Ow, Sara!

Yeah, I couldn't tell you the last time I washed windows. Definitely not since we moved into this house. Maybe if we're here another five years, I'll think about it.

I think I've washed a window since I moved in. Maybe two.

Thanks for the offer, Ginger. I would take you up on it, but it's been revised by my sister & DH already, and then read and declared done by another person. So I am embracing "Done" and letting it go.

Opera was very good. The key was it was in such a small space. And the soprano was amazing, as were the bass and the baritone.

Ignore what my cluttered coffeetable looks like, I've got a tinge of cleanfreak to me. Not that I judge other places (unless it stinks and unidentified lifeforms are taking over, I don't rail at other peoples' dust bunnies and kitty-snotted windows, just my own) I just like to keep ahead of my grime by a certain amount.

The battle between me and clutter, however, is one of equilibrium, damnit.

Um, I have just discovered I got sunburnt today from the 2 hours leaves-ing. In places, through my shirt. Huh.

I hate this kind of traveling. We hit fog in Amarillo, where we'd decided we didn't need to stop, and drove in minimal visibility, stopping at a rest stop (and not a gas station where there's, you know, food)to change drivers, all the way to glorious Elk City, OK. Where we arrived just after ten on a Sunday and therefore everything is closed. Which is fine, because I had packed a bag with grapes and salsa and cheesebread. Except that the ice pack leaked gel all over the cooler bag and therefore I had to toss the grapes and salsa. I salvaged the cheesebread, thank goodness.

But the SO just had to make an emergency gas station run for beef jerky and nuts and Sprite, because I am not going to survive on cheesebread alone.

Oh, well, we're here safely. Only seven hours of driving tomorrow.

I have helped to fold all the clothes! While watching the Avengers (yes. first time I'm watching it. I'm embracing my shut in life and resubscribing to netflix). Now I have to put all the clothes.

Liese, may tomorrow be better.

Only reason I saw Avengers, Ironman, Sherlock and all the rest (all of them, whatever was out) was I was stuck in the middle seat on a flight from Sydney to Dallas. Films seen since then? After Midnight, playing at the local film society theater when visiting my parents this summer, they usually see one a week.

I probably won't see another movie until family takes me or I'm on a plane for a looooong time.

Aw, Liese, that's a tough break.

This load of laundry is never going to get dry, and there's another one waiting to go in the dryer. My angst is so banal.
