Hot Tub Excursion in East Bay
Brought the dogs to my friend Peter Herman’s amazing backyard. Got some great hot tub in while the dogs explored a novel place for them. Had great music and snacks and great company practicing my Spanish and teaching him a bit of Italian. I’m so lucky to have him as a friend through these tough times especially. I’ll certainly appreciate my hot tub when I get home to Wellfleet Drive again.
I’m very pleased with how some of my selfies turned out, and also glad I didn’t drop my phone in the water!
Wind Spinner Nostalgia
Brought some of my wind spinners over to the rental so it feels a little bit more like home while I wait for the house to be renovated. They were being surrounded by bamboo and weeds that I’m unable to fully tend to for now, so I might as well enjoy them in the interim.
This is what the Wellfleet backyard roughly looks like these days:

Fridge Replacement
The one that came with the rental was depressing and will now be used for supplemental storage in the garage, but I really missed a real fridge with a water dispenser, so it was very stress relieving to have this one installed, even if it is not ultimately the one that goes into my renovated kitchen back home.
