Dear Diary: September 3, 2007

… I went to the storage space to get 4 wheels to install on the wood “closet” that Jo gave me. Unfortunately, I rushed the job and the wheels weren’t level. The wood on the ends and the back was not good quality. I decided to take it apart and conserve the good wood only. I didn’t have space in the living room anyway. I still have visions of making “the Rolling Studio” someday when I have access to a studio space.

It was a lot of work to take apart (and noisy! My neighbours must be annoyed). I’m only half way through. I made two trips to the storage space but stopped as the sun went down. It is a secluded area. I wanted to take precautions. The hallways are not well lit. I was so content walking across the canal to my “studio space”. I love that area – it is quite beautiful with the trees lined up and the arch of the bridge. Felt at home in that I could go out in my “mucking out” clothes with a bandana in my hair. And feel quite comfortable. I don’t miss the over dressed pretence of Monkland. It’s a North End Halifax feeling…
