| So today I
spent yet another 6 hours doing yard work. This time about 80% landscaping
in preparation for the other 20% gardening --- vegetables. |

| The home tour.
It's the first time since leaving 15507
Dornier Court that I'm calling where I live my "home" rather
that "the house" or "that place." And for the
dirt-cheap cost at Goodwill & thrift stores, I've managed to place a
few palm plants, candles and desk top lamps in my bathroom, bedroom and
office. |

office. Michael has his own in one of the other bedrooms. This one is like
a "bridge" between our bedrooms. |

| Second floor
bedroom that I've turned the bed 90º for better universal vibes --- head
to the north, feet to the south. It actually creates a bit more space and
I need very few horizontal surfaces to fit everything I own into a small
space. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| It also leaves
some space for plants. And hanging a few personal photographs and items on
the walls. Yes, it feels like a home for the time being. Light. Airy.
Ocean breeze. Mild temperatures. |

I sure miss Taco,
my wingnut right-hand man. |
I couldn't be
where I am today with that dog. Some days really SUCK! I hate myself on
those days. |
My
little buddy gave his life for me so I could have the freedom to be
where I am today. |
| And I've finally
figured out how to turn a house into a home. A few simple ideas for the
bathroom: (1) a table lamp for low lighting; (2) candles for even lower
lighting and a hot bath; (3) a green plant which has to be rotated into
the light each day; (4) personal photograph on the wall; (5) personal
stuffed toy. |

As Abraham Lincoln said: "if I had 8 hours to chop down a tree, I
would spend 7 hours sharpening my axe." That's what I do these days:
prep, prep, prep. I'm finally "back in my element." |
 |

 |
 |
| The planting of
seeds for the vegetable garden only took the last hour or so. The first 5
hours were preparation pulling old hedges, vegetation rescue transplanting
fountain grasses from neighbor Brandon's house onto Michael's and neighbor
Yung Mi's properties. Finally done and aching at 9pm! |

the Garden
Michael, where
are you? Urban gardening requires get-dirt-under-your-fingernails
participation, not just discussion. Ditto for irrigation systems and other
various home systems --- even as a renter, you have to take
"OWNERSHIP" and learn, then work with, your systems. Welcome to
the 21st technological century. |

| Food aid from
the state of California. Now there's a joke! Administered by each county.
Differently! And somehow $21
per month when you're
unemployed and spend 5 hours "in the system" filling out
paperwork and speaking with state employees make sense? What the fuck ?!?!
In one day I can do better standing on a street corner with a clever sign! |
I have an idiot
paralegal as a bankruptcy representative, in Palm Springs. Way too much
incompetence to discuss here. |

I received my project management certificate today. And my sealed
transcript.
