Music: Foo Fighters - Everlong
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apparently I'm so boring that it weirds people out when I do something even slightly unexpected.

This past Sunday was really nice. It was warm out, but there was a good breeze that kept it from being uncomfortable. It was so nice and sunny that, instead of retreating to my basement lair, I decided to sit out on our screened in porch...which is kinda like going outside, but without all the sunburn and bugs so it's better. It was a great few hours. I brought out some really easy knitting and listened to an Agatha Christie audiobook sitting on a really comfy lounge chair.

After about two hours, I got the feeling that someone was looking over my shoulder. There was my mother, looking at me in total shock. I paused my book to hear her stammer "You're...outside? Why?" When I explained the whole nice-day-not-too-hot-nothing-else-to-do scenario it looked like she didn't believe me at first, but then just kinda nodded and went back inside.

Dad came out later to have a smoke and finish Harry Potter. Even *he* looked at me like I'd grown three heads, but maybe that was based in the fact that I had kind of invaded his little reading hideaway. Too bad. He can share. Once the humidity goes down I'm planning to do the same thing. Being outside is great so long as I don't have to be exposed to sunlight and insects while having access to a ceiling fan.
