woke up around 6:15. derek came out around 7:45 and asked me if i wanted bacon & eggs. i said yes, assuming he'd be joining me. he wasn't. i'm not a big breakfast person. but we got started on the shed around 8am and started loading it until about 2pm when we headed off to home depot to get a ladder and some pruning shears. then stopped at super king where we picked up some salmon heads, beef cheeks, etc. i cleaned and fried the salmon heads, grilled the collar, prepared the beef cheeks for a braise in the pressure cooker, then made a tofu salad with cucumber, tomato and a peanut butter dressing. macerated some fresh strawberries in red wine and a little sugar.
went to check out the bedroom with private bath at 9pm it's right on the alhambra/s. pas border. but the place was in the condition that the previous tenant had left it, which included nasty stains in both sinks in the master bath. that was the killer for me. plus the rate which i'd understood to be $750 including utilities was actually $800 and not including utilities and it being on the top floor with a southern exposure it just didn't scream "you should grab me instead of house sitting for most of the month of june.
the plan is to smoke a cigar after derek finishes getting caught up with work and celebrate singleness; he received a document dealing with child support. he took that to mean that the divorce was final. i'll sleep in the driveway and have to be gone before the ex shows up at noon.
