fence complete/back to work

Tuesday: MB woke me as she headed out. Late night again, but did some fun work towards a possible new gizmo for playing with Shawn. Feeling quite energized despite the lack of sleep. Decided to do painting before practices, so fed cats, quick breakfast and coffee, then out back to sling the brush. Stained the side gates on the left and right of the house, and the last little segment of fence. Also touched up some spots that I missed or went light on yesterday. Stained a little bit in the way back on B's side. The neighbors from across the street waved and said I was making them look bad. Hope that's not true. Did some clean-up, but left some for tomorrow, since I want to do a bit more touch-up anyway. A sitting of sorts, shower, down basement for morning practices. Saw C and K from next door on my way out. K (who is 4) loves my car, and I offered to give her a ride sometime. Remembered I needed to do laundry, so drove around the block, put it in the machine, and then finally headed off.

Drove across town and parked behind Cambridge Music. Picked up a couple of guitars I'm about to sell. Then, towards H Sq.

A brief day at work. Had a long talk with B about the current state of my bandwidth project. One concrete avenue of exploration came out of it, and he agreed to take a look at some logs I'm generating to see if we can come up with any other angles of attack. Walked over to the pharmacy, and back. Once again, absolutely stunning weather.

I have talked with a few other people that have noticed that the cleaning staff always seems to arrive at exactly the moment that one decides it's time to use the bathroom. They have also taken to just barging in, and beginning to clean, even if one is occupied... And one of the staff is a young woman, who is not at all shy about heading right into the men's room.

Headed over to yoga at 6:40. Arrived just as things were getting going. A good session, though I was tired. Wendy showed us some of the finer points of extended child's pose. I hadn't had a session in a couple weeks, and I paid for it. Afterwards, some talk about the Nyung Ney Wendy had just run up at Milarepa center.

Stopped at the Shaw's on my way home, and swapped a bag of bad carrots for a bag of (presumably) good carrots. Back home, some soup, bread and cheese with MB, and career talk. Need sleep, so will just do the minimum to wrap up the day with integrity, and then to bed.

On a sad note, the actor that played Gilligan, has gone to his island in the sky.
