It's brilliant, beautiful fall weather, and I've only been out in it so far to get a blood test and go to Trader Joe's, but when I sit at my desk I see the upper back yard and trees. I'm a bit frazzled, because I'm trying to get a retreat venue date settled for my teacher, and the email thing is actually slowing things down. Or there is more than one person taking reservations. Hopefully, it will get sorted out today. Whatever will be will be as the old song goes.
I'm tackling Murakami's opus now. I feel strong enough. I have the will to succeed. And yesterday I read a review that it is best read in as close to one sitting as possible. Since it's over 900 pages, that seems absurd, but I will at least attempt not to pick up any other books while I'm reading 1Q84. It might also involve giving up all the other little projects I work on daily, like Spanish, music and the perpetual organizing. Today I took all the dogs' toys downstairs. That won't last long.
I'm looking forward to seeing a friend today who lives north but is down here for several days. We're having tea here and I'm going to make scones. I even have Devonshire cream, as my local market carries luxuries like that. It will be delightful, I'm sure.
