Well, it wasn’t a hard chore, just something that I could never seem to get to and I didn’t want the gift cert to run out (forgot the law changed preventing the use of expiry dates on gift certs). Anyway, mission accomplished and I now have a tiny little Pentax. Next step is to learn how to use it….

My reading slowed down when a book club member choose “Miracle in the Andes”. The other book club (classics) picked Mann’s “Death in Venice” which is quite brilliant, but between death in the Andes (cold, painful, eating human flesh to forestall) and death in Venice (warm, luxurious, slow-paced), it’s not been an inspiring week to pick up a book.
Last night I discovered where my ex-beau’s cats (living with me for some incomprehensible reason) are pooping and peeing. Not in the litter box, alas, but in the crawl space under my kitchen floor and accessible through my…yup…basement. So, I cleaned up lots of smelly stuff, about which I’ll spare you the details. Suffice to say, it smells better down there.
Took the eight glasses mentioned earlier to Goodwill. And that’s all she wrote for the basement cleanup.
Small steps, right?
