All by myself...

badstarGavin is in Massachusetts with her family on account of her aunt. I wish I could have gone along too, but I didn't have sufficient vacation to take the time off work so I had to stay here.
That means I am entertaining myself for the weekend.
(Interjection: I just discovered a tiny bruise on my right arm. It's a disturbingly pretty shade of blue-violet. It kinda looks like I've got an iolite embedded in my arm. But it's not shiny. Ah...now that I think about it, I know how I got it- last night, whilst attempting to open my bedroom window, I banged my arm right along the radial nerve. My bedroom window is stupidly hard to open in humid weather- hell, it's next to impossible to open even in dry weather) and it was raining.)
I was thinking of dragging a notebook down to the harbor and setting up camp on the balcony at Barnes and Noble, but it's raining pretty hard so probably not. And it's supposed to be really windy tmorrow. Hmm...Maybe Sunday. Planning to wander up to the grove, so maybe after that. Or maybe not. Who knows? I've got a couple of partially-written hymns, the first few lines of a poem, a questionnaire to work on for a book that someone's writing, a call-for-submissions to write, and some other things to work on. Not to mention wanting to do a bit of housework and needing to study to retake the CVE. In between all this, there will be talking to Gavin, whom I am missing very much.
Maybe at some point, I'll eat too. It's probably a good thing that I have a variety of things that I need to work on, or I'd probably be tempted to amass a stack of books from the zillions that I have here but never read and shut myself up in the apartment all weekend.
Also need to go to the post office and grocery store, and somewhere that I can get one of those Totes double-layer umbrellas (though since Gavin's is here, I'll probably put that off yet again.)
Oh, and I need to actually buy a notebook that isn't one of those tiny little memo books. Though, I do love my little Five-Star notebook. It's so convenient. Just...the pages aren't very big. Maybe I'll get a regular-sized Five-Star notebook :-)
In other news...I saw a toad leaving the office last night (I love toads and frogs, they're so cute!) Walking down the sidewalk towards the other end of the building, I saw a blob ahead of me on the pavement, almost the exact same color as the concrete. As I got closer, I realized it was a toad. Expected it to hop away before I got too close, but he just sat there and let me take several pictures until I got one that was somewhat decent. Never moved. Then I realized I'd left my phone charger on my desk, so I had to retrieve it When I cam back out, the toad was still there, hadn't moved an inch.
