Sluggish... So I can't think of many things that I like less than a summer cold. I expect colds in the winter, so they don't bug me much. In the summertime, however, they're just plain miserable.

Things on my mind: It's my birthday month. My mother used to start trying to get people to celebrate her birthday for the whole week leading up to it. She would get up in the morning during the week prior to her birthday and announce, "It's my birthday week!" She admits that it was a ploy for attention and presents early. As she got older, the birthday week stretched out. Now April first comes and my mother announces the arrival of her birthday month. Her students even notice, and I think that someone even gave her flowers this year on the first of April. So now, it's June. Which is my birthday month. Flowers, anyone?

Today's Weather: sunny and hot, chance of thunderstorms later.
