Following on that thrill was yet another trip to the title insurance office to sign yet more papers as we try to successfully close escrow on our old house yet again. If it's a pain to sell a house once, believe me it's even a bigger pain to sell it twice.
The weather prediction for today was partly cloudy. Which implies partly sunny. I couldn't find the sunny part. Didn't help my general attitude. So mostly I worked on my friend Scott's quilt. The one for his sister. I find great solice in sewing. Just sewing. In reality, I probably spend more time at the ironing board than the sewing machine while making a quilt, but the whole process is great fun.
Dinner was a reworking of that chili which I didn't like at all. To what was left (which was a lot) I added more tomatoes, more beans, and a lot more seasoning: chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic and salt. Topped tonight with shredded cheddar (which is also one of those leftovers in the frig). Much, much better tonight. Randy added a salad with greens and fruit. And a wonderful blood orange vinaigrette.
After dinner I had to finish up the family drama, and then worked on the quilt. You've already read about all that. Not every day can rise even to the level of interesting. This one certainly didn't.
