Today's events were impactful. I pretty much finished the '04 taxes.

This has been a very impactful day.
There is a part of me that imagines
like may be over as I know it.

Last night, Scott burned a fire
in the fire place, and he and Anna sang
till late.

He trusted that the new grate for the fire place
may have resolved the problem, and he wanted a fire.

He did not ask first Jenn who had had a bad experience
with the smoke a few months ago.

The same thing happened again. Scott
could not remove a log from the fire place that seemed
to burn through the night. The smoke went up into
Jenn and Alejandro's room.

This morning their was a notice given in writing that they
will be moving out.

They are jewels here...new Jewels. It had been present
living with them. Housemates are difficult to come by
who want to live with so many others in the big old house.

I spoke to Alejandro later in the day. He said he liked living
here. I was very apologetic that this happened.
He said he would speak to Jenn.

We have a rare house meeting tomorrow night.
It was to discuss cleaning upstairs and who is willing
to participate and fulfill the duties of Every Day Upkeep.

The faucet in my bathroom hot water was not working...
the splcket that had been fixed now would go on at all.
I called back Rainbow, our plumber, but have not heard from him.

I showered upstairs. There was a wet towel that had been
left on the floor after someone showered.

The trap thingy that keeps hair from going down the pipe
was off to the side, and I could see gops of hair down the
pipe caught. I reached in and was apple to free up what would
have been a tremendous clog in the pipe if all the hair had gone
down. It hadn't been cleaned out in months. No one would reach
down and pull the hair out, as I did today.

I felt discouraged.

I was determined to get the '04 done, and kept working on it
all day. I basically got it down. My main accountant is a dear friend
who has graced with the help for this million dollar account firm.
They do my simple form. Joel, who does it when Lee is out of the
country, answered the phone. That was comforting.

So I made progress there.

There was also a call from Washington Mutual RE: the Refinance.
The plan is for me to buyout the other owners with my % of the
equity...however, all the explanation from the Loan consultant
was pretty much new territory for me.

I wrote it all down, but there is still the conversations with
my co-owner.

IT sounds like it is possible for me to get a new mortgage,
but I am not in a space to find new housemates for the room
that may be empty. They did give notice. Perhaps they will
reconsider.

There is always something going on here that asks/demands
time and energy.

I am not sure what is in the cards for me.

My percent of the equity is a considerable amount of money.

I have lived here since 1982. I am incredibly a part of this city
life...when I stop and look at even my limited outreach. It would
be a major uprooting, and to where?

The things I have in the house...what would happen to them all?
Which would I take, which give away?

What kind of lateral thinking is called for now?

My right hip is hurting. It has been hurting for weeks,
since I sat on this Ergo Ball I bought at the Pac Sym.

Like as I know it, seems incredible challenged.

I have two main choices....go into some kind of paralysis...
or just continue working on the '0t5's to get closer to a complete
on that. "04 is pretty much done, and near ready for mailing.

I have a week as of tomorrow for the Erotic Show....
in L.A. Feb 2. I will take a simple approach to just making
copies.

The EG Mobile seems to be in good shape.
IT did not need a transmission. A clutch adjustment
seemed to work. A new Master Cylinder was put in...that
was replaced in the last six months. It is tuned up.

My main sponsorship for the year for a foundation that
supports my work came through today.

I am listening to Jonathan Goldman's Medicine Buddha chant
repeatedly.

I felt an impulse to go out to the garden today and just surrender
to the trees.

There are forms I need to print tomorrow off the web site.
The house meeting will take attention tomorrow.

Not sure what the future holds. I am tired, but
not in a panic.
