Movie Day

If ever there was a good day to curl up and watch a movie, this is it. We're into our third (at least) straight day of weird misty weather and no sunshine. I'm not complaining; family and friends up north are dealing with much crappier weather. At least it's not super-hot, a good thing since my heat pump will only circulate air, not heat or cool it. My new unit is sitting in boxes in my house, waiting to be installed later today or early tomorrow. Then I will be able to climate-control my environment! Amazing the things we take for granted until we are without them, particularly when the temperature (inside the house) is fifty degrees one day and nearly eighty the next. I'm happy that, despite the lack of sunshine, the weather for the last few days has been temperate, and giving up control hasn't been too uncomfortable.

Still, it is a bleak day and if I could relax long enough, I would watch a movie. However, my allergic reaction from Saturday reared its ugly head again on Monday, and I could no longer avoid taking the steroids the doctor had prescribed. They make me anxious, jumpy, and flushed. I feel like I have to keep moving but break out in a clammy sweat when I do anything too strenuous. My grading is all caught up and I'm bored. I suppose purging all my size eight clothes might be a good activity for the day, not too physical demanding but possibly emotionally charged, since I'm finally admitting I'll never fit into them again. Actually, I acknowledged that a while ago -- or at least I decided that if I'm ever a size eight again I can buy new clothes.

So off I go to organize my room and pass some gently used clothing (and probably other items) on to those who have a need for them (and can fit into them). Maybe I'll put a movie on while I work. Or not.
