I've ripped the zip out of Dr. Who's trousers.

Well, 2 in. doll zippers aren't that common, so it seemed a pity to throw them out along with the trousers. (I'm *still* sorting and putting stuff back from my bedroom & I'd come across a ziplock bag with my Dr. Who sock doll's extra clothes. His clothes are pretty shabby, but then he's an old doll.)

I got 'round to uploading a few pics- this one will hint at the awkwardness of getting Uglee furniture out of my bedroom.

And this one shows Tommy clinging to my bed as I was stripping the room to paint it. He figured if he pretended to be asleep, I'd leave him be.

I've got the bedroom ceiling painted and repaired 3 vinyl floor tiles & really, the room looks pretty good. The FlistGuestRoom OTOH now has piles. Ah,heaps of my art supplies, recipes/cookbooks, and other books I had stuffed in the Uglee furniture which is now in the living room awaiting bulk trash pickup day. I am thinking I'll throw out the huge box my toilet came in- I was planning to keep it for moving day, but it belatedly occurs to me that a box without a lid isn't much use, is it? Except if you need a really big piece of cardboard. I hate to throw out an *empty* anything, though.

Am feeling tired today, so I'm NOT going to mow, although it needs it desperately. I found a box of tomato plant food, so I'll feed them and maybe I'll drown out the mice in Bernard again-- they are EATING my zinnias, and burrowing underneath Bernard. I have photos.

Currently I'm going through photo reference clippings- I had saved bits from magazines, etc. for many years, back before Internet googling made it a HECK of a lot easier to find a pic of an Osprey if you feel like drawing one. I just can't bring myself to throw things out en masse, so I'm going through them all. And finding some really cute things, like the cartoon below this cut.

I have an Evil Plan which may not work, for turning a pair of elastic waisted baggy pajama trousers into a nightgown. I desperately need a few new nightgowns & don't like PJs anyway. It might work... ok, enough procrastination, been up since 7 and have only put up a few things & fixed a couple of tiles. Even for a lazy day, that's too little activity.

Onward and upward, Excelsior, California Awaits! I have been told there's a pizza place with GF pizza just down the block from blakefancier! EEEEEEE!!! Paradise!
