new pot, disappointment and issy makes it home


i sure have a lot of this thyme...what now? need some....? oops...i mean dill - thanks katherine...

the garden is growing and any day now there should be some red appearing on the tomato plants...hopefully....and some things, mainly herbs, are out of control, like the weeds that they are...if you need any thyme, mint, etc., come on by.
issy came home last night from her euro. vacation and by all accounts it sounds as if she had a great time - the backpacking was hard and may not be repeated but, she and her pal gita, were thick as thieves and had a good time together. i'm hoping this fuels issy wanderlust and she's off somewhere else soon...
it was a big weekend with some good times in portland with ailsa - eating burritos, drinking good coffee and seeing what was what (and there was a lot of what to see.)...and then some not so good times back in vancouver - shit happens - and things had to be dealt with. there were dropped balls and some disappointment and even some yelling on the phone to people who needed some yelling at - it happens. and really, it made me tired - not the portland stuff because that was fun stuff that resulted in 'fun' tired...the other stuff just made me tired and pissed off...but it's all sorted now and things are now getting back on their collective axis'.
and other stuff is wearing me out as well....i seem to be hemorrhaging money lately - on stuff that needs to be paid for but it still sucks...as well as some stuff/things that are not for the blog but have taken their toll on me as well. and i know stuff happens but some of it can stop happening any fuckin' time it feels like it...like now.
anyhow...it'll be good to get back to work next week - we have a short show starting but i look forward to the coffee breaks at the BOC, a place to go every morning, the daily routine...i welcome it. i also got a new lawn client today that will put a little more running around money on my shorts as well...always good to have some taco money...

ok...i'm making grilled cheese and having soup. i know how to party. yes i do.
