FIRST OFF, A MEME:

THE RULES:
• Post this meme and your current wallpaper on your Dreamwidth
• Explain in five sentences or less why you chose it
• Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!

( I am kind of predictable, tbh. )

SECOND OFF, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY. You guys, it's like. A thousand degrees here. (No, seriously. The actual temp topped out at around 91F, and the RealFeel topped out around 100F. I seriously thought that I was going to die.

So I did the smart thing, and spent a large portion of the day cleaning while mona watched Legend of the Seeker on my couch. And then she went home and I made bagels.

Because clearly, the thing to do when it's sweltering hot, is heat up the house even more by boiling water and running the oven. :| And then because the oven was already on, I took out the pizza dough that's been sitting in the fridge for... twoiish weeks? Maybe three? And made pizza to see if it was still good. (Yes, yes it was.) AND THEN. THEN I ATE DINNER. AT MY KITCHEN TABLE. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I MOVED HERE.

I WAS LIKE A REAL ADULT.

Now I'm, you know. Eating cornbread in bed while I watch TV and try to decide if that rattly noise is just a rattly noise, or if it's a fly stuck in my window that needs killing. But whatever.

I still need to clean my bedroom and the bathroom, and do one more surface clean of the kitchen, so that I can be all ":D? :D? LOOK AT HOW CLEAN MY APARTMENT IS :D? :D?" at soleta and kate. But I am hoping I can get that done tomorrow while mona is here (apparently I get shit done better when there's someone around temporarily for me to ignore, because I am a terrible person I AM FAIRLY SURE SHE DOES NOT MIND THOUGH SO I AM NOT A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE PERSON) so the only thing I have to do on Thursday morning is take the animals to the dog and the cat to the vet because Robin needs shots and Lacey's eyes are acting up again.

wtf my left arm is covered in bruises how did this happen

Last night, internet, it was so hot and muggy I almost died. It was so hot that I couldn't fall asleep. And, well. I considered getting out of bed to set up my fan, but decided it would be much more effective to moan at the internet about it. (It was not.) BUT EVENTUALLY I FELL ASLEEP.

The pretty great thing about the weather being so awful, though, is that instead of being FULL OF RAGE when there's no hot water (ie, five days a week), I am just like "AWESOME, A NICE COOL SHOWER :D :D :D" So, you know. There's that.

Also, I am slowly getting the dog used to going outside and, you know, sticking near me instead of fucking off to wherever the fuck he wants. Mostly through the clever mechanism of always carrying a tennis ball around so that he's mostly going ":D! :D! THROW THE BALL!! :D! :D! COME ON!! :D!!!!!!" instead of "FUCK YEAH BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE DAY: In doing the crossword, I only needed the RQ to figure out that "Equestrian nobleman?" was MARQUIS DE SADDLE. I am pretty awesome, internet. And also, I lol'd for like five minutes. Because puns are hilarious. :(

THOUGHTS ON DOCTOR WHO (PROBABLY NONSPOILERY UNLESS YOU ARE A FREAK IN WHICH CASE I AM SORRY BUT I DO NOT CARE): Amy is fucking awesome and her manhandling Eleven around sort of made up for the whole "Hello, my name is Matt Smith and my face looks like a foot" thing. ONLY SORT OF, THOUGH. BECAUSE REALLY, I WOULD PREFER IT IF AMY WERE BEING AWESOME WITH, well. Anyone else, really.

It has been very very hot here, so I have been not posting in any of my journals, preferring to lie around moaning about how hot it is. I managed to give myself heatstroke (I ASSUME) by taking a nap. Stupid sun, stupid puking, stupid everything.

NOT STUPID:

Today is the first day that I get to pick up my goat milk! On the one hand, it's an hour away now. On the other hand, milk I can actually use! I'm going to leave in a little bit, since I'm not sure what time the milking gets done and I don't want to get there too early.

Man, I'm going to make cheese and ice cream and tons of stuff. :D :D :D
