woke at 6:30, fed the cats, did another round of laundry. did some drawing on the print for the upcoming goodall gallery show. we took seth for a walk, drove to central street, saw lizzie and some other dogs. on the way home, di thought we should start our christmas shopping lists. at home, i unloaded oak from the trunk of my car and split it and stacked various woods.
inside, we talked through our shopping lists, then decided to just hop in the car and go over to the toy store on main street, next to guitar works. we got much of our kid-oriented shopping done, then went to whole foods for groceries and a hot bar lunch. i took di home (listening to 'this american life' about harold washington), grabbed my work clothes and drove to TBM.
i cleaned and started rearranging in anticipation of the inspectors and work to be done this week. dad showed up, and we moved things along in earnest. after he left, i sat and put a second coat of paint on the radiator covers (which need to be hung before monday), then drove home, arriving at 5pm.
i took a bath, ate a dinner di made (cheese on bread, a salad, and vegetable broth), then we decided to walk up to linz & vale for gelato. neither of us dressed warmly enough. on grey, we passed the little house we have been wishing on for jason & hilary, ($100k too much) but this time, it has a new 8 foot tall construction chain link fence around it. we fear that it will be torn down. this is really disheartening for us - we love that little blue house.
once a-fucking-gain, linz & vale didn't have cones, but we got gelato. some other time, i'll go into my issues with a coffee/gelato shop that i keep trying to like, despite the many reasons they keep giving me to dislike them.
walked home. type blog. draw more for the goodall print. paint is on hands. will sleep.
