There is a big stack of dishes in the kitchen that I don't want to do. I'll have to do them sometime today though as all the plates are dirty.

I spent the day yesterday running errands in the city. My second errand took me to my old neighborhood and I wasn't going to drive by the old property but as I got to the corner to turn to get to the store that was my destination, I didn't turn. At the last minute I decided, what the hell, it's only four blocks and three blocks away. So I did drive by it and they haven't done a damn thing once they cleared the land. In fact, there's a mattress on it now that someone dumped.

My fourth errand was to where my son works to take him my hot pen for wax work that quit working over a year ago and hadn't worked well for several years before that. My son likes to tinker with electronic stuff so I hoped he could fix it. Before I got done with my fifth errand which was still in the general vicinity, he'd fixed it and cleaned it up.

My fifth errand was delivering the wren box to the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, my accepted entry for the biennial CraftTexas exhibition.

I made four more stops between there and home (not counting picking up my hot pen) but I still have to go back in the next few days as the reprographics shop didn't get to my job before I headed out of town.

I finally have my wax model making stuff spread out on my work table in the house. Actually, I spread it out late Monday but today will be my first opportunity to get to work, that is if I ignore all the others things I need to do, like the dishes.
