I'm back from the road trip to OH, which was beautiful, and already it feels unreal, like it was a month ago instead of yesterday that I spent 8+ hours driving. The weather today is glorious, and since our air conditioner decided to stop working anyway, I have determined to spend as much of this day outdoors with the sibs as possible. Only hitch: as usual before we put our foot outside the house, we have to pick up and clean. Bother it.

If we ever get out of here, I'm going to the park to throw a Frisbee around, and then I'm going swimming in the neighborhood pool. My tan's all fading, and I need to do something about that before school starts again. I can't come back from summer looking like a recently-released convict!

I also need to go to the library later. I'm paying fines on books I haven't read yet. I was planning to read them today, but we'll see how that goes with the lovely weather and all. I may just turn them in unread. I have their bibliographic information if I want to take them out again in the future.

A lot's been happening in my mental life - too much to even start putting down right now. If I have more time later, I may delve into some of that.   ¶ 8:10 AM
