This revision is less like revision and more like writing a whole new book.  I keep thinking that when I get over this little rough spot, I'll make faster progress.  But the rought spot has lasted a VERY long time.

Rob and I walked to the library, post office and grocery store today.  This was after our big storm, when it rained buckets--again!  No hail or high winds this time, though, so it didn't bother me a bit.  We didn't even lose our power.  My librarian scolded me because I didn't have any books on reserve.  She loves Rob and me because we check out so many books, and they get funding based on usage.  Rob is really the one who checks out so many books; I'll have to do better.

I mailed off my contest prize today (from my website).  Rob was mailing off our taxes to our California CPA.  (For reasons unclear to me, we have to file a CA tax return.)

For dinner I made pizza.  Pizza is one of the great loves of my life, but I can't eat it (or I shouldn't) because it is so salty and I'm supposed to be on a low-salt diet.  But when I make it at home, I can use no-salt-added tomatoes and tomato paste.  I have a hard time finding the crust-in-a-can at my neighborhood stores, though, and I am too lazy to make dough from scratch.  Anyway, tonight's pizza was with cheddar and parmesan cheese, onions and garlic, and fresh basil and oregano from the garden.  It was pretty darn good.

Thanks for reading,

Kara
