I have no idea why it's so hard to get here on a daily basis. I think about it.

I don't know what it is -- my current theory is that it's a violent reaction between some of my products but yet again I have a giant rash/pizza face all over my face. This time it seemed to be triggered by a sunscreen and some suntime -- but I used this sunscreen before without incident. My face looks really hideous -- we're talking nose, cheeks, chin and forehead (so the whole thing). It was just clearing up from the last time. Last time I thought it was from drinking herbal tea and thinking bad thoughts (seriously.) I don't know but it's kind of depressing feeling so supremely hag-like.

Fantastic relaxing weekend. I cleaned the shop, top to bottom, bought some shelving, defrosted the freezer, swept, organized, tossed. It's a whole new world out there. Bob claims the large stack of dead electronics is going away which will help even more. I also made major headway cleaning up the yard and planted a bunch of new stuff. The tomatoes, esp. the Roma are looking good.

I'm reading Empire Falls by Richard Russo and loving it. Plus I'm mostly caught up on the magazines and newspapers - oh, except that new Entertainment Weekly that came on Saturday -- I actually don't even know where it is right now.

Bob will be back tomorrow. I baked cookies and stocked the fridge with some of his favorite stuff and bought some flowers. Looking forward to having him hanging around here fulltime again. Rock on High Sierra!
