The tub is filling now--I'm hot and exhausted, and my body aches from working and cleaning a good part of the day. 

I have a load of laundry in the dryer, one in the washer, and one in the middle of the dining room floor.

I should--I really should bite the bullet and do it right now, but I'm SOOOO tired.

I swore I would pay my bills today and it's not looking like that is going to happen either--I just don't have the attention span for it.

I'll take them home with me tomorrow and pay them at mom's.  Then I'll drop them off in Owatonna Tuesday on my way back to town.

All in all, it was a day of Progress.  A little SCP helps a lot.  (Serious Commitment to Progress)

Now I wish I had not promised to go to mom's in the morning, because I think I could do another day of this SERIOUS cleaning tomorrow--Tuesday I have painting class.  That's fun, and I was enjoying painting my still life last week.  I don't know what I'll do for my "serious" project.  Maybe I'll just keep working on my still life the whole time....though maybe not. 

I'd like to do something small--something that works for my Barbie town plans.

Ack

Well, here's what I accomplished today:

• Swept and scrubbed kitchen floor
• cleaned yucky food out of refrigerator
• washed all the dishes--including the storage containers from the yucky food in the refrigerator
• washed three loads of laundry--including rewashing the sheets and quilt that laid in the dryer for at least two weeks while I slept on the bare mattress under a blanket.
• cleaned out the litterboxes
• cleaned out the corner where the litterboxes sit and scrubbed the area with bleach.
• sacked up a ton of garbage downstairs.
• cleaned out the corner where the cat food is, vacuumed all the yuck up and cleaned it thoroughly.
• fixed the storage container that keeps the bag of cat food fresh.  (The cover had popped off its hinges)
• picked up all the dead leaves from the West Window where the plants used to sit before the air conditioner was installed.
• Vacuumed the rest of the living room
• Moved the last three plants to the east window.
• sorted through the bag of fabric Tammy gave me was back last fall.  Decided to keep it ALL.

I guess that's about it.

I might have missed a thing or two, but those are the major accomplishments.

Then I came up here (after making myself a couple of hotdogs--real healthy--and a bowl of ice cream) and talked to Peter a bit on IM.

I called DeAnn and talked to her about re-establishing our Saturday morning discussion sessions. 

Then I took a nice long bath and used my gardenia smelling soap--even though I am allergic to scented soaps, I can get away with it once in a great while.

Now I can smell the delightful, sweet, heady aroma of gardenia wafting around me....mmmmmmm......it makes me feel beautiful and desirable--despite my handicaps of age and girth.

Heheheheheeh

If nothing else, my lover would want to SNIFF me.

heheheheheh

Tomorrow's goals (before going to my chiropractor appointment):

• Make sure cat's food and water are full up.
• Refill pill caddies (should've done that tonight--but too tired.)
• Pack suitcase (should've done that tonight--but too tired.)
• Dig Tombs of Atuan out of pile to finish on way home.
• sort out bills and put them into suitcase to pay at mom's.
• throw red/pink clothing in washer, throw whites in the dryer, and bring up dark clothes.
• put away clean dishes.

I think that is about the extent of what I can handle in the morning.  I have to leave by 9 at the latest.  I'd like to get going a little earlier than that--because if I get in sooner, I can get out sooner.

When I get to mom's I'm going to want to drop Kari's stuff off--but not until later in the afternoon.  Maybe then we can play Settlers of Catan.  I DO NOT want to be stuck baby sitting Caleb all day.

I want to relax and work on my doll clothes.  I'm almost done sewing together all those little Tutti clothes, and I SOOOOOO want to be done with them so I can make some clothes for Skipper again.  I've missed sewing for her.

STILL haven't found my digital camera.  No idea where it could have got to.  Dammit.

Now, I gotta go to sleep if I'm going to get up early enough to get all that stuff done.
