Today at work it was like I was in my own little world ALL DAY, with hardly an interruption from the outside. I basically came in, had my tasks to do, which took the whole day, and then closed up. there were a few people that came in, but nothing to write home about. I like going down to the dock at the end of the day to put the crate of crabs back in the water and throw out the fish guts. Seagulls wheel around me for the scraps, and it's such a beautiful view. I like having the responsibility of handling things on my own.
I was putting all the display fish away, scooping out the clams into a bin, when suddenly I thought: clams. I want some. so I brought home a bag, along with some coconut milk. I'm going to cook them in coconut milk/lime/honey/garlic etc...some sort of yummy concoction. And have them with crusty bread. And a salad.
I thought I'd lose my muscles this winter, but I am pleased to tell you (as I am sure you are pleased to hear) that due to my continuation of full-time work, I am still in possession of a solid bicep. Why is that the foremost thing on my mind to share? I should probably be concerned about that.
This morning I woke up when it was still dark out, so it took my eyes a bit to adjust when I turned on the living room light. Through my squinted eyes I began to decipher black dots...everywhere around my feet. As my eyes got used to the light, I saw that I was standing in a pile of feathers. Just delightful. Thank you, Eastre.

absentee
I have been absent since my neighbour moved back to Serbia, because his internet left with him. But recently 'fubman and I have jumped the gun and have gotten our own 'net again. I'm working full time unexpectedly, which helped with that decision. Internet here is expensive. We can't get it for less than $60/month!
I'm working full time because my manager quit. Now i'm the only employee.
Yesterday I had a day off and it was gloriously sunny and warm. I went for a sunset walk with Maike in the evening. We walked to the 4th street dock, out to the point that juts out into the sound and shared a beer and took pictures. She's so lovely. I've reflected recently on how so many people have come into my life recently, but she's the one I've wanted to keep there. I'm so picky about my friends, I never realized. I'm the one who's kept people away from me.
Today Maike and I have plans to go out and catch some crab for dinner if we can. There's a very friendly dude who Shawn and I got to know because he works at LA grocery - a place we often frequent because it's open until 11, and the the co-op grocery is only open until 8 - who I also saw all the time this past summer at trilogy, because he'd get free bait for crabbing. We give out fish scraps for free. One time we got to talking about crabs, and one way or another he ended up offering me the use of his crab trap, which is always hanging out at the docks by trilogy. So...today, Maike and I are going to take advantage of that offer! If we don't catch any dungeness, I have plans to buy some spot prawns from work and make an avocado salad topped with lime-chili-coconut-dusted pan fried prawns. So one way or another, today is going to be delicious!
It is sunny and fine and I've been inside all day...time to venture out!
