we have been cleaning the house, because we are about to have company descend upon us for a while. my friend davey from boston will be staying here the rest of the week, then on sunday, heidi and matt will be here for a week, and then nancy will stay with us for a few days after icon before she goes back to portland.

then, no more people over for a long long time. that's what i think.

and i think that i am not going to australia. which will be weird, but okay.
