Updatey thing
Saturday, September 17th, 2011 03:10 pmWednesday: As expected after a day as tiring as Tuesday, Wednesday was the sort of day when I am forced to rest all day. Plenty of books kept me company, so that was okay. I did feel frustrated, dealing with an urge to declutter my room because I can finally see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel and I want this place livable again--but I simply didn't have the energy to do much, so I stopped fighting the need to nap.
Thursday: Braved the scary closet and took out some things to be cleaned. That evening, I was very glad to have cleaned warm clothes and one of my afghans (without having anything shrink that shouldn't be shrunken) before the cooler weather came through.
September has been noticeably cooler than August right from the beginning, which has been a welcome thing after the hellishly hot summer we had. Still, Thursday began as a fairly warm & humid day. At 3:00 p.m. the temperature was roughly 77° F (25° C) and, as I said, humid. By five, it was around 65/18 and seriously breezy. Two hours after that, something like 55/13, with the temperature continuing to go down. At the farmers' market, the weather was not exactly ideal for outdoor sales, what with scattered rain showers coming through and one good wind gust making one of the tents do a somersault in the parking lot. Still, it was enough better than last week that most vendors stayed till closing time rather than packing up early. I was happy making myself useful at various times during the day. At sunset, glowing bands of red and orange stretched east to touch and mingle with the colors of the biggest unbroken rainbow I've ever seen. The rainbow didn't leave the sky until the sun's rays could no longer reach that far into the sky. I'm afraid the "Ooh, pretty" effect swallowed up all my usefulness for a while, but I was so happy for that sunset rainbow.
Friday: Spent most of day reading assorted books (last book finished: Sarah Sentilles, Breaking Up with God: A Love Story). Did more laundry. Got out of the house and walked a few blocks in the evening because I could hear the candy bars calling me.
Saturday: This is an excellent day to sit inside drinking lots of tea. Russian Caravan, anyone?
