Oops.
I realised yesterday as I attempted to find my way through my friends' page to a post I recognised, that I had not read LJ since Tuesday. I had to go back to skip=200 to get to an entry I recognized. Oopsie.
It has been a largely uneventful week. Work has been very blah. There was no Demon on Tuesday due to finals week; instead, Jeremy, shoecollar, and I went to Trattoria for supper. I made lemon-asparagus chicken on Wednesday, and had the day off Thursday. I fully intended to get a whole lot done on Thursday, but ended up actually doing very little. I got Christmas presents for Mom and Dad (a Cutco knife block for Mom, which she specifically requested, and a copy of Jimmy Buffet's A Salty Piece of Land for Dad). I got my hair trimmed and had Chipotle for lunch. Then shoecollar, sabrielrose, calhin and I headed off, first to Ace Hardware to pick up a drill (because I have a shelf that needs hanging) and then to EB, where calhin acquired a new shiny: an XBOX. I snagged a copy of Zelda II: Adventures of Link so that I will have sufficient gaming goodness for my trip to Nana's at the end of the month. I made pumpkin bread with my wonderful shiny new KitchenAid mixer (courtesy of my grandmother, who is insane and I adore her), and we watched Chris and John play a bit of Pandora Tomorrow, while Sam had a go at Morrowind.
Friday it was back to work; my only real accomplishment at work this week has been reading through the Exalted corebook in 3 days between calls. I got home on Friday and made spaghetti for myself, shoecollar, and herod_the_nut, and then we went downstairs, where I did a lot of work on Nana's Christmas present. We watched Donnie Darko and everybody else played Hunter: the Reckoning: Redeemer. I watched.
Went to sleep early on Friday, and got up on Saturday to begin doing the rest of what I had intended to do on Thursday--clean my room. I got all of the miscellaneous clothes gathered up and did four loads of laundry. Two of those loads are still waiting to be folded, because I started getting a migraine toward midafternoon from not having had any caffeine. I ignored it until 9 pm while we were hanging out downstairs (Sam cooked dinner, I played some Third Age, and then we all played Gauntlet for a while), at which point I drank a glass of iced tea and had a brief nap downstairs while Sam, Melzer, and John were playing Hunter. Chris made a tasty orange margarita kind of thing, which unfortunately I didn't drink much of due to the lovely migraine-induced nausea. We came upstairs around 1 and I fell asleep. Woke up feeling much better this morning.
So far today I have petted and adored the cat, fed him and given him clean water, and cleaned his litter box, then futzed around online for a while. Soon I will drag my arse up and get dressed, work out, have lunch, and start cleaning; I want to finish at least picking up my room so that tomorrow night I can vacuum and maybe mop. Tuesday night I shall tackle the bathroom so that I can scrub the tub and the floor and clean up the sink and toilet, then put down the new pretty bathroom rugs I bought.
For now, I am starving. Maybe I will have that lunch prior to working out. I wonder if shoecollar is awake yet?
