a smattering

george made this nifty little circuit tester! it lights up AND buzzes! he plans to use it on our sick rabbit in order to fix things like the headlights.

speaking of rabbits, my sister's rabbit, andrew, died this week after living to the ripe ol' bunny age of ten. after her first rabbit, fluffy, died mom and i went out in search of the perfect replacement to give her as a christmas surprise. we found andrew and managed to keep him in the house and a secret from her for something like a week. she opted to have him cremated like i did ollie - if anyone finds a bottle shaped like a rabbit, please let me know.

speaking of things being sick, my grandfather goes in tomorrow for some heart surgery. in addition to needing a stint in his artery, he has a touch of pneumonia in one of his lungs. he's spunky (like his wife was) but old; here's hoping everything goes smoothly tomorrow.

today continued to be full of baked goods: pitas, maple cornmeal muffins, and finally, polenta for dinner (which is still in the oven.) other highlights of the day included:

- breaking little pieces off of plants at OSH to bring home and root
- getting some new sheets
- george coming home for lunch

tomorrow we hope to bike out to point reyes station like all the cool kids do. (tons of people bike from san francisco to pt. reyes on the weekends - flocks! oodles! droves! murders!)
