Aaah, I am now settled in at home for the night... I was discussing remodeling issues with my remodelers and also chatting for a good 3 hours. Are you sick of hearing about my remodeling yet? Too bad! I have to live it. A big truck came by to haul away lots of rubble, and attracted a cops attention. He came upstairs TWICE trying to find me in order to work me over for a bribe. (I was out shopping) Let him keep trying, he is barking up the wrong tree.

My book is finally finished at the publishers and it is absolutely beautiful. I am so pleased. I brought a copy of it home and scraped it up as well as broke a really strange Soviet bat clock I bought today as I stumbled and fell flat out of a crowded minibus I was getting out of. Aside from the heartbreak of the broken bat clock which may be salvagable, I only suffered scraped knuckles.

A note about the weather... it has been raining a little every day for about 2 weeks now. Usually right around 5pm. It is not too bad and doesn't last very long but it does tend to cool things off quite a bit and make it hard to decide what to wear.
