Day 141 January 27, 2002

Laurie rushed out to her swim meet around 11 and I grouted the bathroom tiles ("delorean grey"). Grout comes as a colored cementious powder that you mix with water. Then it gets forced into the spaces between the tiles with a rubber float. When it has partially set up, you shape it with a special sponge. It's not hard. Actually, it only took a couple of hours. The rest of the time I read "Dreamcatcher". I finished it. A good book, two thumbs up from me. As an aside, I must say it disturbs me that I feel guilty spending the day reading a good book. When did this happen? Why have I let myself become brainwashed into feeling guilty if I'm not working 100% of the time? It's sick and twisted! I work my skinny white butt off most days but for some reason I feel guilty if I try to relax.

3 hours, sunny and warm.
