It's a small thing to miss, but in the old house we had finally found kitchen and bath faucets we liked that really worked, and I loved them. We replaced the kitchen one here when we moved in, but the holes don't line up right to install the ones I really loved. Kitchen faucet, it's a must to have one high enough to fill tall pots, and we did get one, but it doesn't have the elegant curve of the one we had before. And the bath one is just standard faceted plastic "crystal" hot and cold knobs and a slanted faucet, rather than the retro white china cross knobs and swoopy faucet. At some point we'd like to replace the sinks, and we can make sure the holes are right for the good faucets when we do.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So that’s two rolls of film that I spoiled. Now sitting at home sulking, and watching the Mets.

Bummer, Tom--what happened?
I did so much yesterday and now my back is really bothering me. Still went for a walk with sister, had breakfast burritos, did some yard work (i.e., hacked back the rosemary, lavender, and groundcover that I should never have planted), and then took a muscle-relaxant my sister gave me.
It's not quite doing the job, though: I may take another.
At some point I need to start going through kitchen drawers and deciding what I really need to keep versus get rid of, before I have to empty everything out for the demolition.

Our wings are not tired.
Boo on spoiled film. Did you at least get fried cheese curds?
I am attempting some productivity today. Did some work on the pool. Looked at work work. I must have slept badly and my body aches so sitting in a chair at the computer isn't comfy. Wah. Little bad moody. Should get comfy somewhere and just read.
Parents and brother to come over to my sister's house for dinner later so I need to be more social by 5 or so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm excited for your new kitchen, Consuela!

The first time I didn't have the film loaded properly. I was shooting and I didn't realize the film wasn't advancing. The second time I shot a whole roll and then advanced the film too far and pulled it all the way out of the spool.

The fried cheese curds were awesome, but surprisingly heavy. Definitely a sometimes food.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, bummer, Tom!
I have updated the OS on my iPad. Working on the phone now. This should not be so cumbersome.

Me, too, Jesse! I will definitely post before-and-after shots when it's done.
Definitely a sometimes food.
Oh, yes. I loved the cheese curds at my brother's restaurant, but I don't think I could eat them more than once a month.
BTW, Chicago-istas, the next iteration of the slowly-growing empire is in the works, and there will be a smallish version of the original restaurant in Lakeview within the year.

Mmm, fried cheese curds
Flea, that's awesome that there's so many kids on the block, and that its friendly enough you already know they exist!
I left my laptop cord at home and didn't realize it until I was halfway to the airport. Too late to turn around, but early enough that I reappy thought about it. Ugh. Last time I did this it cost $75. I already have TWO cords, now, because of that!!
