitch in the air conditioning. (I'm working on my mom's Christmas present.)

All this energy has me purging my apartment of extra stuff, so I've been making several trips to Goodwill. I probably should be selling some of these things on ebay, but I've never sold anything online before and I don't know if I'd get any decent money from doing that. I think I'm worried that I'll end up spending more cash mailing the clothes to the winning bidder than I'll get from them in total.

Look for a resale shop, Kathy. There's one here in town, and it has amazing stuff sometimes. It's consignment for the people who bring clothes in, I think.

Also, if you have energy to spare, I would like some now please.

Kate, we got a negative from IBM last week (yes, 6 weeks after the interview, and no, we have not been reimbursed for the trip yet.) He has an offer, of kind of a weird sort, (they said, come for an interview and we'll pay half and if the interview is successful you can start the next day!) in Berlin, but the salary is on the low end and it's not the best move in terms of long term career goals. I think it makes sense to hang on for something better. This may be a mistake, I don't know.

ION it is 95 and humid here, but actually cooler than most places to our North. And 95 and humid is par for the course in GA in the summer. Every day is like this. It sucks, but we do have central air.

Ach, flea, I'm sorry to hear the IBM job didn't work out. I'll keep my fingers crossed that something better comes along soon!

I think it makes sense to hang on for something better.

I'm selfishly hoping the EPA job ends up working out.

Hey, it's Friday!

What are people doing this weekend?

I have a very exciting weekend of errands and laundry and hoping the cat doesn't die planned.

I'm going to watch HP7.1 on dvd tonight, and then go see HP7.2 tomorrow, I think. Also sit with my mother, and maybe go to Home Despot and buy some plants, and do some editing.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you and your kitty, Perkins!

I have to take mine into the vet for a claw-trimming (her kneading is becoming painful), get some cooking done, cross-stitch, swim, and if it's sunny at all during the day, try and get some sun on my body over at the apartment's pool. I'm determined not to go to my brother's wedding in August as pale as a ghost.

Packing! And possibly trying to bribe friends into helping us move next weekend. (Yes, I had hoped that we were past the stage of having to ask friends to help us move, but we couldn't get professional movers until Aug 1st, which is a Monday, and we want to move as much stuff as we can on July 31st.)

Also, I want to go see The Trip, so hopefully we can fit that in.
