wednesday

woke at 6, got up & out. di was up, too, rushing to the museum. she walked seth after i took off. 7am at jamba juice (too much coffee lately), then over to TBM to let the plumbers in at 7:30. did some stuff around the shop, then took off for skokie millwork, paid my bill from last week. talked to insurance companies on the phone outside skokie millwork. down mccormick to lincoln to western to screwball to pick up the two-foot-tall stack of sound opinions reprints (fuck) and their films and keyplate screen to take over to sonnenzimmer. called steve's intern, kirsten, to see if she could do take-off for mat today; she can and will meet him there at 11:30.

took the prints to sonnenzimmer to unload with help from nick (thanks, nick). mixed ink, remembered to stir it well this time.

took off for TBM, arrived just in time to meet up with the plumbing inspector for the village, who did the rough-in inspection, and liked everything except two parts, which pete said he could fix in couple hours. inspector said he could coe back, pete was delighted. i took off for home.

walked seth, answered emails, made a lunch attempting to use the things in the fridge which will go bad while we are in the UK: four eggs, smoked salmon, crusty bread. called southern to talk about some business side of the new record. back over to TBM, talking to jason on the way. arrived again at the same time as the inspector, 2:30. this time all was to his cold, robotic liking. he gave us the green light to proceed. one more rough inspection when we get back from manchester, and we'll be into the home stretch. talked to the plumbers a bit, worked with my dad on the prints i'm carrying to manchester, headed home.

seth and i went out for another walk.

we saw meagan and jesse and stopped to talk, meanwhile di came home. i showered, and sat down to document the prints i'm taking, and answer emails. and type this blog. the rest of the night will be drawing.

ok.
