Current Mood : Pleasantly tired
Busy getting-ready-for-the-end-of-08 day. Got the last of the DPrincess holiday stuff scanned, so I could put it away. Although I didn't use it, it might get wrecked in storage, so it's safely copied on the hard drive. It took some doing to hack through the mess on my desk to get to the scanner, so that was next.
Once my desk was cleaned off - and wiped down, too ! - it looked so good, the rest of the Office looked like crap. So I got busy. Dug through piles of misc. junk and papers, excavated flat surfaces buried in junk. Filled a Mal-Wart sack with stuff that belonged in the Lab... that place never stays clean for long ! Got a set of bookends for Dearest Son's desk, and got him to put away toys and Lego bits that appeared when I swept. About two hours later, I had the room swept, wiped down, sorted, and de-trashed. Even got the rug vacuumed - and while it was out, gave the living room a quick run-through.
While cleaning, I found a tube of Super Glue. My Happy Meal Malibu Barbie toy had fallen apart this year, and glue was on the grocery list. Not any more ! She's fixed and dry, just in time for ornament storage. Oh, well !
Exchanged purses for an older, bigger one, and decided to donate two, and an ancient CD fanny-pack. Someone'll get a kick out of it ! That gave me more space in the purse box, so I got it tidied up, too. And I found my old Nightmare Before Christmas watch ! I thought I lost it, but it's been in one of my old purses - ever since I took it in for a replacement battery that the store didn't have. The floor of my closet was still a mess, so I moved some things around, and added a de-flapped box for the Knit Magic, yarn, and stamp pads. Angled well, it gave me enough space for a laundry basket, too. Much easier to get to stuff now !
Much better. Now, if I can just keep the energy going with laundry and dishes tomorrow...
Printed up a day grid for the DPrincess calendar I'm gonna reuse this year, when I realized the month banner also contained the year. No prob. I soon found a font I liked, printed out a few "2009"s to cover the printed 2008s.
Beloved Hubby worked late tonight, but came home with gifts from one of his frequent patrons. A box of See's truffles, another of assorted chocolates, and a round canister of butter cookies ! The wrappings were just beautiful - I saved the ribbon - and the jingle bell decoration is now an ornament ! I'm allowing m'self one truffle a day...
So, yeah, not a lot going on. Never got to the "sew" part of the day. But sometime between now and Wednesday, I'm gonna sew something !
