I've been working on a slideshow of photos from Katrina this week, to be shown in church on Sunday. So, in case you're wondering, yes I'm very depressed. And I feel like just signing my whole paycheck over to Episcopal Relief and Development.
Other than that, things are pretty good right now. Parts of the apartment (the kitchen) are in reasonably good shape, and others are less together (the zone of randomness that is the bedroom), but it's definitely feeling like home.
I'm getting by on giving the Beetle a tank of gas per week, which kicks ass, considering that it was more like three tanks a week when I was commuting. The Beetle is sort of pathetic right now. We have some charmingly retro juvenile delinquents in our neighborhood, the kind who steal car emblems and hubcaps, so I'm missing one of my hubcaps. And I still haven't gotten the bodywork done from the accident in July, so it's hoopty-licious.
I've been pricing hubcaps online, and I'm considering going into the hubcap-stealing business myself at this point.
We're painting the church hall this weekend. Sexton Dennis is in charge, and right now it kind of feels like he and I will be doing most of the work ourselves, but I'm sure people will come through and show up tomorrow. We're renting a lift to do the top of the walls. The hall was the original church building, so it has a really high ceiling. Fortunately, the ceiling is wood and isn't getting painted. The lift has a platform that holds two people, so I asked Dennis if he wanted to join the Twenty Feet High Club, but he said no. We'll just be painting up there.
I have a kickass new computer at work, but I haven't had time to set it up yet, so it's just sitting in its box, mocking me with its speed and swankiness and flat-panel glory.
