I lost my weekend.

On Friday morning I worked over at an IPS school on 10th / Dearborn. They are demolishing the building and I was working with an art conservator to help secure a mural that needs to be removed prior to demo. Interesting stuff, but I was really sick the whole time.. Manual labor while sick is no fun at all. It's really too bad they are getting rid of this building.. It's a beautiful building from the 1920's. If I get back in I'm going to take some pictures. I did however get some vintage hooks form the kid's coat rooms.

As far as losing the weekend, I believe I had a bad allergy... It's still undetermined. I pretty much laid in bed from Friday afternoon until this morning. It was awful. I seemed to be ok today. Jim came over and we wrote some music, then headed over to the chinese joint around the corner for some lunch. I kind of lost track of time after that. I've been cleaning up the house this evening.

I'm going to get Greta signed up for the dog park. I think I'll be able to make it that way tomorrow. I also scheduled an appt to get a estimate on finishing the fencing in the yard. Greta got out today, it scared me a bit. I really want to have the yard secured so she can't get away again.

Oh yes, one more thing. I won a free lunch for 15 at India Garden via the ol' business card in the fishbowl deal.. totally sweet... This is my second recent winning. The other I will post about later.. I'm waiting on a photograph.

Good news about Greta..


I had to take her in for emergency surgery on Saturday. She had a infection of the uterus (pyrometra). It really had me worried, but she made it through the surgery successfully. I picked her up early this morning from the vet and she's been sleeping pretty much the whole day. Poor doggie! I'm so glad she's going to be ok.

Greta Houdini

the movie

Yes, I crate a dog. This may seem cruel or unusual to you, but I find it to be necessary. In any case Greta is too special of a dog for this crate. There is a little bit of blood, but I assure you that she is just fine.. and definitely doesn't act like this outside of the crate!

new layout.

I hated the last layout.. this one pleases me way more. Also, there are a couple new sections.

I bought some paint today. I'm started painting my kitchen cabinets and will be moving onto the walls soon enough.

later!
