Random stuff of the day...
Coffee in the morning with Kit. It was nice getting back into our routine. We had our drinks and talk, then did a little grocery shopping before heading our separate ways. Next up: I drove Emily to a friend's house so they could go to Country in the Park at a wonderful outdoor venue, Merriweather Post Pavilion. I think they were having 5 bands, with Sugarland coming on last. It was a gorgeous day outside. I thought I might spend the day cleaning up my garden. Instead I painted the hallway leading in from my garage. It still had builder's paint-15 years old. Besides the closets and ceilings, it's the only part of the house that I haven't painted myself, or had painted. I bought a pint of Duron paint to see how I'd like the color, Olive Branch. I tried to find it on Duron's website, but it can't be found. Not by name or code number. I wanted to show you. Anyway, I thought it would be easy. The painting was, but not the taping. The little corridor has 3 doors and an entryway, and I'm a taping fool. I only did one coat, but I'm not sure I'm loving it. I'm drawn to green, and I loved this color at a friend's house, but I think it might be too bold. It is much, much better than the old chalky white it replaced. I painted a white posterboard with the paint, and I'll cut it into some panels and hang them around the kitchen, which gets lots of light. I might like it better there, and I might like the hallway if it matched the kitchen. We'll see. I'm going to ask my friend/painter Dave if he'll paint all my doors this fall. They need it and I just don't want to do them myself. I make it into too much of a production.


Is this post mundane, or what?
I needed to spend time on the porch with my laptop. It was just too nice out and I'd been inside all day. I put up my Fall flag. I thought I'd take a picture of it. Then I noticed my shadow and so, here's me and my flag:


I watched and watched for the hummingbirds, but it was for naught. I think the cool weather has sent them on their way. All I saw were mosquitoes. That was sad.

I have an appointment tomorrow with a new counselor. Trust me, I need it.

My face doesn't hurt anymore, but it's bruised and peeling a little around the injection sites. That's cruddy! And that's it for me tonight. Till the next time...
