On busy days like today, I’m thrilled that my house if full of knickknacks. Meet Coco, the incense holder.

Grace noticed this romantically shaped split walnut on the back porch. It makes for a nice picture for a fairly relaxing day.

I caught this picture at a local diner called Beverly’s. Waitstaff have a particularly clear way of expressing exhaustion through their body language which I think is captured in this picture.
My day was also a bit physically taxing but really good. We spent the morning getting a bunch of furniture moved into our house including Alex’s bed. Thankfully I was able to do basically nothing for the rest of the afternoon.

No real story here. I just liked the strong shadow falling across the carpet in the office.

It was just a non-stop frantic day of meetings, errands, tasks and toils. When I finally got a glimpse of my pillow, I was so excited. It may sound like I’m complaining, but really, it was a good day. A day of frantic effort when combined with measurable accomplishments is always a thing to be desired. Plus you can always count on a good night’s sleep on a day like this.

I had several framed photos to ship out today so I made stop at the local UPS store. They had this huge back of packing peanuts sitting in the corner. I had to resist the temptation to buy the whole bag, take them home, fill the bathtub with them and leap in. Or maybe see if I could fill a Mini Cooper with them.

OK, it is admittedly a bit of a desperation shot but thankfully the time between my desperation shots is getting father apart instead of closer. In any case, these two always make me smile when I open the refrigerator.

It’s amazing how much a good bike ride can improve a day. I always know that my work day is going to be a bit better when I see these shoes tucked under my desk. I just wish I would be better about going to bed on time, then this would be a more frequent sight.

We are finally all prepared for Alex to move in. Of course, this now necessitates that I finally completely vacate the library which is going to become his room. I’m just amazed that I found places for all of the stuff I had crammed in this room. 
Can’t wait for Alex to start filling it back up.
A day with a dead iPhone is a day worth skipping.
