Sitting here and playing

Here I sit, wondering if I should make cookies first or breakfast bars; all this after I finished getting the laundry done. 

Also in a quandary. A friend of mine is on a vacation of sorts to the eastern part of the state. He received a post on Facebook from a man that we both know saying his fiancé is knowingly spreading his HIV in sexual exploits while he is gone. The fiancé says they are vicious rumors and completely untrue, but my friend says it would not be out of character for him to be doing, but cannot exactly trust the source.

The person who told my friend says he completely trusts his “source.” I am not so trustful. I sent him the following note (name of fiancé is starred out)”

“While I don’t know the truth, it would seem strange to me how your “source” would know this to be true unless he experienced it first hand as in having unprotected sex with ******* and never having been told by ******* he was HIV+. Outside of that, how would they in fact know? Where did they get that information? Second hand? Third hand? Also, how recent is the information?  That is the problem with information second or third hand, you are much further from the source and as I learned in the game of “rumor” in grade school, the story gets changed as it moves from person to person.”

So we shall see. I hate rumors, because they are truths wrapped up in lies and packaged in deceit. 

It is done, and I am pensive

Well, the office is mostly done, at least as far as the budget will allow. All the painting is done, the valence installed, and photos hung. The books are in the bookcases, and the Ikea chairs are assembled and put in place.

Still do to:
1. Install the hardwood floor.  After we buy it that is, and we do not have the $400 it would take to do that free right now.

2. Paint and install the trim. Another $100.

So the $500 or so it will take to finish we are putting to getting out of debt. So the subfloor is just fine for now, I may see about the cost of an area rug to go over it in the short term.

The fall rains have started, so there has not been one day that was not overcast in the past two weeks or so. Tried to go to Mt. St. Helens with my friend John but the fog was so thick it was like someone had hung a sheet in front of us. The plus side-I spent the day with an attractive friend whom I really like as a person who was seeing it all for the first time.

I downgraded the main Mac from Lion to Snow Leopard. I just didn’t care for Lion on the desktop, although the laptop will remain with Lion for now. It makes much more sense on the laptop for some reason.

Floors and laundry are done today, now on to making some pecan rolls!!!!
