now i can breathe again

GODDAMN was it hot for a while there. YUCK. but on saturday i still managed to have an impossibly productive day.

7 am - woke up, ate breakfast. was too hot to put wear anything, so i went through my entire wardrobe, decided what to pack in the trunk, what to keep, and what to give away (then reorganized my office supplies) while naked. finished by 9am

9 am - showered, made coffee. still naked. too damned hot.

10 am - out of the house going to McIntyre books to sell some old religious texts i've had kicking around and refused to sell again. got 25 bucks for them! went to drop off clothes at goodwill, spoke some french with a moroccan woman who works there.

11 am - pick up chair from person i found on craigslist. fortunately the chair is really light and i can move it on my own. fits in the scion with plenty of space to spair!

11:30 am - run errands in allston, one of them being checking out a moving sale for another chair. nada, except for a wine rack i scored for 3 bucks.

12:30 pm - heading home. feeling very proud about how well i've moved around in a car in the boston area without a map.

1 pm - remember that i've had nothing since 7 but a bowl of cereal and a luna bar. still too hot to eat, so oh well. laze around for a bit

2:45 pm - walk to italian market. get produce to make salsa, pesto, and smoothies. spent 11.50$ on a pound of green beans, 10 peaches, 2 lbs strawberries, 2 lbs bananas (which i left there somewhere...oops), 2 lbs basil, 1 bunch parsley, 1 bunch cilantro, 4 lb bucket of peeled garlic, 3 lbs of tomatoes. all for $11.50! i'd say i made out like a bandit, but i didn't even have to haggle too much.

4 pm - made it home, started making pesto and salsa. MMM! both came out GREAT, and i ended up with about 3 quarts of each. dang.

the rest of the weekend was spent lying on the floor hating how hot it was. thank god it cooled down today. my hands are freezing, but i can breathe again.
