OK, I lied. I have a Saturday night post anyway.
I should be going to bed, but I can’t. Due to a harmonic convergence of depressing things, I just don’t quite trust myself to be with a pillow and blanket right now. So here I sit.
I thought I didn’t to anything today, but upon reflection I realize I actually did a lot. And it is so fucking boring I’m going to write about it and see if that makes it any less mundane.
Let’s see:
- slept in. Actually I was awake at 6:00 and wanting nookie and my wife said something along the lines of “yeah, right,” so I went back to sleep. Until 7:30! Woot. Tell me that isn’t awesome.
- Made coffee. And I make some bad-ass coffee, too, since I’m the only one here that drinks it.
- Went to Sears and bought a vacuum cleaner attachment. This replaces the one the dog ate. We now have a clean floor (dog hair being the main thing I cleaned up). Hmm. Seems I could solve two problems at once…
- Two loads of laundry.
- Took the family out to lunch. Mmm. Greasy cheeseburgers, root beer floats for the kids (the owner lets them come behind the counter and “help” her make them), and Guinness for me.
- Oil changed in the van, also washed and vacuumed and they even cleaned the tires. Also topped off power steering fluid (just a touch) and coolant.
- Mowed front yard. The grass was super thick so I couldn’t take a very big “bite” or the mower would bog down. Yes we’ve had 9 inches of rain this month.
- Dinner out (special treat, just my wife and I)
- IM chat! Woot!
- Made a couple of pointless blog posts
There, I think we’re caught up now. Is that better, Mindy?
