yeah, not going down to the Tidal Basin at dawn tomorrow

I passed the laundromat coming home and thought, "Well, I *could* just go there and do my laundry with a book. That way I wouldn't have to keep running up and down stairs."

But then I thought, "But it's so convenient to do it at home, and it doesn't cost me anything. And I've only got three loads--that should take me an hour and a half, two hours, tops."

Six hours later, the last of my three loads is almost done.

In future, I'm going to the laundromat.

These are the times it's important to maintain a sense of proportion.

Did I just try to pick up a piece of fruit, and in the process drop a plate with a pastrami and horseradish sandwich on the kitchen floor, as well spill half a pint glass full of milk, a good deal of which ended up on the shorts and socks I just washed last night? Why, yes, yes I did.

On the other hand, the plate didn't shatter. The glass didn't land on the deck and smash into a million pieces. And the sandwich seems to be recoverable. That *was* the last of the milk, but into each life a little rain must fall.

So, "mop kitchen floor" goes onto the list of tasks for later in the day.

But first, I'm going to go finish my lunch and then go somewhere where I can lie in the sun and read for a few hours. Because it's a really nice day. I would go biking, but after walking five and a quarter miles yesterday, my legs are a little annoyed at me. :-)

I will put on some shorts and socks first, though.

Very agreeable afternoon. Did the state taxes (money back, yay!) and spent a couple of hours lying on the grass up at the college, reading and dozing in the sun. I'll see if I can do a couple of things to get ready for next weekend's game this evening, and that will be a 5/6 completion rate for the tasks I had planned. :-)

it's Spring!

And the breeze wafting through the open windows tells me that it's Grilling Season again at 7910! :-)
