We have no internet or telephone at my house, and it’s really thrown a wrench into my weekend plans. The phone I can take or leave, but not the internet. I came back from class yesterday hoping to wipe out some of my brain cells watching The Real Housewives of New York City online, but alas it was not to be. Also, the paper and presentation I’m doing for my class (due next week!) is on Web 2.0. I called the phone company on my cell phone and the problem supposed to resolved by tonight. Tonight?! I’m dying I tell you. Right now I’m at a local coffee shop that has free wifi, saving webpages I may need to use as web archives so I can read them offline. Oy.

In other news, what I’ve been up to lately has been mostly working, sleeping, and worrying about my paper. I did run on the treadmill twice too.  I have given myself a pass on working out until my paper is done, but I decided it would be more helpful than not to do a couple light workouts last week so I did run / walk intervals on the treadmill.  There is a new treadmill at the gym and I love it.  Running on it felt so fast and easy.  It also helps that I did it with NO incline.  I usually put the incline at 1% which I’ve read simulates running outside.  I was surprised how much easier it seemed running without the incline, but I went with it since I was trying not to tire myself out too much.  Need to keep my energy for my paper. Which I’ve only written about a paragraph of so far. And that’s all I going to say about that.

Another thing that has happened in the last couple of days is that summer weather has arrived!  Remember in my last entry I said we were having a cold snap? (I think they even got a couple of feet of snow in Vermont last week.) Well, that’s over now. Yesterday it was sunny and up in the 80s!  It was a beautiful day, even a bit too hot last night. Yup a few nights ago, I was wearing two sweaters and lying with a blanket over me, and last night I opened the windows and was commenting on how “hot” it was. But that’s New England.  The weather’s always doing crazy things.

That’s it for now. Back to sipping my cafe au (soy) lait and reading blogs before heading home to the internet-less zone.
