Attended an AWC sushi night with friends
Took down all the curtains, washed them, did other things while my MiL ironed them all, put them back up. Several of them involved those little metal hook things that slip in the band and pleat it: I HATE THOSE THINGS. Every year I say I am never doing this job again. I say it again this year.
Stripped and changed the beds
5 loads of laundry, all together
Washed dishes and took out recyclables
Dusted almost the whole house
Vacuumed the whole house
Grocery shopped
Made a really yummy dinner for Martin and me (Karin and Anders were at a soccer overnight in Karlshamn)
Sorted & organized one of the kitchen cabinets that’s been bugging me for awhile. How many water bottles do you suppose 2 sporty people in 1 family need? If you say 20, you’d apparently be right.
Emptied and cleaned the refrigerator, with Martin’s (!) help
Watched 3 episodes of The 4400
Read a book, and half of another
Played Pumpkin Xplode on the iPad
Checked and answered email
Refilled hand-soap bottles
Cleaned out and potted pansies in 11 outdoor pots. Pansies!
Potted 4 new houseplants
Called a new AWC applicant
Watered all the houseplants
Took a 2 hour nap
Added 2 things to my Anticipation list: dog-sitting Mental next week, and cat-sitting for the neighbors the week after that!
Resorted to another list instead of a “real” journal post. Heh.
Enjoyed the sunshine, and the sight of the first giant bumblebee and first yellow butterfly of Spring!
