What a gorgeous Easter Sunday this has turned out to be. The sun is shining and there�s a slight breeze. I�m sitting outside on my (tiny) deck, my feet propped up, laptop in lap (heh), drinking water nearby, enjoying the day. The sky is clear; there�s not a cloud as far as I can see. (Of course, there are a lot of trees and other buildings, so it�s not like I can see for miles or anything.) The wind picks up every once in a while, blowing the tree branches around, rattling the leaves (which are a pain to sweep up from said deck). It�s the perfect time to let my just-washed hair dry naturally. I used to do this all the time � sit outside and let my hair dry, taking the time to relax for about an hour. Now I wash it in the morning and let it dry as I go about my work. My granny used to say that if it was sunny on Easter Sunday, it would be sunny the next 7 Sundays. I never had enough of an attention span to actually count and see if that works. Anyone else ever heard that? All I hear right now is an airplane overhead, the wind in the trees, and birds singing. Occasionally the sound of traffic gets through, but not too much. There�s quite a bit of air traffic today � I hear a helicopter and another plane, too. When I�m done, I�ll pop back inside the house and post this. But sometime I might actually spring for an airport base, so I can be wireless throughout the house. Aw, yeah! I had quite an industrious morning. J is home, so I dropped him at the 2nd job (yes, he has to cook today; it sucks). I immediately commenced the garage cleaning that I�ve been dying to do. A girlfriend offered to let me drop a bunch of garage sale junk at her house, since they plan to do one in the next few weeks. Yay! I�ve got everything ready to load in the truck and take it over there. Since J quit as a mechanic, we�ve had his toolbox sitting in the middle of the garage. We have to make room for it so we can go back to parking a vehicle in there. Whatever doesn�t sell goes to goodwill. If they don�t want any of it (which I doubt), the trash takes it. I�m trying to horde less and toss more. Hell, I�m trying not to acquire much more! We live in such a small place, I need more efficient storage, not more stuff. I have my eye on a wardrobe at Ikea that would work perfectly for J. He has such big clothes that a teeny dresser doesn�t do the job. They have a model with sliding doors, which is great for our limited space. Now I just have to convince him to go with me and get it. wink Been away from the computer a lot the last few days, as you can probably tell. It�s quite nice, actually. Lots of hanging out with a girlfriend whose husband is also gone a lot. I don�t know what I�ll do when she moves in the next year or so. Damn. Anyway, that�s enough long-windedness for one sitting. A review of a recent concert is up next.
