    Daily Rituals*

    I’ve been thinking quite a bit these past few days while I’ve been away from blogging. I had some 24hr stomach bug that left me immobile on my futon with nothing but Nintendo and my thoughts to keep me company… and after I had played enough Mario Kart I got to thinking about our daily rituals, or routines, if you will.

    …helllllloooooo August! **Have you voted in my poll yet? (—>) Well, it certainly started the right way–today was a beautiful, clear 32°C sunny day that made me hope that we might actually see some summer weather before… well, next summer. We have had so much rain and mediocre temperatures that the entire month of July felt more like fall than summer… and who wants to wear their smokin’ new fall attire in July? Not I, says I. It’s been a busyish few days, but here’s a quick recap: Job Search* Well, still no luck on this front as yet. I applied for several more jobs as well as one that…
