kismet09It's 12:30. I am done eating lunch (roast beef, cheddar, cucumbers and lettuce on Peasant White Springmill Bakery bread; Cape Cod russet chips, and an asian pear), so I could open my door, but I think I'll hide just a little bit longer.
One of my favorite kinds of weather is the just-after-a-rainstorm time. I love the smell, I love the lifting of spirits that comes when the sun peeks out, I love that it tends to cool down a bit. I hope that, if Frances brings us a storm, that the post-storm is a good one. This is also one of the reasons I wouldn't mind moving to Portland. Lots of good, post-rain weather.
My brain is not in this school year. It's on Tim finishing his dissertation and getting a job. Which is funny, since thoughts of my getting a job are absent from all these thoughts. I'm sure I will work, but I'm confident that I'll find something when I get there. This is the first time since grad school that I've had this kind of confidence. I like it.
My mind is also on travelling -- Phily for a daylong Scrabble tourney in a few weeks, Cincinnati for a conference next month, Dublin in November, back home to Chicago in December, and hopefully NYC some time before winter break, but I'm not sure how we'll fit that in.
Is it the weekend yet?
