Been on several morning walks around our house-sit neighborhood. Nice and residential, bordering a golf course..but NO SIDEWALKS-bar the red brick paths that seem to lead from the curbside to each front door. Everyone who walks must walk in the street. Racist? Classist? Just incredibly bad planning? I might also mention the complete dearth of bicycle paths in this entire city...the capital I might remind you. It makes me both angry and embarrassed.

Picked Paul up from the airport, he's back from L.A. :)

Completed the second draft of my screenplay. My teacher was exceptionally complimentary. She say three more drafts and I might be done!

Yet payed the rent (no late fee until the 10th).

Shopped for a dress to wear to Paul's graduation festivities this weekend, and my friend Christa's wedding in Indiana on the 12th.
