I didn't have the energy to get up and get dressed today. The weather was perfect to go outdoors, and I stayed in. It was a perfect day to wear a dress, and I didn't take the time to do so.

As I write this entry, we finally broke 80° outside, and my apartment was starting to get too warm to be in without air conditioning. So, I turned it on for only the second time this season, and gave it some exercise. Realizing that I intended to be busy all day tomorrow, it made sense for me to do a couple of loads of laundry, making it possible for me to wear some of my summer dresses this weekend.
While doing my laundry, I decided to take care of a few things, such as double checking travel arrangements for our upcoming trips, and to buy several things from Amazon. One of those things was a 60+ y/o book called "The Revolt of Mamie Stover", a fictional work about a Honolulu prostitute who becomes a wartime profiteer. (This is a very simple description of the story.) Given that another work by this author, "The Americanization of Emily" is wonderfully cynical, I have wanted to read this book for a while, but couldn't find a good print copy.
Once I found what I needed to buy, it was time to see what the Theater Development Fund had to offer on discount. And I found one play worth seeing - God of Carnage. Although I had seen this play twice in its initial Broadway run, I figured that it would be a good play to see with RQS. So, I told her about it, and she was interested in seeing the play when she gets back from her upcoming trip.
Although I didn't do much today, I feel good about not doing much. Time moves at multiple rates when one is retired.
