I've gone pink again! Spent some time at the salon with my long time stylist doing some impressively bright pink hair again - I need the sparkle. I also needed the haircut pretty badly. The dye in the bowls doesn't even come close to how bright
A surprise delivery of a preorder I made from Pegasus Books in Berkeley. I was startled by a knock at the door yesterday which is usually PG&E, but this time it was a very tall deep-voiced guy bearing a paper wrapped book. I love local bookstores! (this is
Another quick trip to Bay Street in Emeryville. Same planter as Day 20, but from a different side, different lighting, different time of day, & both feet this time. It was threatening rain & after dark today, so the flowers were all closed up. The brightness is from the shopping
Whelp, got a new water heater. This, plus more sewer lateral work is why this was posted a day late. I'm having some weird internet and login issues across various websites, so not sure when you'll see this. (Taken 23 Feb 2026, uploaded/posted/sent ~5pm
Belated Birthday gift outgoing for my Mom, wrapped in cheerful paper from Snow & Graham that I've saved for about 9 years (if not more?) to wrap something like this. (Also doing a LOT of cleaning & clearing out, slowly using all the packaging & "good boxes&

(Not pictured: grotty earplugs & a totally nuked schedule) Still struggling with some bouts of dizziness which is unusual, but not unexpected. Big weather shifts here. Plus major roadworks. Hoping a decent night of sleep will help (they’re here early!
Grinding weirdness. Been a couple days of this & developed a weird vestibular migraine last night so didn’t get this posted on time. Will have two posts/emails in a few hours, apologies, catching up.
This is why this is late. Below 40°F (~4°C?!) is VERY COLD in the SF Bay area. Plus I was awoken just after 7am by the longest rumbling of thunder & hail I thought it was an earthquake that just hadn’t started shaking yet. Needless to say
This doesn't look terribly official or enforceable. They will have big backhoes, so I guess it doesn't matter if it's legally binding or not. Not looking forward to a week of rain AND noisy road work for over a month. Oh, well.
