Friday, Day 29

One month and one day into the sabbatical.


And the bedroom is finally completely painted. No carpet so no moving back in, however.



Tom picked up and cleaned up the painting paraphernalia, and that took almost as long as the actual painting! I know I exaggerate, but we sure did accumulate a lot of brushes and tools and dropclothes and newspapers, etc. And when I say "we," I mean Tom.


We went to see our friend Jacqui's entries in an art show at the Rock Creek campus of PCC. Here's a picture of Tom by a drawing of Jacqui's papa:




After a yummy dinner of tamales, I was ready to sleep, but it was time to pack up more boxes instead. Although there is hardly any room to navigate in Ted's old room, we carried down box after box of books, trying to empty Ted's room to work on it next. We felt like poor Sisyphus who was doomed to roll the rock forever uphill. No matter how many boxes we carried downstairs, it looked like we still had the same number of books left.


Sabbatical Useful Projects Running Total: Started-9 (I forgot that last Saturday we helped with a neighborhood clean-up project), Completed-7.7.
