beanside | That the road that leads to nowhere is long, and that those who seek to go there are lost.

It's another hot day here in MD. Supposed to drop with some rain this evening, and then tomorrow will be in the 60's. C'mon fall! I hate hot weather. I don't enjoy sweating. Of course, I'll have to use my inhaler more often in winter, because cold air fucks me up, but fall should be okay.

Yesterday was very boring. The dog was not thrilled about going in the bedroom, but in the end he was a good agreeable boy. He slept the majority of the day while the painters were here and then the workers came in and stacked our washer and dryer. They're very nice GE units, so they should hold for awhile.

We haven't used it yet, but I plan to do towels and maybe some clothes tonight. I may need a small stepstool to get clothes out of the dryer, but that's okay. If I had another few inches, I'd be fine, but alas, I am short.

I put in a purchase for a pair of tennis shoes. I've been wearing my hiking boots when I go out, and that's fine, but I'd also like a pair of sneakers, too. Also, since it was buy one get one, I got the slides that I wanted for the cruise, and also for our pool next year. They should come on Friday, according to the UPS label.

I did an adult thing! Sunday, I took my car over for tires and an oil change. Yesterday, I ubered over and picked it up. My car was happy with me. No low tire pressure, or "oh your oil change is WAY overdue" messages on my dash. I appreciate that. I also switched my auto insurance to AAA. I'd wanted to do it 6months ago, but I had a missed payment with Geico, so they wouoldn't take me. Now that I've had 6mo of payment, I can switch. It's slightly more, but that's okay, it's much better coverage. See, adulty things!

Once I got back, I cooked dinner, which was Momofuku's Soy and Scallion noodles and Lobster tail. They went really well together. I can't do the lobster all the time, but once in a while I can splurge.

Today should be my last day sitting in my sister's room. That'll be nice. I would very much like to get back to my desk and chair. Hopefully, they come and set up our shelves and our doors quickly and we'll be good to go. I'm inordinately excited about the shelves. I am very easily excited.

And on that note, I'm going to hop off and take this trash to the dumpster. Everyone have a wonderful Tuesday!
