What a wonderful day:
- I helped my mother with some chores and errands;
- I made birthday dinner plans for one friend and included another;
- I finished The Creative Act, then started and finished Ajax Penumbra 1969 (I really need to update my bookshelf…);
- I painted my nails a rich green, OPI’s “Stay Off the Lawn!”;
- and I had a fantastic dinner of beer, charred salmon, mashed potatoes, grilled green beans, and a chocolate mousse cake.
Really, the only down side has been trying to choose my next book. I’m torn between the many activism and progressive books I’ve added to my queue, and the classics that have been waiting patiently for too long. But I think that’s a decision for tomorrow.
