I posted last night but it didn't stick. The work you're doing on your bathroom makes any peeling up of linoleum and putting down tile on my part sound puny, Linn. Dorothy, it sounds like you had a great visit. Michelle, did you do that garage sale yet? How did it go?

Yesterday I caught up on a lot of stuff around the house including shredding old papers, filing, paying bills. Another item was listed on eBay. I mainly needed the day to sort out where things stand with the job opening I'm interested in. They are not meeting their deadlines as far as interviews and hiring but hope to make a decision this month. Fingers crossed.

I'm glad so many of us have access to fresh healthy vegetables. I was out last night examining the garden and came in with my t-shirt front (you know, pick up the hem and use it like an apron) full of peppers. I need to pick more tonight and start processing them. Some will be in pickles, others in the freezer. I picked several eggplant on Sunday and gave one to the next door neighbor yesterday (she never used to eat eggplant but she loves babaghanouj and makes it regularly). I have another one for my haircutter today. Tomorrow I'll have a couple more in the garden ready to pick, so the challenge is to stay ahead of them. And tomatoes are beginning to look like they'll ripen soon. There aren't a lot, but there are some big ones.

Four days off in a row this week. With the post-automatic-transmission-rebuild austerity I'm in it means that I need to actually finish projects I've already started instead of investing in new ones. This is a good thing as it tidies up a lot of loose ends. One of the first things to do over this long weekend is sort out all of my watering and soaker hoses around the yard. I have a watering thing (battery operated) that I bought last year and never set up. It's time to do that.

P.S. Got a call, didn't get that job. Darn. At least I got to the interview, so the process is getting more streamlined.
