It never did rain here today, despite the forecast. Flowers at the cemetery were nonetheless dewy. It was a weird sort of morning, not quite misty and not quite sunny, but a little bit of both. I saw a black dog by itself running through the cemetery, and did not take it as an omen. Professor Trelawney would disagree, I am sure. As it ran from me when I called it, I am certain it was not the Grim. Also, it was wearing a pink collar.
After finishing four loads of laundry, I walked down to the library as it continued not to rain. I now have lots of clean turtlenecks and leggings, and HP #5 on CD.
I went to the store to pick up sweet potatoes and a few other items, and it was blessedly not busy there. I think I caught it between the after-schoolers and the after-workers.
One more workday to get through, then I am off for four whole days. Sounds good to me.

Apr. 13th, 2008 09:59 pmI managed to get three loads of laundry done today, go me! I even put it all away. I'm very glad that it didn't rain.
I watched North by Northwest tonight, and I find myself wondering what the fuss is all about. I didn't think it was any great shakes. The dialog was stilted, the characters didn't act like real people do, and the story was full of holes. Even Cary Grant couldn't save it in my eyes. I felt the same way about Citizen Kane. But then I often disagree with the masses when it comes to movies. I thought Buckaroo Banzai was a work of genius. *g*

and lo, the sun came out and all was good
Jun. 10th, 2007 08:03 pmI managed to cross off a few tasks on my list today, and the sun came out (a reward?) so I grabbed my camera and headed down to Stanley Park. I got some lovely roses, a butterfly, some water lilies, and more. This little guy was really hard to capture (they're so fast!), but a passing woman had peanuts and he stopped to stuff his cheeks just long enough for me to snap his portrait.
So, yay, I got stuff done, and I got outside and took pictures. Another good day.

I managed to sleep in until after 8:30 two days in a row! That almost never happens any more. It feels good. I made pancakes for breakfast, even.
I'm feeling restless today... I really want to go outside, exploring and taking pictures, but yet again it is dreary & grey. I have a million things to do around the house. Bleah. Wish me luck, I'm diving in!

Once again, I failed to sleep in this morning. At least I got in a nap yesterday! I did, however, Get Stuff Done this morning. I just threw the fourth load of laundry in the dryer (getting out all my summer stuff-- yay!) and washed a bunch of dishes.
I watched The Good German last night, which was OK but not great despite the presence of George Clooney and Cate Blanchett. An interesting experiment in filmmaking, but not a great film. It was odd to see a movie that looks 60 years old, but with sex and foul language. It was also odd to see Tobey Maguire playing a not-so-nice character.
I'm off to central Mass. today to do![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
morvenwestfield's makeup for her new author photo (coyotegrrrl18 is doing the photography). That should be fun; we're going to goth her up!
It's getting more an more cloudy out there, looking as if the forecast for thunderstorms is going to hold true. It's just as well that I don't have outside plans today.
Enjoy your Sunday!

My ambition caught up with my plans today, and I've already accomplished more than I did all day yesterday. I just tossed the fourth load of laundry into the washer, and a batch of biscuits into the oven. Trader Joe's Multigrain Baking Mix rocks!
Heck, I've already read the Sunday paper. *g*
This afternoon, I have to find the energy to clean the kitchen & bathroom, and put away all that laundry.
Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate!

more ideas
Feb. 10th, 2007 10:47 amI just had a fabulous idea for making more space, this time in the bedroom. I have a small dresser that I got from my old packrat landlady (yes, corachaos, that landlady), and I started wondering if it would fit in the space between the bathroom & bedroom doors, where I now have one of those modular, plastic shelving units. I whipped out my handy tapemeasure, and voila! It would fit. Some further measuring determined that I could actually put the shelves on top of the dresser, thus making even more space. Of course, I'm not sure if that would work, but it's worth a try. So, today is another day of moving stuff around. I so need to clean off those shelves, anyway; they're full of stuff from my ebay days, most of which can be tossed or packed away for now, plus various & sundry 'deal with later' items.
Now, to decide what to do with the rest of the bedroom. Some of the stuff I can move on my own, but I'm eventually going to need help moving the dresser (once I decide where to move it). Well, I could probably do that myself if I cleaned it off and took out all the drawers, but that's a job for another day. Little steps: that's the way to do it. :)
Plus, it's laundry day. Second load is in the dryer now.
It's amazing what a difference a good night's sleep (and quiet!) makes.
