Wow, is it gorgeous out! Not that I'd know, all that much, except for the walks to and from campus...
This morning went thusly: got up, wrestled hair back into a bun again for work, went to work, sat there for two hours. Went off in search of food after work, obtained sandwich, inhaled sandwich, disappeared into library to do research. (Hopefully some of the stuff I found will actually be stuff I want, since I'm writing one paper on exoticism and Chateaubriand and another on contrasting translation theories.) Emerged from library after an hour and then some, observed that it's gorgeous out, and came home to wait for the UPS man, who either hasn't been here yet or who has been here and didn't leave one of those redelivery notices.
I'm waiting for the UPS man because the box he's supposed to be delivering has very important things in it. Namely, ten pounds of sushi rice (which Ohio has never heard of) and my teddy bear, who managed to get left in the living room when I moved. He was with the pile of stuff to be put in the car, but I had my hands full when I went downstairs and I forgot to remind anyone else to get him. I assumed that since I knew he was important, everybody knew he was important. Oops.
I sort of wish there was a convenience store around here somewhere. Going to the grocery store is dangerous, because going there to get milk always turns into "milk, and some of this, and some of that, and oh look, I haven't had those in ages, and hmm, this is on sale, and..." and then I wind up spending more money than I wanted to and giving myself sore shoulders hauling everything home. Exercise is good for me, but overspending is not good for my budget.
I seem to be sleeping better, but a lot less, lately. Sooner or later, I suspect it'll catch up with me and I'll be falling asleep in my reading again.

Date: 2003-09-10 01:37 pm (UTC)I remember walking to the store when I was in college. I'd be going for just a couple of small things, and when I got home I'd have tired and sore arms form all the other things I picked up that weren't on the list.
