Bwuuuugh...

I'm here super early this morning. I'd better get used to it, it sounds like this could be my new schedule for a bit. (There is a good part--if this becomes my schulde for a while my weekends will be free....Huzzah!) At least I'm better at early than late...

I need some coffee, more later when I'm all the way awake:)

Much better now...

...I'm home after a longish day at the Jade Mines:) I made some shrimp and corn chowder, and I'm stretching out on the floor with the keyboard because I'm too lazy to move my coffee table over. (Plus I don't want to spill my still-cooling chowder. Mmmm!)

With the weird schedule still, it's hard to get to a place where your brain can do something thoughtful. I'm damn tired today. part of me wants to spill out all kinds of thoughtful, complex thoughts and play around with them, toss them up in the air and see them shine, maybe play a game of verbal catch with someone. But...tired. And it's damn hot, too. I was so grateful when I got home for my air conditioner, for the popsicles in the fridge, for the lemonade-and-club-soda I made myself. (It's magical: one half club soda, one half lemonade. Cardamon sprinkled over the top if you wanna be foofy. Lots of ice. Magical, I tell ya.)

Okay, so simple pleasures aren't so bad...

Tell me tell me tell me: What are your favorite simple pleasures right now? Try not to think too hard about it...

Whoa, almost fergot!

*ahem*

There is more knitting tomorrow night at the Loring Dunn Bros...5-ish to whenever. I am almost done with a fancy-dancy black-and sherberty sock, and I'm enjoying the hell out of myself. I really love having this weekly thing of hanging out at a specific time and knitting my brains out with people and just generally enjoying the company. Last week Mamichan left us a bunch of Japanese fashion magazines, which we alternately cooed over or went, "What the hell is THIS?" Too fabulous for words.

Anyway, off to eat dinner and have a bath and all that good Mausi stuff...
