8/14: taking
...my car for an outside wash & inside clean for the first time on my own. Every other time it's been done, I've gone with Chris or Chris has taken it on its own. It's an embarrassing milestone, but a milestone nonetheless. And just so I didn't feel so silly: another woman who was in the waiting room with me mentioned that it was her first time, so I told her it was my first time too and said "yay" for us.
8/12: having
...a word-collage workshop night with a friend over the phone, using Thomas Hardy's poems as source material.
8/11: coming across
...this funny sentence while reading Peter Schwenger's Asemic, The Art of Writing: "An inability to write cursive can also be a disadvantage in less obvious areas, like cake decorating."
Coincidentally a friend sent me a video of decorated cakes that had misspellings. Not the same "inability to write," but how often does cake decorating come up twice, in very different contexts, and within a few hours?
8/10: another
...indoor picnic lunch with a colleague at work. We met for lunch and conversation at the start of the summer, and it was nice to have another one at its close.
8/9: taking
...the pamphlet I've been working on through one revision and then another, each one subtracting. What's left is oh so minimal--and complete.
