I took the day off for my birthday. I got to sleep in late and get some things done around the house. I managed, I think, to get rid of whatever was smelling up one of our air ducts, I tarred up part of the roof and repaired the fence where the dog kept getting out. After that, I headed up for the Poindexter small group meeting and then his talk (more on these later). On my way home, I picked up some take out from the local Mexican restaurant. We ate dinner, made a cheesecake and walked the dogs. I opened presents when I got back. K got me a hand full of things I had wanted: the Library of America Writings of Washington and the Writings of Thoreau, Jared Bernstein’s All Together Now: Common Sense for a Fair Economy, and the Pinky and the Brain DVD 🙂 Tim Powers’s On Stranger Tides is still being shipped.
All in all, a very good day. Oh, and the obligatory picture of the birthday cheesecake:
Glad you solved the odor problem. Better yet, you had a satisfying birthday. I’m always so sad because we can’t be there, but then what could we have done. I don’t see me crawling under your house no matter how much I love you. : )
