Non intellegor ab ulli.

Last night I made a couple new userpics here, one of which I'm using with this entry. See my new pics here.

tutordennis and I have just returned from a lovelyouting (one word). We perused the OSH (Orchard Super Hardware, at which we seem to end up on a weekly basis), purchasing drywall FixAll to mend our bunny indiscretions, a medley of mints for the herb row, some work attire for Dennis, copies of the keys to threetimes's Jimmy, and a full-length door mirror. The landlady is doing a walk-through next weekend, and we're gradually doing some upkeep/repairs to prepare for her visit. We also measured and priced the redwood chips for the back garden beds. We'll need about 56 sq. yrds. (20 bags), which will cost around $80. Excellent. We stopped at Jamba Juice for a smoothie and some lemonade (who wants to eat in this heat?) and then did a bit of garage sale shopping, ending up with a couple Lovecraft books, et al, and the find of the day: the Encyclopedia Cthulhiana.

Wow, you either must really love your place, or you really love your landlady to do that much upkeep. I'm just not that motivated.

God bless Lovecraft, the savior to garage sale lit addics everywhere. xoxo

Well, in part it's for her but mostly for us, you know? We do have a pretty good deal here, and a great deal of inertia (i.e. don't want to move). We have tons of critters, and it's difficult to find a place that will accept that, although we've always been willing to pay pet deposits up the wazoo.

In short, I just want her to be happy and to not bother us. And we've been meaning to landscape the backyard anyway.
