Random weekend stuff:
*The odometer rolled over 78,000.
* The wedding party for friends K&L was very fun, and my group gift fundraising Evite netted enough for a really nice weekend away for them. The whole party went well. People seemed to think I organized the entire party because of the Evite. I'm flattered, but know better.
* The Marin County Fair: still fun. Horse shows: good. Juried art shows: good. Ferris wheels: good. My friend GP dressed up like a ladybug passing out integrated pest management info? priceless.
* Rita Morena as Maria Callas at the Berkeley Rep? Very, very good.
* New house manager? Eh.
* The extra BR is clean and ready for the new roommate to move in in a few days. Except:
* It's difficult to tell pale yellow paint from pale sand/tan paint at 10 PM. Will have to do touch ups after work.
* An 8-point buck, antlers in velvet, was in the backyard last night. Java ran up the stairs and sat about 15 feet away from him, washing one extended leg, while the deer and I peeked at each other through bushes. The deer ambled off to back neighbor's yard.
* Back neighbor still has not taken down the dead tree that fell on my fence, about which I spoke to him before I left for WA. I left a note on his door this AM.
* I still need to get a surveyor re the property line with same neighbor. Wishing it wouldn't cost $6,000 and stalling won't make it cost less.
* I need to get irrigation.
* S. is going to sketch house/yard re-design. Yay!
* I'm so. damn. tired. I'm thinking of taking some vacation time to stay home, which I've never done.
