The Desert

Apologies for the long absence. I'm still adjusting to having moved, and Applications are taking up all my time. Today, finally, I've got most of them out. YAY. Now I wait with bated breath.

Not much to report. Life is slow here. I'm still operating mostly on US time, but that's OK with me. I like the silent house at night. One gets used to silence and night when one lives alone, even learns to like it. The TV situation is better than it used to be, though still not what it is in Boston. And, I miss the Pats. Tomorrow should be an interesting game. I would like to see how Foxboro welcomes Adam Vinateri back. I'm hopeful after last week's game, but then not having watched a single game this season means I really don't know what I'm talking about.

I have found a new hobby: reading Blogs. Yes, reading blogs. Not all of them are self-indulgent journals like mine, and make for rather good reading! Of course, this means I stare at things all day long, the TV, the computer screen, my parents...reminds me of a Roald Dahl poem I once read about kids watching TV. Now I can't remember it at all.

I'm allergic to dust, which makes living in the desert a real trip. And it seems the allergens have finally caught up to me. This last week has been one continuous sinus headache. The weather is still muggy out, though we're starting to get a cooler breeze at night that makes it seem balmy rather than muggy. Its an important distinction.

I miss fall/winter. I know that sounds crazy to those of you facing the New England winter, but I do.

OK...that's it for now. Now that apps are mostly over I'm going to start making this blog more substantive, or at least try to anyway.

Happy Weekend!
