Good Things:
Supper smells divine. Chicken with lemon and onion, grilled asparagus, and salad.
Camp in a few days!!!
I'm relaxed.
Still writing.
I have gotten lots accomplished.
Not So Good Things:
Once more, my fertility is making itself obnoxiously obvious.
Packing is boring.
I'm writing rubbish!
Slowly remembering I can't bring my laptop to camp.
One Rather Dreadful Thing:
I need bifocals. And they're a stronger prescription than my mother's.

Relaxation?
An active mind is a horrible thing to waste. I'm bored. The upshot is that I write more when I'm bored - I've written oodles, none of it remotely decent, but it felt good to banish it from my brain. I've also managed to addict my mother and two of my darling siblings to Buffy the Vampire-Slayer, so I've been able to monopolize the television.
...I'm a very, very bad person. I am well-aware and accepting of that fact. :-D
However, I have gotten quite a lot done, writing-wise. Cooking-wise, too. Momma's been taking advantage of my cooking skills once more and I like doing it - mainly because that means generally, I don't have to do the dishes afterwards. Last night, I invented a meal that was quite lovely. My sister was visiting, so she showed me how to make these Thai potato pancakes (don't ask, I didn't and I'm happier for it) with an excellent dipping sauce. With those, I threw some chicken in the oven slathered in lemon juice, spices and herbs I picked fresh from the garden and minced up, and onion. It was so good. We also had salad, which I admittedly didn't eat - but the rest was excellent. I love experimental cooking. Tomorrow I may bake bread.
On Wednesday, I have an eye-doctor appointment - Dad wants me checked to see if I need new glasses, because my headaches have been becoming more frequent and that generally means I need a stronger prescription. Also, he wants my hearing checked before I go back to school in the fall - the deafness has gotten a little bit worse recently, which is mildly irritating.
I'm excited for camp! We were supposed to start on the 1st, but due to some scheduling interestingness, we had our training scooted to the 8th, which gives me an extra week at home to goof around. Some friends of mine who I went to camp with as a teenager are going to be there and I haven't seen any of them in ages - we've all been getting back in contact and it'll be like a big Teepee reunion! (Yes, we slept in teepees, and yes, that's how we spelled it. Get over it. Teeps '03 rule!)
In any case, soon I will be living in the woods with very very limited access to Internet. Also, I think I get cell phone reception in two places at the camp. However, I'm excited. I can still get to my email during office hours and I'm going to see old friends and I don't have to talk to people! My inner-hermit is rejoicing. I'll be the stoic, silent counselor who is marvelously supportive but in a... quiet way.
Ah yes. And then pigs shall fly.
