house dreams

Ryan coming on Tuesday to measure. Loan approved. Des most likely available to be the contractor. Now I have to do it. Makes me feel itchy. Actually, I do feel itchy, and I'm not sure why. Too much sun, perhaps. I sat out in the back for a while yesterday afternoon, while the clothes were drying. I was reading the piano stories and trying to keep my face shaded. I was thinking that my right calf is oddly tan, because I roll up my pant leg when I'm riding my bike. I was thinking that I wish I could lose 5 or 10 pounds without trying. I was looking at the tangle of dead and unwanted plants in my back yard. And every once in a while I thought about the kitchen and the laundry room and what I want them to be when all the money has been spent.
