SRS: I have not seen any lampshades the right size and shape or I would do just that -- if I found something reasonably priced. $25.00 and up is not! I'll check Craig's list.

Wore my new $7 car coat today - so cosy and nice, it surpasses my hope.

More or less do nothing day. Another late night and early morning so it is mostly reading and internet. Just met a neat woman in Eureka, CA. Feeling the lack of not having been to the country in over a week. Shall have to go on Tuesday - just for me.

Remembering my mother's home of 28 years. When I went to move her out and there were pathways through the house, paper - piled to the bottom of the DR table and everywhere else, 4 BRs and 4 walk in closets - FULL. ETC.... Such a good learning exp! Wish R had seen it!

Don't tell, but I dumped 8-10 inches of paper in the recycling yesterday. YAY!

Just found out raccoons are good mousers! That's what I need.
