Update-type entry
Wow, have I actually not posted anything here this month? I must rectify that, yes indeed.
So, we had an April Fool's Day this weekend. Most pranks vaguely annoy me, but I must admit I enjoyed Google Romance (pointed out by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
technomensch). This morning, supergee pointed out a post speculating that George W. Bush may be descended from Aleister Crowley, which is one of those things a lot of people would like to believe. But as a C.S. Lewis geek, my favorite April 1 post has to be "Enter Into Thy Closet": A neglected aspect of the life and works of C.S Lewis, which may well be the start of a completely serious branch of CSL scholarship.
In personal news, just before the last of my scheduled dental visits, my gums decided to become really hypersensitive again. I know that my teeth are not falling out, and the pain is receded enough that I can think of it as an annoyance rather than a major stress, but I'm still not thrilled with my mouth's pranks right now.
On April 1, most of the housemates got together and cleaned out the kitchen. Hooray! The work was disgusting, but the group effort made it fun. There was one pot of food in the refrigerator which was very scary and the only person who would touch it was an Army guy who demonstrated great valor by escorting the enemy mold out of the house.
Have had wildly fluctuating energy levels the last few days. Not sure what's up with that, but I've managed to get some walking in each day anyway. Yesterday was much warmer & more humid than expected, yet still not a bad day for wandering around the neighborhood. Things that stick in the mind: walking past a policeman who smelled very strongly of baby powder, watching kids on swings singing "I Believe I Can Fly," and violets & dandelions taking over people's yards.
I'm taking time to relax today so I'll have energy to deal with bureaucracy tomorrow. That's the plan, anyway.
