Lis's Project 365

This is just the other end of Newton.  And this is why why just have network over-the-air TV….we have really good reception.

Today at work we did pendulum painting.    The empty glue bottles worked brilliantly, and all of them hanging there together was, as my coworker and I decided, very satisfying.

Went to the local Swap Shop today to drop off a few things, and spotted this pet bed.  Brought it home, washed it and set it out on the porch.  Ferrous spotted it immediately, and after staring at it with some apprehension, he stepped forward to investigate.

Click through to see the results of his investigation.

Some of my work friends will recognize this car, and some will view it with joy and fondness, while others will view it with unadulterated loathing.  It’s getting a new paint job this week….not sure what’s happening to it after that.

I was happy to be able to get Ollie off the eggs without incident.  Turns out, they’re all what herpetologists call “slugs.”   So I will dispose of them.  What an exciting little chapter in Ollie’s story.

For days, Ollie has been under his log.  Hasn’t budged.  Usually that means he’s shedding, but he just shed a few weeks ago.  So today, I stomped in there, told him I’d had enough, opened the tank….and found this.  And now I am totally flipping out.  Flipping…the… fuck…out…..
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In an effort to generate less plastic waste, we’ve switched to dish soap in bar form. So far, I am very pleased with it.  Next stop:  shampoo.

Bob and Kat had a birthday/July 4th BBQ today. These are the remains, on their kitchen counter.  And it all felt so normal, sitting around, eating too much, catching up with friends.  Good times, at last.

There is a wall at the back of the turtle tank to keep them from falling out,  and there are holes in it so we can lift it off to access the tank as needed.  I took this shot through one of the holes, to see a view of Frida turtle “sunning” herself.

I’m not a huge fan of Rancatore’s ice cream, but I do like their outlook.
