Full of food, sleep and dismay...

[msfledermaus]

I finished up my work day yesterday and ambled home, in a bit of a mood. Someone had taken that day's assistant on my floor's street shoes and stuck them in a toilet in the men's room. Classy. The kind of thing most kids grow out of in 3rd or 4th grade or so. Happily the shoes were um...uncontaminated, but the assistant was upset enough that he had to go home early. I probably would have too...

But my mood was brightened considerably by running into a small block party deal in the big park area near home. Some neighbors are going on sabbatical abroad to study, so they were throwing a goodbye party. It was nice hanging out for a while and getting to know the neighbors I don't see very often. Plus they made exquisite guacamole:)

So once again, when the world gets weird and oddly hostile, coming home to the island makes everything all better. I harvested hot peppers and watered my tomatoes. I washed some clothes. I soaked in a cool bath with a book. I fell asleep listening to the boats rolling by on the river.
It's all such a good, good thing:)
