I got the art print that I won but didn’t win. The one where I got a winning notification congratulating me just to open it and find it was someone else who actually won the print that I complained about. It’s a lovely panoramic view of Adobe-style homes. It looks like either Arizona or Southern California. The only thing I don’t like about it is how orange the sky looks. What is it with artists painting orangey skies and photographers making their skies orangey, too? That’s just not natural. Especially when it’s a solid, even color. I like everything else about it. The woman who painted it is definitely talented, and I sent her a picture of it on my office wall. I taped it to the wall. Oh, the artist just told me it was in Palm Springs.

The project junkies across the street got rocks delivered today. The bad news is that they didn’t get a pile dumped in the street for them to spread out. They got them in large metal containers and it’s no doubt going to make quite a racket when they dump batches into their wheelbarrow. Then the truck has to return to pick up the containers. Tom said they were home most of the morning, but since I got up at 11:30, the truck hasn’t been there. Carrie is, though, because she waved and said hello to me when we were on our way out.

The question is why are they doing this? Do they really care about appearance? Is it just to have something to do? Or did the park get on them about that area being so patchy? I still can’t believe they’re doing it to sell the place although that would make me as happy as it would make me worried.

It’s too late in the day now for them to work, but I just caught a glimpse of the white SUV pulling out that visits often. Looks like she might have been in the passenger seat. I heard one bark from the big dog and a few from what I’m guessing is the smaller one unless it was someone else’s dog I was hearing. This was before I saw the SUV, though.

I got to try another Chinese place earlier. I got $18 worth of beef fried rice, beef and mushrooms, and fried wontons. It’ll last two or three days. This place is better than the last place.

We also stopped at CVS as well. I like how they’re selling individual pieces of candy if you don’t want a whole candy bar.

Tom has to go to the lab early tomorrow morning. He’s having a full panel done. He’s going to Quest instead of LabCorp. It’s a standalone lab instead of part of Walgreens.
