Out for a Stroll

  Cathy's penguins are out for a stroll by her little pond.

Today, I felt as if I might be willing to walk farther than from the car to a store or the house. But not much farther. I walked five times around the circle of her driveway which is to say, "not far."

Then she taught me how to play a fun card game. It's called Monopoly Deal and is based on the board game. But the card game goes much faster! She beat me both times, but that's OK. It was fun.

I went over there to take a shower. We still don't have hot water, but Om and I spent all morning discussing options for hot water, flooring, and other house issues. It was a good conversation, and we agree on several overall guidelines that will make decisions easier.

That's about it. My life is very blah right now, and that's just fine. I'm still reading books.

Penguins for Paco's Party

 
We are now having a party every month in the mail & press room at work. If nobody has a birthday that month we will make something up. This month it was Paco's birthday. We may have come down a bit, or maybe it's because he's a guy? No decorations. But the food was great. He made chili, and so did one other person, and the rest of us brought appetizers. I didn't even get a picture of the birthday boy! I think he's 39, but people kept adding to the info on the whiteboard, so at last count it said he was going to be 6339!

I wanted to try something I'd seen, and they weren't too hard, and were a big hit. They even got their picture taken.



What was it, you ask? Little penguins, Black Olive Penguins.



The daily paper had to be out the window before we could have the party. Since I wasn't really working (although I did a couple things to help speed up the process) I took a picture of Krista who was doing the job I do, bundling, when I am working.



And... I'll get to do that in just a few more hours.

(haha- this post number is the last four digits of my phone number. If you know me well enough to know what that is, you can be impressed)
