I should be sleeping...

...but it's about 1000 degrees in my apartment right now, so I'm waiting until I'm even sleepier than I already am to hit the hay. We're having a very warm spell at the moment, and once the ocean breeze (which is more like a gale force wind, much of the time) goes away, I start roasting.

So much going on. So little time to write about it. I haven't even had a chance to tell you about my friend Cindy's visit, which was what... two weeks ago now?? It's been an extraordinarily busy week at work -- one that started very early last Sunday morning. Throw in a hula class, a couple of appointments, a couple of social occasions, and a Saturday work commitment... and what you have is an extremely exhausted dork.

But I'm excited because amid all the chaos I bought myself an early birthday gift: plane tickets to NYC! I'm going early next month. I can't wait. More knockoff purses! More pashminas! More gluten-free restaurants to try! More wandering in a city I love!

I'm just hoping the humidity waits until after I leave...
