*cheerful*

The weather is utterly perfect today. Sunshine is pouring down from the sky but there’s also a cool wind to take the edge off the heat. This is the sort of dangerous weather where it’s *so* excellent I could fool myself into thinking it wasn’t too hot and I didn’t need sunblock. Except I know better. :) I swear, I just need to live somewhere the sun shines most of the time. I had an unspeakable sunshine headache on…Sunday, I guess, but I was still cheerful. And I continue to…

bad internet, no cookie

I think the internet is sucking my will to live. I keep spending evenings staring blankly at a not-very-exciting computer screen instead of, say, going for a walk in the rare, utterly gorgeous weather we’ve been having. I think the solution here is No More Laptopping, which would be better for my shoulder anyway. I have, for a variety of reasons, utterly failed to go swimming yet this week.

FANTASY MEDLEY give-away!

I feel as though I should not need to eat for a week. I swear, the human digestive system ought to work that way. Cold-blooded animals have a certain amount going for them.

It’s a good day to be born. :) Today I will make a lemon cake (off sugar or not, I’m not denying myself a birthday cake!) and, er, probably clean the house and if I’m lucky I’ll have bbq ribs for dinner, though I suspect it’s going to end up being either ham or some wonderful thing I force…

yagh.

I am too far inside writer-head to read, apparently. I’ve picked up several books now, sort of looked at the first several paragraphs, and gone “gah, I don’ wanna”. This has absolutely no reflection on the books, and is entirely indicative of my state of mind. It also probably explains (to me, anyway) why I’ve been spending so much time dinking around with photographs and kitsnaps rather than catching up on my reading. I hope someday I’ll be interested in reading again. o.O It has been a glorious weekend thus…
