you can always tell when it's a saturday, and there is work to be done
you know, i sit down to write something and just come up with a total blank. it happens sometimes. i find it frustrating, but hey, what the hell can i do?
my saturday today started off well. we drove to avalon to check out the book fair that was on. in the end for 30 bucks, came away with some good books (all a tax right off, now that i am a teacher). originally, i has looking for some english lesson planning books, or books to help facilitate a lesson etc. but that range was slim and totally uninspiring. if i had a teacher try to use any of that material on my when i was in school i would have gone insane. basically, it was boring shit! however, we did find a few books worthy of classroom use, one for my university course, and a few childrens books for use on frijole, when frijole comes of age.
after the book fair, we checked out the beach, but i decided against the planned swim, because the day turned out to be quite frigid, especially in the wind. instead, i had a coffee and returned home to make a few overseas phone calls, have some lunch and a rest. then the remainder of the afternoon was dedicated to smashing and demolishing. i ripped off the aluminum awning over the back door, and took down the lame security shutters on the downstairs windows. the old lady who lived here before we did, had them installed. the house is booked in to be rendered in the next few weeks, so this is all prep work. all in all this house is coming along. we have some ambitious plans to fulfill before the end of the year. i think we are up for the challenge. but who knows once frijole arrives?? only a few more weeks to go now, then the verdict will be in.

i gotta get this stuff done. no one else is going to do it. besides, the surgeon told me 4 weeks out from surgery to "start running and to push through the pain." he says it will help the healing process. i thought he was mad to begin with, but in the end, he was mostly correct.
