Reset Forty-Four, Day Ten

Wednesday I slept the middle out of the day, and got up at three o'clock thinking I ought to do something, but decided not to decide to do anything, and just ate a donut and drank iced tea, and then probably did other things but I don't remember now what they were. It was the last day of summer (but only because I am in the northern hemisphere) and the weather was quite pleasant. Today is the equinox that makes me sad (because the days are getting shorter) and happy (because the horrors of summer are behind us.)

Unpleasantness from my stomach led me to skip dinner again, though I later induced more unpleasantness by microwaving a ramen bowl. It was either feel sick and hungry or feel full and sick, and I just got to the point at which the former became more annoying than the prospect of the latter. Now the prospect has become reality and I half regret the decision, which is a good thing. If I chunder I'll fully regret it. That would be bad.

So autumn is here, but we are looking at a rather too toasty weekend coming up. The air conditioner hasn't come on for three days now, but it might again in a few days. If it does, it could be for the last time this year, but I'm hoping to get away with just using the fan and some open windows at night. It looks like I won't be needing the furnace either, and if that keeps up for a few weeks there will be no big power bill in October. Moderate comfort on a budget. That might make me almost happy. Autumn can be a time of wonders indeed.
