I'll be getting more of the informatics part of my degree soon, too, which will be interesting to me and which is the basis for my wanting to pursue a Master's degree.
In the meantime, its hot. I feel so unmotivated to work. It's 85 degrees in my room and I feel as if I have sleeping sickness. All I want to do is curl up and sleep. I try and can't do it very successfully - maybe 10-15 min a pop. One of my greatest desires is to go to sleep and wake up ONLY after I've gotten enough sleep and I feel refreshed. I dream big, don't I?
On the other hand, much progress is being made for the other aspects of my life. The divorce is close to being filed, the remodel is currently on track to being completed in October. I'm excited!

I don't do well with heat. One of the days when it was cooler, I walked my sister's dog around Lake Merritt. Took about an hour and 20 min. I ended up hot, sweaty and with a blister on my foot. When I get hot, my skin, which is already sensitive, gets very sensitive. This is a pic of what my underwire did to me. Not only can you see where the underwire rubbed immediately under my breast, but also where the underwire rubbed during the course of the day, sitting and doing work at a desk. When I'm sitting, the curve of my back causes the underwire to rub against my upper abdomen. All I can say is that this was very irritating. A week later I still have a red area about the size of a quarter and that skin still feels a bit raw. I don't do well in heat! I do think, however, I'd do quite fine in Hawaii, on the beach or snorkling in the water.
