ugh. . . .
My favorite form of procrastination, painting the downstairs of the condo is nearly done. By nearly I mean the bathroom door still needs painted in ultra pure white and walls in the dining room still need to be painted but we can't do that until some of our crap migrates to being in storage. The living room however is finished and looks a heck of a lot better.
I'm also in the midst of writing an uberproposal right now before mid May on my flying rocks. I would have been writing 2, but then I read the fine print that said if you were doing primarily solar system objects you weren't allowed to apply for the first set of grants. That's okay though, now it will be a fully integrated proposal rather than one submitted in two parts.And I'll have time to work on revisions around my observing run next week at Kitt Peak.
Also this week I have to apply for summer school. Downside is that it might conflict with either a) vacation or b) trying to get our crap together to move. Oh well, I'll do it anyways if I get in as it will be a good experience.
We're going to Craft LA tomorrow night for dinner and whilst I have clothes (have to decide what to wear), I had to go shoe shopping again. Unfortunately the shoes I was looking for are about as common as unicorns- comfy rounded closed toe stilletos. What can I say, some days I have shoe desires. I did instead wind up with a pair of strappy Sofft sandals with a 3-4 inch heel so it will work. Now I just have to ponder- 3 courses off the menu and then dessert or time to just order off the tasting menu? I'm not too sure about the appearance of sea urchin on the tasting menu the past few weeks. Either way I'll need to do some exercise to make up for it all and unfortunately swimming is off the table for another week thanks to my stupid ear so I guess the dog and I shall be going trail running this week.
