I’m starting to think about MdS as a restful vacation with a bit running thrown in. I’m not underestimating the desert...

Painting and large donuts 112/365
We’ve moved past the yellow striped pajama phase in the back. Now I just have to do the all trim and under the eaves. And that whole other wall. While I painted, Eliot bookcased.

A painting we will go, a painting we will go… The back of the house is starting to come together — in a yellow-striped pajama kind of way. I spent most of the day painting. There were so many things on my To Do list that needed doing, but none of them were going to have such tangible results when they were done. And I needed tangible [...]

A transformer down the street just blew, so I’m going to do the best I can to get my sluggish thoughts in order before the computer’s battery runs out. Oh wait, there’s no internet… Well, this blog is the easiest thing on my To Do list today, [...]

Eliot had a comp day today, and we used it up painting and bookcase making. I can’t show you a picture of the bookcases because we had a hail scare, and the minivan is in the garage blocking access to Eliot’s workbench. Getting that minivan in our garage reminds me how I had to maneuvering an ambulance into an old rescue squad [...]
