it's too cold to contemplate actually going out tonight. even though i am going through bad-jukebox-shuffleboad withdrawal. and quite possibly drinking copious amounts of beer withdrawal. and most certainly not even thinking about drinking screwdrivers ever again, since seriously, i was a drunken fool for krewe d'vieux last weekend. my legs were sore on saturday from following the hot 8 from the bywater to the french quarter to the bywater again.

very relieved it is friday, and that means tomorrow is saturday, and i am going to wake up and paint and pot some plants and then do community outreach in district five. hooboy! i am thinking about going to barkus on sunday. i don't know who i am kidding. i'm going to barkus on sunday.

i infiltrated an abandoned pool last weekend. it was raining, and cold, and pretty much a miserable day. part of the city flooded, as per usual. last night i was out in my garden, and i saw that my broccoli has sprouted little itty bitty broccoli heads. it was pretty exciting.

images from the city

i've been listening to an obscene amount of sad, old country these days. i think it's because i miss georgia- the location, and the time i spent there, and the people i knew, and who i used to be. that rickety old house where we fell through the floor a couple of times. and used to drink too much too early in the day. last night there were many people in my dreams who i will probably never speak to again. eventually it won't feel strange that i don't see them everyday.

it's cold and raining here in louisiana today.
