the wallpaper has been removed.
i’ve re mudded the section with the ex-door.
i sanded all the walls. especially the ex-door.
the room is covered in white dust. all of it.

tomorrow, i prime! perhaps, if i’m lucky, i’ll even get some actual color on the walls. dare i dream?

i took some books back the the ‘brary today and ran into a lady i know from church. we’ll call her “sue” because that’s her name. we compared the books we were returning and she had California Demon the sequel to Carpe Demon which i read for last year’s fiddy. we had this intelligent conversation:
“what did you read?”
“uh, Mockingbird and this other one. what about you?”
“i read this guidepost thing and this one.”
“oh hey!”
“yeah.”
“that’s!”
“uh huh.”
“oh wow! i didn’t realize it was out yet!”
“yeah, it’s good. you want it?”
“yeah!”

and she let me take it without checking it back in first. and sure, it’s got a whole two weeks left on the due date, but still…to me, that’s some huge trust. because i wouldn’t let just anybody check something out on my library card (liz). i’m pretty anal about that kind of thing.  so anyway, i thought it was really cool that she let me have it.

i’m looking forward to SNAKES ON A PLANE!
