Big News
I'm not sure what's more significant this week in the grand shceme of things. An Israili scientist's Star Trek Hypospray painless injector got FDA approval, Sharpie came out with a Retractable Sharpie, or the fact that, late yesterday, my daughter decided that she could now walk.
And walk she does. She gets a big kick out of it. Though not such a fan of mobility in her carseat in the station wagon, she is a huge fan of mobility in the Miata, and now walking. Fast walking.
MoCoing the Loft
The computer has been moved from the library and into the loft. Rather than keeping it on the, granted minimalist but in such a econo way, white melamine computer desk, it is now on a steel and bluegreen glass computer cart. I used an Ikea LACK stacking table (the medium sized one) to hold up the HP printer/fax/scanner. I've gotten some gray flex-conduit from Lowe's to get all the cables together and some zip ties to hold things against other things. Next step is to move the stereo that is attached to the computer out of the library.
I also moved the Bowflex out into the loft. I used it in the loft fairly regularly before we moved it into the library. I have used it exactly zero times in the time it was in there, so it's out.
What the loft needs now is storage. I might make a prototype of the shelving I'm planning to replace the DVD/video game storage pie safe with for up there. Though, actually, the placement of the media storage pie safe really lends itself to me making the glass shelves. We get so much western light through the prismatic curtains in the afternoon. Glass just begs to show up over there. Also, I need houseplants. I'm thinking of propogating the fooyan out of the spider plant and also pilfering a few cuttings off the neglected jade plant in the lobby at work.
End of Month
Since it's the end of the month, I'll be making another month of photos in The Chronicles of Nina at my Pbase site. There aren't tons of pictures for Septemeber. What we have mostly is pictures from visits to my parent's house. We've been so busy that we just haven't gotten the camera out at home. Also, when Alison takes pictures, she takes three. When I do, I take 75 to 200. But then again, out of those, I maybe have four good ones.
