Editing taking longer than I expected...
Jun. 2nd, 2006 01:16 pmThen again, I'm probably not doing too poorly, having biked to the Lodge for the ham breakfast (of which one might say: "The first rule of ham breakfast is never to talk about ham radio!" But I digress...) and back soon after. I'll probably be going to the store again, to help out with whatever passes for the Friday crowd these days.
The center where our store is formally notified us that they want us to be out by the end of August. Apparently, the liquor store next door figures (and probably with cause) that they'd make more money if they had more display space. Given the traffic through that store, I'm not surprised. What does moderately surprise us is the center's owner telling us that no other space was available in the complex for us, which I interpret as a way of saying "We don't cotton to your kind 'round these parts," but with a California accent. This development will require some thinking.
I had a marvelous conversation with Galina today, we hardly spoke about our financial straits, concentrating on trying to figure out when Galina would be coming back to Pagosa and whether it would be worth while to keep the small house in Houston for whatever reason (and I can name two off the top of my head). This, too, will require cogitation.
The big edit job is done, and I'm happy in a kind of brainless way. The overall quality of the work I reviewed was not so much dismal (though some truly was) as it was... disappointing. For a set of documents that really must be internally consistent, there was precious little up-front effort, which resulted in extra cycles being burned on the back side. (There may be a pun in there, somewhere.)
Tonight, I'm tentatively planning to go to the kids' place for dinner (steak and corn on the cob, yum!). Tomorrow, I'm planning to have Mike and Karen over to the house for dinner, taking a go at LJ friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitiara's posted recipe for chicken carbonara (ulterior motive: to force myself to clean the place).
Lots of stuff to do; so little time.
Cheers...
