The sky is beginning to weep now. It hasn't done enough of that lately. Here in the Miami Valley (of Ohio), there's no drought yet, but I know that weather in other parts of the country has been severe - droughts followed by floods that cover roadways but can't quench the long-parched earth.
Today is a quivering, exciting day. I'm not quite sure why, either. Unlike my writing frenzy of Saturday, today's fervor was not caffeine-induced. My body woke at 6:15. The sun was out as I opened my eyes, and I was confused to look at the clock and see I had almost an hour more to sleep. So, of course, at 7:10 when my mom's cell phone started screaming at me, I was tired. (I stayed at the 'rents' house last night to drink margaritas and play cards with the Mama and because my beloved worked until midnight. He works late tonight and tomorrow night, but we will hang out properly on Wed-nezz-day.) I got to work on time, wearing my groovy (old and peeling shades).
Maybe it's the weather. The cool front preceding today's drizzle must have energized me. The past days were so warm that I imagine even the flies were tired from buzzing around in the heat. This respite from what I imagine will be a sweltering summer got me really moving this morning. I made a list of the 17 classes I'd be happy to take to complete my MA (and I only need 10 of them), I wrote an e-mail to the head of the the English Grad Studies Dept to see about setting up a meeting and/or getting the PIN needed to register, I paid my parking ticket (and filed an appeal), I chatted (as usual) with friends, had a meeting with the lovely Jeanne, finished up a project for her, I left a message for the vet to finally get Kaylee de-girl-ified, and I'm now whittling away at what remains of the pile of work in my afternoon office.
My Caro sent me this link, about books. It tickled me. And reading it made me want to share it with you all. I laughed with the author, nodded a lot, and then just wanted to smack him around for being a high-minded twit.
I'm glad I can still see some balance in the NYT.
Love to you all, and a strangely Happy Monday!

I find it unnerving when I wake up with feelings for the day that have no reason. You were quivering with exictiment, I was tensed with dread. So far I've had a couple of minor dreadful things happen, so hopefully that was it. Minor I can live with. Have fun!
