It looks like the Diebold voting machine division is taking a step towards going away.

 

It’s still a novelty for me and it shows that the allergy shots are working. Today I had to walk home and back to get my spare scooter charger. I managed to walk the 6-mile round trip at 4 miles per hour and I was able to breathe through my nostrils the entire time and still get enough air! That’s something that’s never happened before.

 

In preparation for Nicole’s brother and his wife visit two weekends ago, we put a new faucet in the other bathroom, put in a new towel rack, and fixed the bathroom vanity door (that I broke when it broke my fall). Unfortunately they didn’t end up coming but those are in place for others, like when Tami comes to visit next week. Also, sometime this week a service will be coming out to pull all the weeds (mostly grasses) since they exploded after the rain.

At Nicole’s mom’s house we went to Sacramento to paint more this past weekend. We got two coats of paint on two of the bedrooms, got the bathroom cleaned up, got two coats of paint on the living room, finished painting the dining room, and we got a single coat on the kitchen. Preping the kitchen was pretty time consuming with all the lines and the mess to clean up under the microwave and refrigerator, and the countertop needing to be re-caulked. Dean & Marcia cleaned up the kitchen and the garage and got one of the bedroom lights working and are workign on fixing the garage door opener.

Next Sunday we go up for finishing touches and another coat of paint on the kitchen.

 

I just finished this book last night. Troy Denning knows how to tell an engaging story and is good at getting into the emotional state of Star Wars characters. Which really makes the endings land well. This one is no exception and now I’m really looking forward to what happens next. I don’t think the tensions between characters are any higher than after the last book but they are better directed and more personal.
