Domesticities
Got out to the super yesterday and stocked up on hot weather food (cold cuts, lettuce, bread). Got home as the black clouds came barrelling in from the north. In spite of which I don't think it started raining until much later. Today was drier and breezy, but the sidewalks are still yellow from both the lindens and the maples, so I stayed in and was moderately productive: dishes, laundry, vacuuming up the seedlets in the front hallway...
Being unwontedly limber, I got downstairs to weigh myself before breakfast. Not as bad as I'd feared, not as good as I'd hoped. And I strongly suspect that I've dropped a kilo or so in the last few days, what with the appetite killing/ water drinking hot weather, and a noticeable lack of coffee shops and their pastries. Balanced by gin and fizzy drinks, but the gin is almost all gone now and won't be replaced.
My Pride flag fell down when one of the elastics holding it snapped so I brought it inside and hung it in the front window where it catches the setting sun. Also blocks the view so I can hang my laundry from the living room chandelier and not feel self-conscious. Laundry bingo is a necessity in this house. The basement gets damp and moldy in the summer so I can't hang things on the lines down there too long, but I don't want to put my underwear on the lines outside, supposing it's safe to hang anything there. (It may be now: can't see any cherries left and the birds seem to have departed.) So it's wheel hangers from the Korean super for underwear until we get back to furnace time. Never did like putting underwear in the dryer, since heat eats the elastic.
