wednesday's rose was going out with shannon for drinks. we tried and shared a dirty martini, then i ate bubba's poutine for the first time on a bench.

thursday's rose was a visit with beckie.

friday's rose was painting the bathroom downstairs (it never ceases to amaze me how much a coat of paint can change a space) and vacuuming. that carpet really badly needed vacuuming, and it gave that satisfying static-y sound that indicates LOTS of stuff is being sucked up. also, i maguivered the light socket in the bathroom – the lightbulb broke off in it when i tried to unscrew the bulb, but i managed to get it out. i like bringing things through to completion, so when stuff like that happens, i feel like "ho-ya!"

friday's thorn was injuring my finger. lately, it seems when tenants move, we end up having to take a load of stuff to the dump. we were hauling guy's old tv, when it fell over and smooched my pinky finger. also, after all that, the dump closed early, so all the stuff is still in my car.
