In the summertime the weather is fine. You can stretch your hands and touch the sky

Its raining cats and dogs (read severe thunder storm) and for once I'm
without my trusty green umbrella in my purse. And for once I decided
not to dash out madly in the rain. Since I stopped in the library to
return my books, I stopped to potter around in the library and now I'm
stuck. There is no power but hey! my blackberry has been stepping up
lately. Without a TV and internet, my blackberry has been my go to for
email, blogging, Pandora, iheartradio, the news and the occasional
youtube video. When I first decided to get rid of my internet
connection at home I figured it would help me get over my Netflix addiction to
"Psych" (How could anyone not love Shawn and Gus and their antics). But, as always, you move from
one addiction to another and I have gone back to my old love: reading.
Except this addiction is worse, I don't eat, I don't sleep, I ignore
my chores and only do what is most essential. All I do is read one
book after another. Meanwhile, I've lost my appetite and eat maybe
once a day. Yesterday, I found my self eating a big bowl of frozen
yogurt just to increase my calorie intake to 1000 calories. Maybe, this
"go back to a simpler life" is not a policy that I should
embrace. I think its time to put down the book I'm reading. Move the
six books that are sitting on one side of my bed. Unpack all my stuff
from the move (its been 8 days and most of my things are in boxes. And
I'm getting tired of finding only blouses and tops and no pants or
skirts), set up my kitchen, get some groceries, cook healthy food, clean my car and take
some steps towards the next phase of my life.
