August 10

I have bought some rather unattractive new curtains for the living room. They are completely functional and not decorative. Supposedly they will keep out 90% of the sun's rays and also give me some more privacy since the blinds have gaps in them. They might also keep the room a little cooler for Luci when I'm not home. School started back today and I had to sit and wait at the intersection for ten solid minutes. I hate this time of year. It might be worth just turning the other way every morning even if it is a little out of my way to go around the school crossings.
