Transience

weekend update with Rachel

Do any of you find yourselves humming "Lovely Rita, Meter Maid" all day long? I do, and it's getting freaking annoying.

I just scored 30/30 on the Books are my Friend quiz. And I only guessed on 3 or 4 questions.

Heard from someone promising on Match today. Hmm. Both this one & the boy showed up just after I did major reorganizing/cleaning in my bedroom. Maybe there's something to this feng shui stuff? Oh - on Thursday while cleaning, I realized that it's been less than a month since we had the misunderstanding. So I'm waiting little longer before initiating contact with TheBoy again, since I get the feeling he has some timeframe in mind, though he hasn't told me what it is. I'm hoping we can still hang out and be friends, but I guess that's up to him. I'm certainly not pinning all my hopes for the future on him, but then again, I never was. Oh well. Since Thursday's cleaning, this is the most relaxed and ok that I've felt about the situation since that fateful day.

Today I had a croissant at Bread & Chocolate (their "Florentine" is divine), wandered around the Renaissance Fair for several hours and enjoyed a lot of good people watching as I navigated huge puddles and mud, bought a lovely raku pot with ginko leaves on it at the aforementioned fair, took a nap which ran so late that I skipped church, read more of Freakonomics, watched the Simpsons, watched Desperate Housewives, and putzed around on the computer.

Yesterday evening I was hacking up a lung, after breathing too much dust during my closet-cleaning extravaganza. The upstairs (especially the office) looks terrible, but my room is much more organized (though not yet done) & it feels good to be so productive. Now I just need to keep my motivation high, so the house doesn't stay like this.
