Wednesday

[chochiyo_sama]

How annoying.  I had a large entry about halfway done, hit a button by accident and apparently deleted the whole freaking thing.  Dammit.

Now I have to reconstruct it from memory.

I slept in till about 11:30 today.  I have to start getting myself on a better and more regular schedule for being asleep and being awake.

I didn't feel much like working in the porch today, but I did.  I worked in there from about noon until after 3 pm.  Two more totes got filled up and hauled out to the shed.  Two additional totes were filled with stuff that I don't want in the shed.  They are stacked up next to my wooden storage thing where all my dishes and stuff are.  I filled up another whole box of stuff to give to Cynthia Butler. 

I came across my tote of Camp Cho stuff...I had some of the stuff put in Cynthia's box, and then I took it out again.  I can't part with it.  I doubt I will every sponsor another Camp Cho--for one thing that doll group doesn't even exist on Yahoo any more--but it was so much fun!  If I ever get a house with adequate space for displaying my Barbie stuff, I would like to set up "Camp cho" again.  The styrofoam fire that one of the gals made got destroyed--it was pretty fragile.  I hated throwing it away, but it was in pieces.  :(

I worked in the porch from about noon until after 3 pm.  I felt pretty good about how much I accomplished out there.  When I burned out, I came back down to my lair and farted around on my computer for a while.

Jack and Kari invited us over to supper.  I didn't really want to go because it is Wednesday--and every week I wait and wait for Wednesday so I can see Ghost Hunters.   Alas, once again, I did not get to see it because Jack and Kari don't watch shows that upset Cora...and almost everything that is interesting is upsetting to her.

LOL.

Anyhow, Jack grilled steak and chicken breasts.  They had a good flavor, but I don't care for white meat much.  It is always so dry.  You have to chew it for years before you can swallow it.  The steak was pretty good, though.  We also had corn on the cob and bing cherries for dessert.  They were the best cherries I have had in some time!  There was so much flesh on them!  Yummy.

Kari and Mom watched Dancing with the Stars, which I am not into.  I was impressed with a couple of the dancers though--they were so strong! 

When we left there, we ran out to the gas station which is just outside of town.  They have a big green receptical where donations of clothing and shoes can be left.  I had a big black garbage bag full of clothes to be donated.  So we drove out there, and I dumped it into the box. 

One more thing off the list!

When we got home, I went down to the lair and sorted my laundry.  I also sorted out the dolls and doll clothes that somehow got peed on by cats at my house.  I decided I would wash each load twice to be sure the nasty smell was out of them.  Then I took all the naked dolls into the bathroom and started scrubbing them down with lemon scented Joy dishwashing liquid.  I did not get all of them done, but I got a few cleaned up.  I do not smell cat pee on them any more.  I am happy about that as most of them are dolls I really want to keep. 

I washed my blanket first.  Then I washed a load of whites that included several pieces of doll clothing.  I washed it a second time as well.  In the morning, I will sort out the doll clothes--I plan to air dry them as drying them in the dryer seems to damage them.  I may iron them before they get thoroughly dry  just because they also tend to crumple up when washed.

I have a load of darks and a load of reds, pinks, and purples that need to be done in the same manner.  After that, I have another blanket, a bedspread, and a rug that need washing.  When that is done and everything is put away, I am going to put everything that is laying in a chaotic mess on the desk into a laundry basket so that the surface of the desk is completely bare.  Then I am going to organize all that stuff.  I feel I need another file cabinet, but I have no idea where I would put such a thing.

I decided today that I am going to stay here when Mom, Kari and the kids go to Tammy's to help her organize her house.  I have so much of my own work to do, that I think it would be for the best for me to stay here and get this stuff organized.  And it will be beneficial for me to be alone too, so I can drag stuff downstairs without someone saying, "Where are you going to put THAT?"

Every day I want to get my bed made up with fresh linens and stuff, and every day it doesn't get done.  I would really like to get that done tomorrow.  If that and the laundry is all I accomplish tomorrow, I will be happy.  Though I will be happier if I get more done.  :P

I guess that's it for me for today.  Nothing too thrilling I am afraid....

Oh, wait!  I had a weird dream last night.  I was in Winona, apparently going back to college, but in my dreams about going back to college I never have any money--and once I get out of my car, I can never find it again.

Well, last night I dreamt I was cruising down the sidewalks near campus in one of those electric carts like they have at Walmart; it was night, and I was wearing shorts but was naked from the waist up.  I didn't realize I was until it was nearly dawn and I came across the little bakery I used to go to on the east side of Winona.  I realized that my big floppy boobs were hanging free and was embarrassed.  I decided I would go into the bakery anyway because I was hungry and they had tremendous baked goods back in the day.

Well, once inside, I realized I also had no money with me.  :( 

Dreams are so weird.
