I'm Only Sleeping

Apologies to the fab ones, et al. Took a little nap, woke up, and July had passed me by. I've been feeling singularly uninspired to write as of late. Part of it, no doubt, the stress of getting up to write @ 5 AM. :) More likely, the entire process of self-talking-to-self tapping away unheard in the vast vast featureless expanse of the blogosphere has lost some of its charm.

What's new? Not much- Living without Claritin-D for the first time in years. Wanted to clean the system out for a while- until the next allergy season at least. It was less painful than I expected: a little sinus pain the first few days, a little lethargic, but that's about it. Easier than kicking coffee. No weight gain yet, slightly increased appetite, I'll keep an eye on it. Still below 200!

My biggest thrill is my new vehicle- a 2001 Jeep Wrangler SE 2.5L (4 cyl). It's the bare-bones model. No radio, No backseat, No AC, Soft Top. The only concession to comfort being the Automatic transmission. I got it last Friday and this marks my first week of driving. It' s been great! I haven't missed the radio much at all, with the wind blowing around me and the engine noise- If this is what the 4 cyl sounds like, I can't imagine the 6!

I'm psyched enough about it to be planning to do my own maintenance. First should be brakes, next the serpentine belt, next paint the flares, and then a good old tune-up. God help me please.
