So far this weekend...
So far this weekend:
I finalized travel plans for next week. Leaving Tuesday pretty early, back Saturday around 6pm. Staying at my Uncle's, on Long Island, seeing my parents, one brother, and my Grandma who is in somewhat poor health.
We had dinner with two neighbours across the street, which I'd been failing to make happen since late Summer when they very kindly watched Rover for us for a week. Anyway, dinner happened, we talked about family, pets, and vacations, and it was good.
I bungied our compost bin up tight, and so far no racoon snack-bar. Yet.
I fixed (again) the clock of the world's most trivial poltergeist, so it isn't relying on electrical tape to keep a connection.
I removed the crappy, 30+-year-old flickery lightsocket from the basement ceiling, and decided no way was I willing to re-installed it since parts were falling apart in my hands (!). Talking about it with Dan, we decided we'd replace the upstairs bedroom light as well. So: basement light in the trash, ugly bedroom light installed in the basement, and reasonably nondescript new light from Home Hardware in the bedroom. Total cost, $12 and two hours of my time.
Last night, we went to mtffm & the_infamous_j's for a yummy dinner, fun conversation, and a few hands of Fluxx and Aquarius.
And, tonight we're off to see 49 Up with bats22.
