Yay it's summer!

The sun is out! There are even chirping birds! The trees are flowering and setting off allergies! I abuse exclamation points!

But, oh, sun, how I've missed you.

In celebration, I'm wearing a yellow sundress (with white cardigan on top for work). It's got cute giant daisies embroidered on the hem, and I have white sandals and it's just so sunny that every time I look down, I smile.

And! It's salad season! I finally have my kitchen back, hallelujah and thanks to the mom, who spent all of last week putting stuff away, which means I can cook! Except I don't particularly feel like eating anything hot right now.

So I beseech you all for good summer recipes, cold soups or salads or sandwiches.

*much gnashing of teeth*

Wargh! The new place continues to drive me crazy. I was trying to pay my bills, except I realized I have to cancel renter's insurance instead of paying for it, change my internet account because my mom forgot my email address and now my cable account is associated with two different things. And I couldn't even find a pen for a good half hour. ARGH! And I miss using my desktop. The teeny laptop is good for portable purposes, but I want a desk! Thankfully, I have just ordered one.

I also can't figure out a good way to clean the rat cage. I tried it on the balcony, except the incredibly clever people who built this place decided to put a spigot there, but not a drain. So I probably pissed off the downstairs neighbors by having water running down the side.

My mom asked me to wait to buy bookshelves.

Argh.

At least I managed to unpack all my clothes yesterday so I don't have to scrounge for underwear.

Tomorrow, I shall tackle the storage closet and the many cables and extension cords of doom!
