Wednesday...my spring break is half over.
Apr. 2nd, 2009 01:02 amI had blood tests today. They are really good at it at the clinic, so long as they use my left arm. I barely feel the needle slide in. After that, I went to the tax place and turned in my tax stuff. She did not give me an estimate on how much I am getting back. I'll call tomorrow and see if she's figured it out yet.
From there I went to Daniels and treated myself to bacon, eggs, and hash browns. And rye toast and hot tea with honey and cream. Yum. I love eating breakfast out.
When I got back to West Concord, I went to the post office and got my mail. I had two packages--one was the milk and cocoa miniatures that I bought. The Cocoa is way too big for my dolls, so I will give it to Susan's granddaughter McKenna. The milk will work--it will look like a giant sized milk, but it's okay.
When I got home, I sorted out my mail. There was a shit load of junk mail. After I sorted it out, I organized my bills, then wrote out the checks. I can't deposit my paycheck till after three pm tomorrow, which means it won't get deposited till next week as I am going to my mother's as early as I can tomorrow morning. I will have to drop the paycheck in the night deposit back when I come home on Saturday, which means I will not be able to get any cash to get me through the next two weeks.
By this time, I had to pee like a racehorse, so I hauled two baskets of laundry upstairs, peed, and then folded and put away the laundry. I washed my comforter today--it's in the dryer now--and my rugs are in the washer. I will probably have to give the comforter another session in the dryer, which means I will have to make two more trips down and up the basement stairs. My knee is aching now from all the use it got today and the last couple of days.
After I put stuff away, I lay down on my bed and looked at some email. I was suddenly extremely tired, so I slept for about two hours. Then I went back downstairs and did some more work.
I cleared off the couch and finished tidying up the dining room table. I swept the kitchen so that I wouldn't track all the crap from the kitchen into the dining room, which I had vacuumed last night. Unfortunately, I did not feel like cooking, so I made popcorn, during which process, I was trying so hard to keep the popcorn confined to the bowl I was popping it into. Somehow, I managed to joggle the hot air popper, and the lid came off and popcorn flew in every direction. Grr. Later, I dropped a hot oatmeal cookie on the floor and managed to step on it while looking for it.
I put away the clean dishes, baked two batches of cookies (chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in them), and did dishes and wiped down everything affected by the cookie baking.
I had hoped to scrub the kitchen before I went to bed, but I just pooped out.
I bagged up the cookies. I am setting some aside to Jim and DeAnn (and Swayze, of course). I bagged up some for my friend Lisa in Texas as I intend to send off the bag of doll clothes I'm shipping down to 'Cassidy (my honorary niece), and I might as well send her some cookies too. I bagged and packaged two small bags of cookies for my friend Rick in Lyons, MI, and I intend to do the same for my friend Michael in Detroit. I got the two dolls I need to send to the Tonner doll hospital all packed up neatly and ready to mail tomorrow.
I am also sending the doll and doll clothes I have made for Dave Kelley's little granddaughter tomorrow. I have to box them up.
I just finished folding and putting on hangers the next basket of clothes I brought up. I guess that was pretty much my day.
I'm tired now and ready for bed. Wish I had the energy to go through some of my email. I'm way behind.
Sigh.
