Do much of anything.<\/p>\n

I feel so behind on writing, it’s hard to get started back in. I’ll see if I can kind of pick up the highlights.<\/p>\n

Both my garage remodel and the new online student orientation started Monday. I’ve been trying to take a pic or two everyday – here’s what there is so far:<\/p>\n

Where my garage used to be – this is what it looked like Monday when I got home: cool, leafy, clean, just no garage.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tuesday they started sawing down the tree. They finished Wednesday, and by Thursday – when no work was done aside from installing the port-a-potty – everything was looking much more blasted and barren.<\/p>\n

Here’s the giant hole in the ground where the garage foundation used to be, and the stump of the tree.

Steps into the backyard, which is a sea of dirt right now.<\/p><\/div>\n

Where my backyard used to be – Friday morning.<\/p><\/div>\n

So it’s all sort of disheartening – mourning the loss of the tree, trapped in the house with dirt all around, in the limbo after demolition and tree removal, before any new construction has started.<\/p>\n

A week ago Thursday, before either Bootcamp or garage job started, I took lots of pics of flowers.<\/p>\n

The food was good at Bootcamp this year – and not too much. I took leftover baked potatoes from a lunch to the food pantry potluck Tuesday, but when it’s 85\u00b0, baked potatoes don’t go over so big – only two of the seven were eaten. So, when I got home I grated the potatoes and put them in buckets and froze them. Next time I cook pantry meal, I’ll take them and the cheese and the bacon and make some kind of potato-egg-cheese-bacon bake. I have two bottles of salad dressing, too.<\/p>\n

Last night we had corn & zucchini quesadillas<\/a>, and I made a pot of corn cob broth.<\/p>\n

And it’s Jerry Garcia’s yahrzeit – 24 years. The Grateful Dead sent me a picture – the days between, Jerry’s birthday and yahrzeit. I used it as my Facebook profile pic, until today when I switched to the corn flowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of how I’ve been feeling – the Days Between. I linked the picture to a recording, March 11, 1993, at Rosemont Horizon. Days Between, and Ken Nordine<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n
