puddling

humid, mid 90s weather has changed my whole routine. It's saturday, and I was active before noon. Playing with the dogs, cleaning house and watering plants where I was housesitting, helping with the SPEA backyard habitat...but since then, I'm totally unmotivated. It took me hours to make myself eat anything besides cottage cheese- the thought of cooking and adding heat to my apartment was horrifying (yay microwaves). I tried to read but fell asleep and was sweating in my dreams. I don't want to go anywhere because it involves getting in the hot car or walking in the hot sun. But after I finish this blog I will stop complaining, get into a pool or some air conditioning (maybe a grocery store, since all my food requires cooking?), and be happy.

Dog-sitting/house-sitting was fun, but reminds me why I don't have a dog now. I'm not yet willing to be that responsible. I'd rather be a dog sitter than hire one.

Read Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood last week. I miss all my ya yas! Bride and Prejudice is now playing in town and I don't know of anyone here who can truly appreciate it. But fall will bring back my friends who have a taste for both Jane Austen and bollywood!

Monday and Tuesday will be my first official sampling trip in NW Indiana. In my current state, I'm looking forward to being on the water and going north.
