Productive Memorial Day

Monday (Memorial Day):

Woke, MB doing her sitting. Gave Gus his treatments.

Fed Oscar. Breakfast with MB of eggs (mushrooms and cheese) toast, soy sausages, coffee. A little guitar. A quick shower. Down basement for morning practices. Laundry.

Went to the garden center with MB, driving through Central Square, across the Charles and into Brighton. Picked up some soil, trellises, grass seed and so on.
Quite hot out today. Back home and unloaded the car.

Ate a lunch on the back patio with MB (salad, humus, bread). We were about to have some of her banana bread (sans nuts) and coffee, when the house two doors down began belching high decibel Latino bass-lines. I walked over twice to try to express my lack of appreciation. One time I managed to find a small child. I asked her to tell whoever was playing the music that it was too loud. Eventually it did drop in volume. A little.

Walked around with soil aeration shoes on. Spread soil and "Cow Maneuver" on the lawn. MB headed off to teach a class. Seed and fertilizer.

Went out to pick up some batteries. Two women in the pharmacy were talking about laughing at movies. Asked a question about the prices of various packages of batteries. Went to the grocery store and got some eggs and dish soap.

Watering the lawn.

Video editing in the basement. Completed major edits on the second disc, and began the encoding process.

Came upstairs to say hello to MB.

Walked up the street with MB, a lovely night. The video store we often went to has permanently closed. Got an energy drink at a convenience store. Picked up a couple of slices of pizza.

Watched a bit of "Fists in Pocket" (Italian art-house film), eating pizza.

Put away batteries and cleaned out the battery drawer.

Made the bed, and partially put away laundry.

11 PM. Down basement for guitar, and evening practices.
