Weekend Stuff

I feel better. I tried very diligently to feel the calm today. I'm even wearing my "Live In The Meow" shirt.

On Friday I congratulated myself for taking the next week off, but then quickly realized that this week is chemo week and talking-to-the-oncologist-about-next steps day, and such. They're even talking about mrguy resuming his kanjinti this week in the hospital with an overnight stay. Oh well. I will do everything in my power to un-lax. But we only have today and tomorrow to hang out together before the fun starts. I'm even thinking of having Norwegian dinner on Sad Saturday, since mrguy will be sadding.

This morning we went out to breakfast at the place down the hill, which was great. I remembered not to eat my whole meal, and for that reason I did not feel like I needed to sleep right away. Did a little genealogy sleuthing, and then went out to an estate sale. I just really needed to get some new stuff into my eyeballs.

It was not as I expected. Sometimes you go to an estate sale and it's Hoarder City. So much hoarding. Lots of mold. Lots of crafts that it looked like she was going to try to sell. It was the third day of the sale and you could barely navigate. She even hoarded orchids. There were dozens of orchids in pots in the back yard. I left without finding anything, and feel pretty great about that. Feast your eyes on some gourd porn.

The hoarder house street (in the slide area, and also so narrow that I had to back into someone's driveway to do a 3-point turn rather than continue the way I was headed) had one house whose plantings made my heart sing. I love camellias and banksia.

I was already out and about, and it's a beautiful day so I went back down the hill to the car wash. It rarely disappoints. And there was a great song on the radio, Remington Rand, by The Particles. 

On the way home a woman didn't see that I had the right of way and cruised through the intersection and I barely missed a collision while swerving and screaming. So much for that relaxation.

Tomorrow we will take a drive to a wetland we've never been to and we will look at birds. And possibly otters or nutria or whatever other vermin hangs out there.
