* Flow charts are such lovely, motionful things. Just when I cannot motivate myself to accomplish slipping my sandals I begin such a chart and it really does move. The chart. Feet still bare.
* I ventured out into the garden on an at last cool day with thunder miles away. "Wellllll. If I disconnect these 4x4's, turn them around, get more soil, I can double the size of the perennial bed." Sandals on, no SPF, a long hunt for a Phillips. The job not totally done when the rain comes, I realize (and make my room mate guess) what I have not planned for. I have eliminated the exit from the shed path for the lawn mower. Anyone have sheep for sale?
* Do not tell anyone but I have been watching a particular movie over and over again, repeatedly, for a month. My go-to background sound. I know all the dialogue and hum the music. It takes place in '45 and boy, do I want to seductively pull cigarettes from a silver case. My sinuses fill just thinking about inhaling and creating rings. Garter belts and stockings, no rigid shoulder pads in this movie. When I set the director conversation mode I find out the little packets in the bathroom drawer contain '45 condoms. When the action finally begins no condoms are used. Taken from a book, I analyze the decisions to subtract plot elements for the movie. Must. Go. Watch.......

yes...hot
* Ah, yes. Summer. 90 dee grees. I deeply question my January-in-the-cold decision to forego installation of a new AC system (current one was born in 1989). Considered a sound economic strategy (arrived at while wading through a foot of snow). I find I am playing AML's game of 'well then what do you like?' every 5 minutes. I migrate from the west side of the house to the east side and back again throughout the day, searching for that nirvana cool spot. The dog no longer sleeps on the bed but finds refuge on the tile floor. Well then. What do I like?
^cut flowers on a book table, in sight when I wake up
^ice
^juice pops
^bird song in the morning
^immersing myself in books read ages ago and revisited
^veg from a CSA which forces me to eat things I would not necessarily buy and eat
^darkened rooms saturated in sweet, soothing smells
^rising with the bird song, getting chores done, driving through the still sleeping city
^which reminds me of visiting new cities and walking in the early hours as it wakes up
^hibernating throughout the day then creeping out just before dark and a little past dark
^supplying water to dogs, plants, me
^breathing, breathing
