Which appeared yesterday morning when I woke, ugh. I did absolutely nothing but sleep yesterday. :(
Today, however, I have:
Changed the sheets on the bed
Trimmed the lilacs, the butterfly bushes, the boxwoods and the evergreen bushes,
Vacuumed the hall carpet
Written and scheduled tomorrow's post for Bubbles & Baubles
Loaded the dishwasher
Made chili chicken
My arms are still quivering from wrangling the trimmer, and it's a light one! Tomorrow will be all inside jobs, cleaning and vacuuming and laundry and, ugh, putting clothes away. I do have some lavender plants to get in the ground, but I can do that early and then get on with staying inside where it's cool.
Cleveland Amory once said that only men could be curmudgeons. Fine. I've set out to be a curmudgeonette. I'm middle-aged, single, owned by a stubborn dog and so white bread all my clothes should say "Wonder." If it weren't for a few little quirks, I would be absolutely indistinguishable from other Midwestern females.

I don't know how you're doing because you don't update your blog.
So said Captain Crossword when I talked to him on the phone last month, and it made me face something I've been ignoring. I have been avoiding this blog, not because anything is wrong in my life, but because I felt blocked on writing about the end of the Disney adventure, and I wanted to finish that before going on to anything else. So to un-block myself, here's a summation:
The last full day of the cruise was great. The half-day at Hollywood Studios was nice, and a random guy called me "The best single-serving friend of the day." The day at Epcot was half-okay, half-not for reasons I won't go into. Princess Minnie was comped a pair of Disney princess sweatpants and SuperDonut got a set of bongo drums. I liked the luxury of the Contemporary American resort where we stated, but hated the muddy colors and all of the shapes. I flew home to eight inches of snow on my car and a dog with vestibular disorder.
The new job is still good. I feel as though I'm getting a brain workout every day, and I'm still making mistakes but trying not to beat myself up about it. I'm also trying to get back into a more professional look clothing-wise.
Little brother, I promise to be better about updating. In the mean time, have some garden pictures:
