Last week I bought a new iPod, to replace my old 4G nano, which I fill without making a dent in my iTunes collection. Now that I've got 160gb to fill, I've started ripping all my cd's onto my computer...this is box 1 of 4. Such a long process, but eventually I'll have my whole cd collection with me everywhere I go. Currently, I'm at about 20gb.

Along with her flowers, my g/f is growing her own herbs. Today we were finally able to find something the would allow us to hang our window box off our balcony. We've already taken advantage of the fresh herbs by adding our own basil and chives to last nights dinner. Brilliant!

Another day at the hospital. Thankfully, this was a scheduled visit, not an emergency one, and it was just to have some more tests run, and it only took about 2 hours or so. I took the day off to take care of my g/f, as the meds she was put on for these tests are pretty heavy duty. But at least this visit wasn't nearly as bad as our previous ones.

We've had so much rain the past couple of weeks, that the ground is still soaked and no longer absorbing the water. A few sunny breaks haven't been enough to dry anything out.

The city is being over run with dandelions, and nothing is being done about it. It looks trashy. Good to see my tax dollars going to keeping the city looking good.

Some time last winter, a tarp appeared on my route to work. I wasn't sure what it was covering, and the city wasn't revealing it any time soon.  Recently, they finally removed the tarp and developed the grassy area around it into a small rock garden. This is what they were hiding....I have NO idea what it is, or what it's supposed to be. There's no signs explaining anything, not even who the creator of it is.

We bought (and by we, I mean my g/f) flowers on the weekend. This is her first attempt at potting her own and caring for them. A friend of hers gave us 2 pots and a window box we could use, as she no longer needs them, and today the flowers got a new home. She's pretty excited by this, and I can't help but laugh at how giddy she is.

My g/f's parents are on holiday in Maui right now, we we agreed to stop by the house today to do a little work for them. I've been given the task of cutting the grass. I haven't cut grass in about 5 years (the advantage of living in an apartment building). I don't mind the chore, but my allergies hate it, and I forgot to take an antihistamine before heading over here. Ugh!
