visingsö
it is the second week and i still can't believe that it is august. billy is starting to feel more and more like a distant memory and i don't have much to keep me grounded anymore. it rained until about three this afternoon, so no field work after all. nez, jessi and tina all went to jönköping, tom was recovering from his eye problem and gisela felt ill, so the students had the run of data entry for the day. stopped at 12:20 to go eat lunch at the cottage with jess and it was good to come unglued from my self-assigned leather armchair which i was occupying in a state of semi-hibernation. read to page 400 of the private patient, listened to tom's soil lecture and then headed back to the house to get my bike for some much needed exercise. listened to the everglow while i biked in the mist down to the harbor to buy new postcards - i learned today that i had sent all my postcards with the wrong postage, as per the grocery store attendant's directions. so, all the time i spent on my first round is wasted and they are stuck in mail limbo. spent 100 SEK on new cards and proper postage and rode back through the forest as the rain picked up again. rewrote the postcards while watching the lost epilogue and the new mad men episode and surfed around on the internet. vegetarian chili (with lots of tabasco to make up for the lack of spice) at the big house, then mike came over for ice cream and screwdrivers. had a nice venting chat over best coast's crazy for you and checked the weather forecast for the rest of the week - not promising. forty-five minute chat with my fella, shower, and now off to finish the remaining chapters of the 496-page book i started just yesterday. tired and a bit sad, but in some ways - this is heaven.
