Worked.

Lin painted some more white.

Max scammed us and disappeared outside with the other kids for a really long time. When I found him he was covered in an ice cream sandwich someone’s mom had given him. Clearly we live in a hotbed of crime.

GOT RID OF THE COUCH IN THE BACKYARD.

Yay.

Moved the extra refrigerator down to the basement. This required taking the doors off it and taking out the sliding glass door downstairs (as well as dollying the fridge out the front door and around the buildings).

David and Lisa brought over another load of my stuff, including (yay) my television.

Lin and I ate at IHOP and went to Target (bought a booster seat so I can stop driving her tiny car all the time) and went to Sears (I now know about what I’m going to spend on a new TV).

We all had dinner from the Peruvian Mexican Salvadorian place on the corner. Great service and great food. We’ll go back. They do takeout (well) but don’t deliver.

While out back I discovered a bunch of frogs swimming in a bucket of paint-water left from when I cleaned the power roller days ago. Chai Latte paint–tinged frogs.

Bought a new string for the trimmer. Did I mention I found a trimmer in the shed?

A Freecycle guy came and took the old lawnmower.
And, lastly, no other progress was made, because just after dark and for a couple hours after, the entire neighborhood’s electricity went out.

But did I mention the couch is gone?
