Lazed around in bed this morning after making some tea -- almost finished Dave Van Ronk's "Mayor of MacDougal Street" (hope to later), checking Mudcat and Facebook with my iPad but mostly reading and listening to Dave Van Ronk and others at Pandora.

Guess I deserved a little bit of laziness after the tedious driving in snow yesterday. (And it was still spitting snow this morning.) It was gorgeous outside...but it felt more like a cocooning day rather than going out to clear the car and deck off yet again.

De-accessioned some stuff later (got to make a Goodwill trip sometime this week -- after my neighbor takes a look at the warm jacket), used rather than cutting up a box (that also works for getting it out of the house). Hacked away at clearing the floor in the bedroom. Emptied the dishwasher. Wrapped up another month transcribing my calendar/journal (but I'm getting close to Tom's last two hospitalizations and death, and I'm not sure I'm up for that that right now...), but didn't get back to finishing the index of Tom's freelance articles. I don't have that much left to finish up and maybe I can work on that and let the calendar sit for a little while.

But I did get the play list from yesterday's session posted on the thread.

Had a good, productive talk with an old friend. Not only getting caught up on his current legal hassles and life in general, but reminiscing about and reviewing some old (c. 1978) projects we'd come up with and made some new plans for monetizing a few of them.

Too late to call Tom's elderly cousin, but I think I'll call my sister.

Tomorrow I'll go down cellar and see if I've got 150 gray slate squares to do the bathroom floor, which needs replacing (it's just a well worn vinyl remnant now) before installing the new composting toilet I haven't ordered yet.
