Jul. 14th, 2004 01:41 pmI think it's been every possible shade of cloudy today. The weather says "partly cloudy", and I can't say it's wrong, because in between iterations of cloudy, it's truly gorgeous out. The breeze I was desperately hoping for yesterday is here today. I may just have to go out for a long ramble sometime later. I haven't been up North Lincoln St yet. (Which is sort of sad because I live on South Lincoln St, but everywhere I go regularly involves going up to the intersection where the street name changes and turning either left or right.)
I ordered linen yesterday for my next project, and next semester's tuition bill showed up yesterday. The way this sort of thing usually works, I pay the tuition, and then it gets refunded when the financial aid office gets around to applying loans and scholarship to it. In the meantime, though, I'm out $1978 (which I haven't got, so my parents are out $1978).
I seem to have some sort of mental block against calling the Akron airport shuttle service and finding out what it'll cost to have them pick me up in Kent. I've been reminding myself to do it for a week now, and I always seem to either forget or find something else to do instead. I seem to have broken through the barrier of worrying about money, in a way I don't like. I find myself thinking "oh well, I have a credit card, I can buy this now anyway, it doesn't matter that I can't afford rent". Granted, I'm thinking this about buying groceries, not about new clothes or anything non-essential (I do need new clothes, though), but I don't like the thought anyway.
A random sunflower sprouted in the corner of my patio, and not only did I leave it alone, I've been watering it. We haven't had enough rain lately to keep it happy. I don't know why I'm bothering to keep it happy either, except that it amuses me.
I suppose I should figure out what sort of protein goes with couscous with apricots and almonds before it gets to be dinnertime. Fortunately that's not for quite a while yet.
