Slept well and got a lot done. I put Lensa on my phone--it's all the rage--but unfortunately, I don't know how to operate it. I really prefer using the laptop for most things; maybe I can transfer it.
Ran into Suzanne at the mailboxes and we chatted a bit, but both had plans. She had her book club and I was anxious to scout out the rental on Lang Street Jim had told me about. I packed a lunch, got my trusty cart, and set off for the bus.
It had been weeks since I traveled that way and did it feel good. It was a fairly cool (for southern California) day, but bright and sunny, the way I like it. Got off at the transit center and walked the way Jim had directed. It looked like a nice neighborhood and I found the house without too much trouble.
I looked in the windows; living room is small, kitchen rather nice. I couldn't see in any of the other rooms, as there's a stockade-type wall (see right of pic), which isn't a bad idea. This place is, of course, very much a long shot. For one thing, it's as far from the transit center as the bus stop is for me here. For another, it may be out of my price range; for a third, it's Jim's place I really want. That would be ideal for me, having another room and being only a short walk to the transit center and mall. In fact, I walked over to his place after. Didn't ring his bell, I just wanted to see it in daylight. Damn, I'd give anything to have one like his.
Back to the transit center and happy to bus to town. It wasn't at all crowded--nice for a change, although I like the hustle and bustle--and I browsed in the shops. Bought a light flowered top which I may or may not wear to the BCNN Christmas lunch today. I also bought--I should be ashamed to admit it!--a small ceramic Christmas tree with a pot attached. (I can't seem to help myself!)
Ate my lunch, as I like to do, across from the mission and it felt so good to be there again. Home about 3:30 and I continued the Christmas decorations. Suzanne and I both did our doors and this year, it's an angel theme:
Mine is the tapestry, hers the wreath and she added the angels and pine in between.
