It's, um, Tuesday

Ok, I believe in global warming. Yes, I drive an SUV, but I also drive a 2 seater and a 4 door Accord. I try to drive the SUV as little as possible, but I know that I contribute to the depletion of the o-zone layer. After hubby wrecked the Honda CR-V in May, we looked at hybrids. I was doing well to get him to spend what he did...the hybrid was several $1000 more. My point, it is hot! The forecast is calling for highs in the triple digits today with a heat index of 112. Oh my. Thank you hybrid drivers of the world...it could be worse.

We took the SUV yesterday because we were going to go shopping before an appointment that I had where we used to live. We bought a couple of pieces of furniture (like we need any more furniture) and a bunch of other stuff. They are very functional pieces and nothing over the top. But, we are wanting to GIVE AWAY furniture it does sound crazy to be purchasing more. They are pieces that we needed, believe it or not. In this weather, the last thing that I wanted to do when we got home last night at 11 was unload stuff from the car. Hopefully, we will get to put them in place sometime today. But, that requires more unpacking.

I posted an ad for free boxes on our neighborhood egroups site. Hopefully, someone will get in touch with us saying they are in desperate need of boxes and will come right over. More importantly, hopefully they actually will come and get them. Ok, that was random, but it made total sense in my head.

I am sure I will update this post later, but for now...I am outta here!

Time Lapse...Edit:
I am being a total slug today. How pathetic. Let's see, what do I want to accomplish today?
- paint lower half of bathroom
- unpack boxes in master sunroom
- paint cabinets in master bathroom

There is far more available for completion. But, I am just sitting here thinking about what kinds of plants I can plant in the fall. It is way too hot to go out and work in the yard or sand and paint kitchen cabinet doors today. But, I am lying here watching reruns of Judging Amy." Hum. This is not a good sign. Three more weeks and I will have no choice but to sink or swim. I certainly hope I snap out of this funk by the time classes begin.

I begin reading a new book. "Becoming a Doctor" by Melvin Konner, MD. I have had this book for years, but I never read it. I didn't realize when I bought it that he was a non-trad as well. This adds a whole new dimension to the story. One that interests me tremendously.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have a lot on my mind right now. It appears that I am losing a battle that I have been fighting for a long time. The losing (so to speak) of this battle would not be the end of the world, but it would certainly affect more than just myself...significantly. I have a very positive person "in the know" in my life and she seems to refuse to think the battle is lost. But, there is certainly a tone in her voice that seems to say "you have such a small chance to win, but I can't bear to tell you that." I know the truth. I am in touch with reality. I almost feel worse for her than I do for myself.

Sorry for the cryptic nature of this edit, but I just don't know if this is the place to reveal something like this.

Oh well.

TTFN!
