A house full of stuffy heat makes it awfully hard to do things. Or, rather, it's awfully hard to do things that I should be doing (laundry, vacuuming my floor) instead of things that are - well, potentially useful, but not how I should be spending my time right now (sorting my books). On the plus side, I have a lot more free floor space now that my books are no longer in random piles, and are I have been able to begin the process of culling things for selling and/or donation.

My to-do list remains undone, and has mutated from a "do today (Saturday)" list, to a "do this weekend" list, and finally, a "do this week please" list. XD;; But that's okay. I still have time to get done what I need to. And taking a day or two off at the beginning of summer is all right in my book.

And it's been a pretty good start to the summer, so far. After I returned from the conference, I floundered a bit, not sure how to redirect my energies and get back to everything I'd shoved aside in the past couple of weeks. Unsurprisingly, being unproductive made me feel discouraged at first. But things turned up as the week went on.

To keep those good things in the forefront of my mind during the coming week, here's a happy 5 list:

1. Finally catching up at work from the days I was out of the office - take that, backlogged inbox!

2. Successfully donating blood on Friday - the last couple of times I tried, my iron was too low to donate, so I'm extra-pleased it worked (even if it did leave me feeling worse than usual).

3. Being roused out of my heat-induced stupor yesterday and spirited away to Uwajimaya by kyonkun and aznridah - which allowed me to stock up on my yellow-girl foods (like grass jelly and sticky rice). Does my little heart good.

4. Getting spirited away again to casaval's house, where we Rock Band-ed the night away - I finally got back to feeling comfortable on the drums, and ready to work through Hard level again.

5. Pride Parade today, followed by lunch with redbird, laylah, mahokiwi, and cadence.
