Smatterings

Mid-week and the weather is more akin to August than September. Hot and humid with a dash of muggy on the side, just enough for a nice dish of headache with a side of hair frizzies.

Grumpy? Not really, just trying to get through the week with a sinus infection. I tried to ignore it for about ten days, hoping it would go away with antibiotics, but it's come back full force and I am doing things like going to bed at 8:00 and waking up at 2:00 with a pounding head.

This in turn, makes me very lethargic and hungry - that weak, shaky feeling that demands to be fed carbs and sugars. So suddenly, I am eating things I haven't consumed in over two years.

And that makes me grumpy. 

Has anyone but me noticed that my last three posts have been about food? Good grief, I'd better watch out or I'll have a closetful of nothing-fits.

In other news, Mr. Pom and I are enjoying a beautiful evening on the porch. Candles and fairy lights are lit. The air, declares The Teen, smells like summer. The puppoli are getting "furminated" by The Teen,  after she and I gave them lick-and-a-promise doggie baths in the backyard after work. This consists of me spraying them with the hose while The Teen holds the leash with one hand and shampoos with the other. Labs aren't supposed to get baths too often, but when they come home doggie day care, they often stink to high heaven.

Still crazy here with bathroom reno bids, frantic calls, emails, and faxes about various issues about the Cape Cod house (HOW much to install gas??), getting ready for Art Is, which always coincides with the latest magazine submission (as if I didn't know all the dates a year in advance and did NOT have to volunteer to make 75 journal covers....), and trying to get organized for The Teen's college visits and college apps.

Calgon take me away!

Or at least remind me to buy a chocolate bar on the way home.
