adjusting the scales
This week had some serious downs -- part of the reason that I fell behind on posting -- but there were also enough ups to even it out, or mostly so. I guess everything balances out in the end, more or less.
Took yesterday evening and today off from working on the dissertation prospectus / grant proposals / manuscripts to do a couple of other things just for relaxation purposes. I saw Angels and Demons, which fulfilled every expectation I had for it (and by that statement you can probably tell I wasn't expecting much), and did a little clothes shopping. I've been avoiding the latter for months now, but it was finally necessary.
I also need to go shoe shopping, but I want to very carefully allocate myself a set budget and timespan before I do. I know my own weaknesses, okay? (That said, the fact that DSW Shoe Warehouse is having a giant clearance sale is threatening my resolve....)
Tomorrow is yardwork day, because it's very much needed. My goal is to get up early early early so that I can have a reasonable amount done before the temperature gets back up to 100, like it did today.
Wish me luck!
