Indian Summer

OK, I remember hearing it's not Indian Summer until it gets hot AFTER you've had a frost. We haven't yet, but it's back to H-H-H (hazy, hot and humid). Don't know why I made the kids pancakes for dinner tonight (at 9 p.m., but better late than never), cuz now I'm positively dripping. Oh, well.

My new favorite show, "Weeds," comes on in a few minutes. I'm trying not to get sucked into new shows -- school starts for me this week and the last thing I need to be doing is camping in front of the TV. Still, I'm excited to see how "Lacey" fares this week..., eh?

Threw away some slip covers this week -- my mother had made them years ago for me -- but she had made them after she'd been drinking, and the measurements were never quite right and they never really fit. It was very freeing to throw them away....and get rid of that reminder. And now that mom isn't drinking any more (thanks to her brain cancer), that's not a concern any more. "Be careful what you wish for," the popular saying goes. Or, perhaps God's answer to our prayers isn't what we envisioned it would be?

Looking forward to re-connecting with my advisor on Weds. Meanwhile, the registrar assigned me to a different ("new," to him) advisor -- was not aware I already had one -- despite my application information stating same. Bureaucracy -- incompetence -- synonyms?

And finally, I got a hug from a woman in the Presbytery office today who heard about the "bump" (she actually said) in my life! I have never hugged this woman before in my life, but apparently, now that I'm facing separation/divorce, I'm huggable. Not sure why I'm so bitchy tonight, I don't think I really feel that way. Just thinking of things to comment on.... Saying "all is right with the world" makes for a pretty short blog....
