It feels like nothing, though I really did do a lot. I've been up and down all day. I was up late last night watching "Julie and Julia" which I really enjoyed, and I finished the book I was reading for review (Which will follow when I think about what I want to say.) But then this morning I woke up a bit before six and lay there wondering why I couldn't get back to sleep. Fortunately, just before I was about to say "Oh screw it!" and get up, I dropped off again, and got wakened about 9:30 by someone wanting to get me to donate to a charity.
I couldn't believe that I got two loads of garbage out AND put my wash in before Peapod got here, and was feeling quite smug, but then Charles called and said he wanted to pick up all the stuff I was donating to Felines Inc. (Caddy's old trees and a bunch of toys, a carrier, his litter box, etc.) so I had to find out where they were exactly. Turns out they didn't open until 12:30 so I had to put Charles off for a bit. He got here about quarter to twelve with Wilson who had Dawn's screen and my storm windows -- for which thank goodness as it's freakin' cold out there tonight! -- and I told him that I'd turned off the water in the front, but hadn't yet turned the back one off, so they looked into it and discovered that there was no handle, and the shut off was way to hell and gone inside the ceiling of the basement! In the process they discovered that my boiler was leaking badly, which the HVAC guy told me was okay, except it's gotten worse, I guess. *beats head on keyboard*
Then Peapod came and I carted Dawn's groceries upstairs and Will came along to put the screen back in, then they loaded all the donation items on Charles' truck, then they came back with the right tool to shut off the water, and finally they took off for Felines Inc, so I thought "Okay I can sit down and work now." Uh-huh.
Between the phone ringing all afternoon, having to go out and keep the walks clear, and needing to rush around moving laundry about, I pretty much got nothing else done. I only just had breakfast about an hour ago and it was a sack of Goldfish and some tea. I do have a brisket in the crock pot, but that won't be done for another couple of hours, so I'm thinking of heating up some soup while I run a second load of dishes. (My family curse -- and every family has them -- is to produce more dirty dishes and garbage than any six other families in the neighborhood. None of us ever figured out how we managed it, but that's the way we roll.)
I swear, I'm going to go fold my load of laundry and finish my Xmas cards tonight. I'm not sending out that many, it shouldn't have taken the better part of the week to pull them together. I'm so out of practice! I'm glad I'm starting slowly with just some local people.
This weekend is cookie-bakin' weekend. Should be nice and messy.
