a day for me

Ah, bliss! Nothing particular to do today. I was going to mow, but it really doesn't need it. I think I would much rather have the day to do whatever I feel would be interesting and fun.

My kitty is home from the vet, on the mend, I think. He had a distended bladder, but so far he has been able to pee unassisted. I wouldn't know how to assist him, but I was told to monitor this. He has medicine, and is being very good about taking it.

I have been getting used to my new regimen. I forget bits and parts of it, there are so many things to remember to do. Excuse me while I go measure my air flow. Okay, all done. I think it will be impossible to really rid my house of dust mites and cat dander. But I can certainly get an air filter for my bedroom, change the furnace filter regularly, vacuum more often and wear a mask if I am doing really dusty things. Many be I can get some covers for my mattress and pillows. The mites are the most revolting things for me. And I am having the air vents cleaned and the mold issue assessed next week. I think mainly I was overcome by all these allergens whilst being in a weakened state due to sinus and lung infection.

Last night was a concert for the chamber chorale and the chamber winds. It was pretty good, rather fun. We went to JN's house afterwards to have cake for his birthday. It was a small group, but it was pleasant chit chat.

I have two interviews this week and an additional phone interview with a place in Fayetteville TN. That would likely be inconvenient, but I don't think they will be paying anything close to what I want in salary. Anyway, I am trying to get psyched up for them, and I have a hair appointment Tuesday morning.

I have been reading a book by Charles Kuralt from CBS, the man who drove around in a winnebago shooting interesting and unusual bits of news. It is pretty interesting. In the mean time I have amassed some more potter criticism books and I am looking forward to getting into them. There is a strong theme of alchemic lore in the Potter books, and many of the references they cite are things I have read before, either during the Templar binge of a few years ago, or the more recent infatuation with Joseph Smith. Once in a while,the various interests I have, usually quite disparate from one another, sort of connect into a whole. I love those times. I do wish I could express them better, but the main example of such a time was in college when all the bits of literature, history and art all emerged into one. I was aware for the first time of the whole picture of civilization, everything made sense. A moment of clarity. An epiphany. The most I can find to say at such a moment is "Wow. How cool!"

Now I am tired of typing and its time to do something with my day. So I shall find a nice picture and stop.
