(no subject)
news:
my grandma died. so sad, so horrible.
i got a brand new car (2010 toyota corolla, it rules)
i love my fieldwork
my fieldwork loves me
my house is a mess (not so much news, just the day-to-day status quo, but it's on my mind...)
it's hot out (heat index of 105-110 today) and jay refuses to put a goddamn a/c in every year. i haven't had a/c in an apartment in 5 years. it really, really sucks.
my desk is a mess (see above - house is a mess)
i had a great time last night out to dinner with new friends. fun, fun. and yum, yum.
i'm just not very interested in a lot of things anymore. is this good? is this me growing? is this me moving beyond and saying goodbye? i don't know. it just is.
i'm going on vacation to the outer banks in NC for a week. a friend & i rented a condo on the beach. i have stocked up with bathing suits & beach chairs & sunscreen & sun hats. i am ready. so ready.
there are a lot of mosquito bites on my legs.
some other things:
the folks upstairs (our landlords, they have 2 kids i babysit for) apparently have a new babysitter. i just saw her pick up the kids. so, we live here because 1) we like the location (rural, etc), 2) rent is cheap-ish b/c it's supplemented with babysitting.
well, we were woken at 6am today (SATURDAY, IF YOU'RE WONDERING!) because the kids were dragging chairs around, playing with a bouncy ball, and just stomping & jumping on the floors. i'm not even kidding. awful, loud, inconsiderate. if they have a new babysitter, the rent isn't terribly cheap-ish, plus the freaking noise has gotten unbearable.
do we move? do we go through this again?
probably not, but it's awfully tempting. especially since there are soo many nice apartments in the area for rent right now...
