Back on track.

I spent the first full week after the last lady's departure mostly just being lazy. I relished not having to be home to do anything for anyone. I STAYED at home Friday and Saturday nights and watched movies in my underwear because I COULD. And I started scrubbing down/revamping the bathroom. I've decided each room is going to get a little bit of a make-over. In the case of the bath & kitchen it will just be small things, but the bedrooms, dining, & living will be very different soon.

But, like I said, I gave myself the week off. I also needed a week to get back into the groove at work. The last two weeks with the girls really threw off my concentration.

Also, I've been doing this full body cleanse thing and I think it's just knocking out my energy. I guess a lot of crap is coming out of my body (heh heh) but other than work, walking to work in 100 degrees, and some basic stuff around the house I'm just feeling too tired to do much else. After this cleanse is over I'm going back to Bikram. It's been a long time now, which makes me a little scared, but I just have to keep remembering how great I felt afterwards.

I seem to be easing into a natural period of eating/drinking less. It happens often in the summer but it may also be the cleanse. I had a couple beers on Sunday and they just didn't… taste right. And I often am too hot to eat anything in the summer except veggies and ice cream. This summer I am going to make so much sorbet it's going to be out of control. OUT OF CONTROL.

That said, I made some homemade salsa from the homegrown tomatoes, some hummus, pita, tortilla chips, and a chipotle dip. So I guess I'm making busy around the kitchen despite my decreased appetite. Ladies who are coming over tonight for crafting will have to help me make a dent.

Ronnie the Bear & Ernie have been needy since the girls left but it's too hot to cuddle. Tugboat doesn't give a shit. Gus, I guess, is now officially my sister's cat. I really miss him, but there is no doubt that he's happier at her house, and really four cats was too much anyway, so… sigh.

OK. Must finish lunch then get back to work.

Happy about this These United States album. I've missed new music.
