Wonderful Weekend, and Really Summer?
Apr. 12th, 2004 12:14 amI hope we're over the last frost. I really don't know when it is, actually. It felt like really summer out though, this weekend -- I got a sunburn through sunscreen on one side, so I think it may be malfunctioning sunscreen, but that sunburn really does mark it summer. The greenhouse is essentialy up, it nbeeds to be pushed into the soil and the doors stapled on.
I read a really bad book called /The Crosstime Engineer/, which was sort of like one of those wish-fulfillment fantasy books written as a textbook case by an author who really had no wishes to fulfill.
The eggplant, ground cherry, and squash (delicata, pumpkin, buttercup, and zucchini) seeds are sown indoors. The jerusalem artichokes are sown. I need to find a place to get (possibly moldy?) bales of hay or straw in Vancouver.
I have lots of dates with cool people coming up, two of them tomorrow. :)
Had some good reassurance from the Juggler on Friday night, which I really needed. Hopefully I won't need more of that for a bit.
Back to work tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, actually, quite a bit. Friday felt good to do. Saturday wasn't bad either, though it was just meeting a new client and not actually work.
Oh, I needed to ask polypagangirl if she could help me out over the summer? *grin* Livejournal, the contact medium. Sandra's going fishing, and I need someone to work with me on friday mornings. Are you up for that?

Date: 2004-04-29 12:43 pm (UTC)I am not going to be living in Vancouver any more. Since our other roommate is moving out next week, rent will be going up, and since i can't really even afford the rent now - in fact, living in Vancouver has put me into a hole that i can't seem to crawl out of - i surely can't afford an increase.
So, i'm looking forward to the extra $350 a month, so that i can maybe pay down my debts and finally get the new lenses that i need so badly for my glasses (stupid tri-focal thin lenses cost $350 to replace - one months rent).
So, because i'm not going to be living in Van, i'm not going to be able to help you with the cleaning. In fact, i may even go away for a chunk of the summer now.
I'm so sorry. I hope that this doesn't inconvenience you too much, and that you can find someone else to help out.
