ellarienHaving spent the weekend going to Phoenix, I'm taking a day off work to prepare for my vacation. So far I've done laundry, picked up the mail, paid the rent, and done battle with the Internets to book a train to London and a hotel there. (Same hotel as last time, actually.) I dropped the detergent bottle on the way over to the laundry room, smashing its cap, but rescued the bottle before it all spilled, and managed to scrounge a replacement cap from the trash.
Still to do:visa application form, putting away of laundry, cleaning, packing.
It's still too hot, but at least I got the laundry underway as early in the day as possible, just about. Early signs of approaching monsoon have been evident the last few days, in impressive cumulus build-ups over the mountains and lots of fires mostly sparked by dry lightning, but the humidity is still pretty low, somewhere around 10-15% during the day. Yesterday I accidentally left the AC at its mid-70s setting all day. It was pleasant to come home to a relatively cool apartment for once, but I'm still mildly annoyed with myself, my usual habit being to leave the thermostat on the highest possible setting when I leave for the day, let it run full blast when I come home in the evening, and turn it up or off again at night. (I hate being woken every half hour by noisy cold draughts worse than I hate sleeping in 85+ conditions, though by the end of August I tend to relax that a bit.)
