The Good, the Bad, and the Tiresome
The Good: I got out of the house on Saturday! hasufin was in the area and kindly took me to a tea shop, where I had mango bubble tea and some tea eggs. I was in a bit of a fog that day and not really very good at socializing, but Hasufin patiently overlooked that. (Tea verdict: Bubble tea was worth trying; tea eggs are worth trying again.)
I watched movies! On DVD over the weekend, I saw The Secret of Roan Inish and Contact, neither of which I had seen before and both of which I enjoyed very much.
We've had rain! Monday morning I thrilled to the beautiful music of the falling rain. There was only light-to-moderate rain throughout most of the area and we're still well below normal rainfall for the month, but it was something.
I got out of the house on Monday! It was just a trip to return movies & books, then check out books and another movie. At least I did get out to enjoy what was probably the most pleasant weather of the week.
I made it to the Tuesday farmer's market! The market was busier this week than last, though the farmers would undoubtedly like to have even more customers at the little market. Got there too late to buy any of the last of the black raspberries, but blueberries are still going strong and both apricots and plums are now in season. Another farmer had some early corn and cheerfully told potential customers all about his experiments in planting this year (it's probably fair to say that he's not just a farmer--he's a farming geek). So I spent some time chatting with farmers, saying hello to a customer who's a vendor at a different market, and admiring the Phantom petunias, before finally purchasing bi-color corn, blueberries, and some fabulous apricots.
The Bad: For several days now, I've felt as if my entire body were swelling up. At first there wasn't much pain aside from my left ankle, but I was terribly uncomfortable all the same. Now this morning, my legs and back are hurting quite a lot, particularly my knees and ankles. Also, my throat hurts and my brain is seriously foggy.
The Tiresome: We're getting above-average temperatures and high humidity again. At least we're not expecting to break any records this week, though we did tie the high minimum temperature a few days ago. The weekend should be an improvement, with temperatures about where they should be this time of year.

Also, I think that The Secret Garden (the 1993 version, with Dame Maggie Smith) is in the same vein as The Secret of Roan Inish.
