So someone emailed me today asking if my recent Internet silence had anything to do with a case of the “Monday morning blahs.”

Darn skippy.

My air conditioner sprung itself a leak yesterday afternoon. It was still doing enough to cool the house, but I’m guessing the extra humidity (by Philly standards) finally took its toll. So every extra bath towel got thrown into rotation for mopping and flood control, and I got to spend today playing the contractor waiting game.

All is fixed now, and I’m grateful this crisis erupted while I was in town to handle it.

Still: I could have thought of plenty happier ways to start this last, hectic, overloaded, week before I head north for vacation…
