Day 210: Big Ol' Spider

Today was gorgeous. It got up to 67 degrees. It was so beautiful out that I decided to open the sliders and let in some fresh air. The slider on the front porch is janky. The stupid door won't stay in the track. While I was outside kicking it into place (which made Rodney bite at my feet--I think he didn't realize they were my feet), I discovered this guy. I haven't really seen a lot of bugs or other critters in the area, so I was impressed with his size (check out his shadow) and as long as he stays outside, he's fine, but if he comes inside, I'll kill him. (I have strict policies when it comes to spiders.) Like I said, we haven't really seen much wildlife. The only wild animals I've seen in our complex are birds. Granted, they're giant black birds that make scary cawing noises and have such big wings that you can hear them flapping, but still... no squirrels, bunnies, nothing. I don't even see road kill. Perhaps that is due to mountain lions being in the area? (By the way, we did finally see some squirrels yesterday when we were at homeless point.)

Day 209: The Bulb

On the way to the grocery store, we decided to stop at Albany Bulb because there were supposed to be junk sculptures... We didn't really see much of that. We did see a lot of graffiti--some of it very cool, some pretty lame--as well as a hobo village... or encampment... something like that.

Day 208: Baby Quilt

Since I'm not home to do quilt day, I brought a baby quilt to work on.

Day 207: Vacuum

You know you're an adult when you have the furniture company trade in your TV for a vacuum. ":)

Day 206: Long Walk

Took the boys for a walk again. I love that this is where we go for walks (way better than City Forest) and that it is so close to the condo. I also love the warning signs at  the trail-head about mountain lions. On today's walk, Ash and I discussed what we would do if a mountain lion came running down the mountain at us. ":)

Day 205: My Job

This is where I work. Those are my assistants... um, they're on break right now. Until I find a job outside the home, my job is writing my novel. (I'm over 50,000 words now.) So, this is where I work. I have a computer and a phone, but I don't have a desk. Notice the Dr Pepper. It's a good place to work, though it doesn't pay very well.

Day 204: What are you typing Aunt Jen?
