A quick peak at the under the window shelves I put up in my bedroom. Most likely there will be a 3rd shelf. This is the unfinished, unarranged look. I'll update the pic when I'm done.
And yes, I watched the Michael Jackson Memorial in its entirety. IMHO his fame and talent warranted the time spent. Now, if Palin and Sanford would just disappear...
I have never really been happy with the Gitzo Pan and Tilt Ball Head. It was very expensive back in the 80s and I've used that expense to justify lugging around a heavy, clunky hard to use tripod. The final straw was misplacing the screw required to attach the camera to the Tripod Head. I went online at Adorama and found what I hope will be the perfect solution. It's a lightweight Magnesium Tripod Ball Head with a Quick Release Plate. I will leave the plate on the camera. I even bought an extra plate for the Fuji so that both cameras will be tripod ready at all times. It looks as if it pans but there is no lever so I'm not sure it will be as handy as I'd hoped. We'll soon see.
...Financial plan for the month needs to be considered
...Set some spending goals for maintenance
1. guest bathroom plumbing repairs
2. lighting for master bedroom and bathroom
3. railing for stairway
4. siding repairs
5. window replacement
...Get the planned shelves up and organized for both the kitchen and the bedroom
...Find a pattern for 'wristies' and begin a pair
...Take the dogs for a walk on the beach
No particular plans set for my day.
Without a plan nothing to speak of happened.
Amber invited me over for conversation and waffles at the end of the day. I made good progress on my new diet. Other than the waffle I made no deviations from the plan. I would describe myself as highly motivated on this.
Have an appointment to pickup a Glucometer, evaluated the pros and cons and dismissed the idea of checking my blood sugar. I went on to consult with a Dietician. I really enjoyed the session with her. Congruent thoughts about nutrition and a great plan for moving forward that will NOT be a huge change for me. Goal is steady weight loss with carbs limited to 30 grams/meal. No calorie counting at present.
I thought about driving to SF for the weekend. I wouldn't be able to leave until late afternoon and that puts me directly into 4th of July weekend traffic which is a BAD idea. I might be able to console Karin which is a GOOD idea and get some great fireworks shots. Karin released me from any obligation I might feel to be there while she is hurting with legitimate concerns about dog issues.
This year I will settle for Eureka Waterfront Fireworks if I can manage it without a functioning tripod.
Nothing planned got done.
Read on Facebook that Karin crashed her bike and got 7 stitches in her chin. Too far away to hug her and to comfort her.
Money in the bank, up to date on projects, moving forward with health issues.
