Thanks for the fish

good thing? Despite myself, I couldnt’ stop from being productive this weekend. I worked my ass off. Now, I feel halfway good about myself, and halfway dead tired. Now I’m painting my toenails fire-engine red and looking at what the week has in store for me:

Hopefully a more sane week at work
Watercolors class on Tuesday
Piano on Thursday
Ballroom dancing on Saturday

Then my sister is coming to visit and we’re going down to Boston to see Patty (yay!) open for a band called Swell Season. I’d never heard of them but I guess they are some sort of Irish hoozeythingy. Should be fun. Also have a ton of other things going on… football games and author readings and french classes oh my! A busy and fun fall awaits.

Meanwhile, Hanna the Hurricane came through yesterday but didn’t do anything too major…just rain and wind. Today was one of those gorgeous post-storm days. Windy and blue skies and everything totally vibrant and alive. Oh, and I went running! Finally back on track and it felt good (other than the part where it hurt like hell). I also started putting to bed the veggie garden. I halway took the fence down, halfway took the tomato cages down, and halfway took the cornstalks down. Well, there’s always tomorrow to finsih the half-assed things I started today. I also (almost) finished painting the downstairs bathroom. Just a few touch ups left. And I froze all the rest of the corn. Meanwhile I have about 3 bushels (I don’t really knwo what a bushel is) ripening on the counters. I suppose I’ll get aroudn to doing something to them soon.

Oh, and there was a cormorant in the driveway today. Pictures…
