another beautiful sunset

I think it might mean that the air quality is bad, but the sunsets have been so lovely that I almost don't care. The second shot was taken about half an hour after the first one -- as the sun descended, the clouds lost their color.

I have been getting a little more serious about the remodel. I got quotes for caesarstone and neolith from Fox Marble -- the latter is about $900 more than the former. Worth it, I think. Des is going to look at the plan and give me a sense of how much the construction would cost. I'm bracing myself for the cost of dealing with dry rot and other "old house" issues. I owe the architect a few thousand dollars, so far. Can I afford this? It is interesting to be out on a limb, even if it's not life and death.

I'm losing my grip on okc. I looked at myself in the mirror yesterday and saw an older woman with a ring of fat around her midsection and a plainjane face. I'm interested in myself but I don't blame the men out there for not seeing anything all that interesting. Maybe it isn't the forum for me. I don't know if there's any other forum that would work. I can't see myself suddenly gaining dating skills. I could perhaps push myself to look out for opportunities. But what would that mean?
