Maryann, I'm changing my meds since one I have been taking is going off the market. I'm going into a little mini-menopause as I drop one ingredient. It isn't pleasant, and is rather distracting.

And what size t-shirt do you wear? I have a pile of various Seattle Folklife and Folklore Society and Song Circle and such shirts piled in my closet that were my fathers. I could send you one--Hobson's Choice would give you a nice surprise, or you could describe the one gone missing and I can see if I have it. He died in 1997, so I don't have anything recent. I kept them because when my kids were little they used them for sleep shirts, but they have since outgrown using their grandfather's folk shirts. He wore size large.

I have battled some lethargy this weekend, I'm sure it is the medication adjustment. I did get moving this afternoon and trimmed the tree outside my office window and moved around some bulky stuff that was in the way in the garage. One big plastic toy chest that is in great shape is coming back into the house and into my daughter's closet. I'm going to fill it with her seldom-used costume supplies so it can keep them out of sight and out of harm's way. We have an old cat who every so often decides to pee in closets and he sometime hits clothing left on the ground. He's an old fart, about 15 now, so mostly we try to keep him away from those places where he tends to misbehave.

I've pulled out some stuff from the garden that isn't producing (didn't get a single squash this year) and the chard is huge but over the hot summer has gotten bitter. I'm going to plant onions and chard by seed in the old spot, after I trim back the oregano a little bit. It is a robust ground cover here. I was thinking about putting a bird house in that same garden, the purple martin house, but if I do they might eat my pollinators and june bugs. We have toads to take care of june bugs. Maybe the bird house should go in the back where I know we have lots of mosquitoes.

I went to see Julie and Julia last night. I wasn't sure if I'd like it as well as I did, because I had read about some mixed reviews (I won't say more), but it really is quite a charming movie. And the food! I must get out my Mom's copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and make something. Not aspic, or duck, nothing hugely fancy, but something. :)
