Another day in the life

torquillThe Cute Guy's name is Mike. I planned to ask him this morning, but first he was napping, then he got on the phone and was still conversing as we got to Davis. So instead I went down the car to someone I know he's well acquainted with, an older fellow, and asked. He suggested that next time I see TCG, I should greet him with "Good morning, Mike." A bit of mischief there. :)
The friend's name is Tom, which he gave me after I gave him mine. I doubt anything substantial will come of any of this, but it provides some small amusement for my early mornings. Besides, I'm stretching my boundaries and building confidence by talking/lightly flirting with strangers, which is something I've never felt comfortable with. Yay personal growth.
In other parts of life, the showers at the ARC are still fairly adequate, if a little drafty. Well worth it for an extra fifteen minutes in bed this morning.
Slow today, which is fine. It was quite a weekend -- I discarded my plans to go to Picnic Day in favor of helping with an emergency move. Eight hours later, I was still reasonably alert and carpooled down to San Jose for a party; I stayed over, got zinged by a mattress that is still a little too new, and spent much of the next day sort of out of it. I got a Dr. J appointment, though, and finally scored the ice cream I've been wanting for two weeks, so it wasn't a bad end to the day.
I responded to the frost warning last night (a month late! wtf) by putting plastic over the melons, which have flourished, and burying the still-tiny cucumber starts. I'll unearth them this afternoon. I suppose that not having planted any tomatoes yet turned out to be a good thing, as they and the peppers were easily carried to safety indoors. I hope that's the end of the cold weather... I want to get this garden going.
Ooooh, I need to pick the peas. Forgot about that.
