Waiting for my endless summer...

Current accomplishments

1. Painted a second coat onto all of the doors in the room, minus one half of one closet door and the reverse side of the door-doors. I forgot about the whole paint needs to dry thing when I started so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
2. Taken an inventory of the dirty clothes and realized there isn't enough of any one type to do a load. I could pretend I was back in college, throw them all in together, set it on cold and hope for the best - but why? I'm going to have plenty that I want to wash when I get back so I'll just deal with it then. Plus, it's one less thing to do before I go.
3. Reminded all the shoes where they live. They promised they'll try harder to remember on their own next time.
4. Contemplated exactly what I am and am not going to take to go out in. I am going to take a lot of black (2 pair of pants and at least 1 skirt) and just for fun maybe some pink as well (I'm just not always content to blend in). I am not going to take jeans or brown pants. I'm not in a brown mood and I hate jeans.
5. Allowed myself to be sucked back into this thing because I was starting to have pre-withdrawal and needed to curb the pains until the last possible moment.

I am fighting a very strong compulsion to make a long entry here because I am getting tired and I am completely starting to freeze again. Plus the puppy dog is checking on me.

She is not actually coming to find me, she is just randomly barking a single bark. If I don't respond she does it again. She does not walk around and look for me, instead she sits on the stairs leading to the bedrooms and just barks a single bark. If I do respond she's quiet for a little while but the time between is getting shorter. That means it's time for bed.
