Weekending
Will run away down to Seattle this weekend.
Forgot it was Memorial Day when we planned this.
Whatever.
Beautiful friend-people who haven't been seen in too many months trump hideous border lineups.
Must remember to put oil in car so as to prevent car combustion.
And to empty car trunk of 5 full garbage bags of clothes that don't fit in my teeny home in case Border Guard decides to search for contraband. Do Not Feel Like Explaining that I find it impossibly tiresome to sort the Good from the Bad and actually take the Bad away to the Recyclers. Rather let it all get damp and moldy and smelly. And constantly be dragging it in and out of my house when I take people and their mounds of luggage to the airport. Or go for a simple drive over the border. So Much More Fun to do that then to make the 5 minute drive to Sally Ann.

It's been a very slow work week. From the perspective of a Go Go Go Must Work Make Money Progress! Produce! mentality this should concern me.
I did not have that mentality this week. Because this week the sun came out and chased away all the capitalistic demons and left me breathing sweet and easy. Today there is enough to pay bills and buy me coffee. And I know there will be more work coming. Somedays that isn't enough but this week it felt like plenty.

Am typing this on the iPhone from the corner window at Chapters, feet up on the windowsill getting warmed by the sun, looking down with a birdseye view onto the corner of Granville and West 10th. This is one of my favourite places. The smell of books, cup of coffee, the other people who are clearly "Chapters Regulars", half watching/half reading, I've made my way through a dozen books in their entirety without paying for them, oh so carefully making sure their spines remain unbroken so that my pleasure brings no harm to their Future.
Good.

In the continual quest to redecorate my space for notsomuchmoney, am thinking about buying one of these two things. The Melltorp bookshelf goes with the new Melltorp dining table. I'm not really into Matching Things nor am I sure I want an open shelf. But it's cheeeeaapish, so. The PS cabinet, well I've just wanted one of those for longer than I can remember.
Maybe better to get what you want. Conundrum.

Righto. I have 6.2 miles of running to go tackle, wish me Stamina please.
Peace all. Go mess about and behave like eleven year-olds.
