it's a mess

Jill, I told you my office is a mess. This doesn't give the whole picture but it's enough of a hint. I swear I'm going to clean it up tomorrow. Get a dumpster.

I had a good week...went swimming three times, going out for coffee before work tomorrow, Karl came to lay out the patio, and it's Betty's birthday today. Hurray. We should have a new patio by this time next week.

I almost ran over a pocket gopher today. Last year, two tiny ones ran in front of my car over by Jefferson Avenue. One turned back and I thought oh no they'll never find each other. Maybe they have short term memory problems and it didn't matter to them like it did to me.

The wind is disturbing.

This may prompt me to take a picture of MY office to show you what slovenliness is. Just pick up those papers and file folders from the floor, girl and it will look neat and tidy.

Have I seen those cool bags under your desk? I just got a new one today, delivered by UPS. It's made out of recycled materials from woven plastic banners that were used in Seattle for something or another. The straps are re-purposed (interesting word, isn't it?) car seat belts. This is my second bag of this type. The first was a big bag; this one is smaller. I love them both.

Only another bag lover would see those bags in this mess! One's a lunch bag from TJ Maxx and the other one is an Isabella's Journey purse. I have to see your new bags, Jill!

weekend

Regis and I went to the place for dinner where when you used to go there the bait shop had a better bathroom than the restaurant. Not true anymore. The bathroom is lovely and the beer is cold. Those are not in order of importance. I went swimming today and the water was a gorgeous temperature. I didn't want to get out but I was alone and it got a tiny bit boring. I tried treading water and watching television through the window but that didn't work so well. There was a monkey and that's all I know. I can count quickly five people I know well who have lost their jobs or who are fearful of losing their jobs. Scary times. Regis says the atmosphere at his work is awful...people think that on Friday they will come for them. We're going to see Dean McGraw at the Bothy tomorrow night. This is one of the best shows in town for fifteen bucks. You can have some popcorn, sit in the front row, visit with the Doctor Daniels , and hear some fine music. Sometimes Dean has us sing an...
