I forgot until today that oh, yeah, I should go and get my stuff out of the studio. And it has to happen tonight, because I have a final tomorrow afternoon and after that the girls and I are bundling into the car and heading North for my week off. (Can't do it in the morning because there's no parking nearby during the day.) I was going to do laundry tonight but found a secret stash of clean clothes, so I guess I'll use that time to move out of the studio. At least a lot of it is just going to be recycled, because I have electronic copies already. Less stuff to haul down stairs and cram into the apartment somehow.
It's been cold and rainy here -- colder than in the Bay Area, according to my little weather monitor. So cold that on Monday morning when I went to drive in for my engineering exam there was ice all over my car, and when we go out for morning yard use at 6am, the dogs have been walking funny on the icy grass. The cold and the rain makes us all less inclined to hang out outside, so when it warmed up this morning it was a very pleasant change.
I finished my next-to last final (a take-home) yesterday evening so today all I had to do was stop by school before noon to drop it off, then the girls and I went to the beach for some sniffing and splashing. It was gorgeous: warm and sunny and not too windy, so we stayed for over an hour, which seemed to shake the beans out of them. Goldie was playing this really cute game where she would stand and wait for a wave, then jump on it and bite it. Adorable. And when we got home, neighbor-dog Naga was waiting for us, all ready to play, so we stayed out and threw balls with him for half an hour, until Goldie begged to go inside. We've spent so much time outside today that the dogs are completely socked out now, snoring their heads off on their respective beds. Not bad for a day off.
