Tonight I came home and listened to the A’s game on the radio while I prettified our dining table with a tablecloth and napkins, dusted the coffee table, took the poof chairs into the garage, and read my new issue of “Vanity Fair” on the chaise. It’s good to leave work early.

Brian has to work late every other Friday. I get some extra Jane time. I will probably do something about my messy desk.

Mmm. Cheez-its are the awesome.

Should I go for a walk outside? The weather has been nice today, and will actually get hot this weekend. You know it’s hot in the city when it’s hot in our neighborhood.

I didn’t watch a single millisecond of the GOP convention, which was very good for my soul.

Other things good for my soul: writing, organization, lifting my hand weights, talking with my cats, Cheez-its, getting cute cards in the mail from my brother’s girlfriend, thinking about seeing friends on Sunday. Purple paperclips. Fizzy water.

The cats love the new sectional. Oh and so do Brian and I.

I am thinking good thoughts for my aunt in Miami… I hope you are safely ensconced, D.
