"I don't think anyone should write their autobiography until after they're dead.” Sam Goldwyn

spent part of the day framing some of my work and then moving the recycle containers because May 1 we go single stream which means we don't have to keep things in different containers. that has been a pain and I am looking forward to making it easier. however we are very good recyclers and produce very little actual garbage because I also compost all my organic non dairy and non meat food.

Abi has not reacted too badly to the shot this time. Dr. McGeorge gave her a smaller dose and already her lip is less swollen. she is drinking a ton more water which is normal and many more pee clumps to scoop from her boxes. I also decided to use some museum putty on some of the items she likes to head butt off tables in order to get attention. like the tray on my bedside dresser and my basket of nail polish , tooth floss etc gimrackies (is that a word?)  which sits on a console table behind the den sofa.

my neighbor has continued to flagstone and concrete her back yard. she had the guys tear some out and lay more down in another location do that about 3/4 of her yard is all hard-scaping. I really don't get it. not at all. I an still reading the Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys for my women's book group and am loving it. It is the story of Mrs Rochester. Afterwards we will read Jane Eyre.

Jim has cooked chicken Marengo and while I have no appetite I agreed to eat a little so I don't pig out on  cake later tonight.
