are we there yet?

already, this week has been too hectic and i'm exhausted.  i'm not sure what to expect with the arrival of Carmageddon in l.a. this weekend, but given the slow pace of my drive to the gym this evening, the car is not going to factor into my plans.  i will be glad to have some time at home and a little enforced rest, because right now all i really want to do is a whole lot of this:

take a cat nap in a shady corner of the yard.

find a little fountain somewhere within walking distance -- since the ocean will likely be inaccessible -- so i can enjoy the soothing sounds of trickling water.

catch up on some very important magazine perusal, while dining on meals that don't require turning on the oven.  And...

Scrabble©.

i also would like to finish at least one of the three books i'm currently reading.  (if i can keep my eyes open for that long.)

almost there -- happy wednesday!
