Leah's Journal

20 JUNE 2005

Ever since my space-walk at TinselTown in Houston, I have been handi-capped -no pun. Still, I am on a mission to get my house clean by this upcoming weekend. The mission is a greater challenge due to multiple layers of fine mortar dust that cover all surfaces with a cloudy mist. The clouds of dust came from extensive facade work and seeped through every opportunistic crack or crevice. Now, I really understand my mother's term "dust-collector." The many that I have have been busy collecting.

Some of my friends are helping me celebrate my birthday this upcoming Saturday. There will be six/seven of us - all women. It should be fun. Great restaurant, great food, great conversation and lots of laughter. That's why the house really needs cleaning. Two of the guests are from Michigan and will be my guests for much of the time. We didn't celebrate last weekend because - yep, you guessed it - the house needed cleaning.

I defrosted my teeny, tiny freezer section yesterday of ice at least two inches thick. I had not much room for my frozen items with the icey invasion. And I wondered - just where does all of that ice come from? I'm still wondering.
