I suspect my neighborhood lost that bit sometime in the past when streets were widened to be two-way. They're still pretty narrow. Good thing we have parks.

Then again, we don't have squirrels.

I'm thinking I want to whip up a baby blanket for my co-worker who is going on maternity leave November-ish, so I took a peek at my yarn stash and it is TINY. I must have gotten rid of a lot at some point is all I can figure. Or I've hidden the bulk of it from myself somehow. Can't rule that out.

Aha, found a tote bag full of yarn, for some reason. None of that feels nice and soft for a baby blanket, though, so I think I will still be heading to Michael's soon.

I may have to look into our city code about the trees and sidewalks. They treat the trees as theirs, even though they are clearly on the homeowners' property--you have to get a permit to do more than prune them, but they also say the homeowners need to fix the sidewalk

Complicated!

I'm glad you are there with your dad, Lee. I'm so sorry about the reasons why.

betwixt sidewalk and street

I know some people who call that area "the marginal yard," but I've always like the term "besidewalk."

I'm sorry, Lee, but as Burrell said, I'm glad you could be there.

ita, I hope the job situation goes well. Me, I got rejected for one thing and I think I'm being rejected for another: I interviewed six weeks ago and haven't heard a peep from them since. SIGH.

Bummer, Consuela!

Despite sleeping in my own bed last night, I woke up at 5 this morning. Booooo! I puttered around the house a little, and came in to work a little early. Still so tired.

Waking up at 5 is what happens when I'm doing everything right. And yet, very tired this morning, too.
