Trader Joe's loves me - they now have organic, shade-grown Ethiopian medium-dark roast coffee. It was even brewed and served to me. Love ya back, TJ.

I'm at Michele's house, which is a great place to be (and her kitties, especially Cowvin, are very friendly - he's snuggling with me now, destroying his reputation of stand-offish shyness). Fixed up pool and everything! Though, it's a bit chilly out for swimming - which is nice. It was chilly in Oregon, too, and after being basically in a sauna for 10 weeks, it feels good.

I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee but still having a hard time waking up - could be the overcastedness.

It's a busy day, as I need to jump into my job applications (and start relentlessly hounding reference letter writers) and meetings on-campus. Plus, I'll start auditing the stats course today. I took this term last year, but the professor was really worthless and now there's a new guy, so I could learn much more.

OK, time to be productive. Or something. Yawn.
