Not as much sleeping in this morning. I have to get all the clothes packed, the bottles recycled, and the cabin cleaned out by noon.

Working more today since as the Queen Registrar we have to meet and settle up the bill, which means rounding up WhiteWater and RiverSong (who has the check book). But since WhiteWater has the final numbers, I’m bailing.

I have to get out of here with enough time to make at least one, if not two Home Depot stops — one in Salem to see if they carry the cabinets I need (they don’t, they only have the new pre-assembled ones that won’t fit in the van), and the second in Jantzen Beach if  they don’t have them, or don’t have all of them. Jantzen Beach has everything except one piece, the door to the 9″ cabinet between the fridge and the sink. Handy to have the van. Handy to have a van that has auto-levelling — it took five minutes to pump up enough pressure into those rear shocks to raise the back end up from all those cabinets!

Guess this means I’m spending the next couple of days tearing out the kitchen in the Rose Street house. Better get Julian up here to help.

The downside of the Salem Home Depot is that I don’t get to go the back way into Portland, over the river and through the woods. Oh, well, summer.

Quiet evening at the city apartment, making plans for opera on Saturday (and who will that date be?), checking email, and generally just chilling in peace and quiet.
