today was a "wasted day".... dealing with smoke detector batteries... cleaning the gutter.... setting the clock on the over (the only clock).... doing laundry since it got really hot to air dry clothing.... grocery shopping (tandori dinner!).... but i never got to the library to read or write. however, that's what tomorrow and it's 70% chance of rain is for....
