Dear Diary,

Not much has happened since yesterday (at least not much that I am going to post about). I'm feeling pretty lethargic.

I did return home yesterday evening to discover that the pipes under my kitchen sink were leaking. Damn shoddy construction under there...plastic pipes. So I had to play the butch and get it repaired enough that I could still run the water in the sink. I won't be able to get it totally repaired until I get back in September.

I got three pieces of mail yesterday. One was a letter from NancyG that was much appreciated. Another was a package from LadyT that contained a dress that would be nice for wearing around the house. I'm taking it with me to Neenah and Bloomington. It's very loose and comfortable.

The third package was from Miriam. She has apparently finished her visit with her sister in Florida and is in DC, probably visiting her folks. Last month she sent me a wall hanging that said "Escherize your mind" on it, in honor of the Escher print I have in my office. This package was stranger. It contained 3 items. The first is a bumper sticker supporting the dutch World Cup team (Miriam is from the Netherlands and I am 1/4 dutch). Another was a set of 3 cartoons about college and mathematics. The third was a copy of the Cybersurfing column from the Washington Post (July 14) entitled "The Computer Come-Ons." It's about women being hit on and/or harassed while online. I can't for the life of me form a gestalt of these items. Miriam has a strange outlook sometimes.

April called this morning since she can't get online. We chatted for about 60 minutes. She starts her Intensive English Workshop tomorrow, so I won't be in touch with her until 2 days after my surgery...sigh.

Love and Peace,

Robyn
