Anticipation

I overspent on my last shopping trip of the month. There was one costly item that couldn't be put off any longer, though, and that accounted for most of the excess, while there was nothing more that could be removed from the list. Even at that I forgot one thing that I've forgotten now for three weeks in a row. Why do I keep forgetting vinegar, even though it's on the list? Is there something in my subconscious that doesn't like coleslaw and is trying to prevent me from making it? My cabbage is going to go bad before can I use it up.

Aside from that, and the final removal of the detritus from the mulberry tree that got trimmed yesterday, it was a normal dull Sunday, though (not surprisingly) unseasonably warm. The good news is that the percentage chance of rain next week has been increased, moved closer, and extended to four days instead of three. There could now be rain as early as Tuesday, with increasing chances on Wednesday and Thursday, and a lingering chance on Friday. If even one day turns out wet I'll be happy.

It's supposed to start clouding up tomorrow, so this will be my last night to look at the stars for several days. It's too bad the moon is rising so late. I keep falling asleep before it arrives and don't get to see it. How can I be expected to retain a proper degree of lunacy if I never see Luna?
