July is usually the rainiest month for Ohio, but this year we've been a bit parched. The past few days though have been nice and wet, and that was a welcome respite for my plants. It's also kind of nice that the rain corresponds with the new lunar month - a completely new start for this month by washing away the pains and frustrations of the last one and replacing them with new chances. I think I'm going to bake something sweet for the house spirits, and before the end of the week, I'm going to finish cleaning my basement (which is a complete mess).

There are some other things that need tending to before I can do that, however. I had a pretty severe histamine reaction a few days ago to the slivovica I'd been drinking. Apparently, it's not that uncommon for people to have that type of allergic reaction to alcohol, and it's been ramping in frequency and intensity for me over the past few weeks. I don't really drink very much (differing cultural attitudes toward drinking aside), but I've pretty much put on the brakes completely in favor of ensuring my body and mind are as healthy as they can possibly be, especially with school starting up again in just over a month. All those things considered, I think Apollo is due some honor.

My duties for the day then are:
-Laundry
-Sweep the floors
-Offerings for Apollo
-Offerings for the household spirits
-Register for classes

Not a whole lot, which I'm grateful for. I'll be able to finish Dead as a Doornail tonight. =D Also, here's to hoping my university won't force me to take another humanities class. My university's humanities tract doesn't transfer to other universities, and as I'm looking to transfer out ASAP, it wouldn't be too good for me to pay the 2k for it.
