Well, that was long overdue
Just went through and weeded my friends list. Mostly old groups I belonged to and didn't want to be on anymore. Was quite a bit, actually, and took a whole page off my list! ::pats self::
Am also disturbed by how many friends that are still listed there, who have gone on to the Summerlands. 5, I believe. There may be more, as I have been very lax for the last couple of years in actually hopping into livejournal and actually talking to people. Facebook has been fun, and I'm still there, but it's too much like eating cotton candy (which is a serious bit of crack for me). At least I get to see pretty pictures of my grandkids there.
Car going into the shop tomorrow morning. Crossing fingers for the cheaper fix, but prepared for the pricier one. Either way, my poor car has developed asthma and needs that cleared up. Otherwise, drives fine in spite of the poor gas mileage of late. And the sudden oil leak, which may clear up with the fix. Back pressure and all that.
2nd afghan nearly done, 3 skeins to finish. Then I dig out the 3rd UFO afghan and work on that. That one is for my MIL, and it is very long overdue. These three blankets will virtually empty out my yarn storage bin. What will be left will fit into a small box. That makes me smile. Every time I empty a storage bin, it goes into the storage unit and I gain just a little more space in the house. All those bins end up nicely stacked, waiting to be used again. Excess cardboard either gets used to ship things, or gets tossed into the burn barrel. Small steps keep me from an episode of Hoarders. At least the trash goes out once a week (or so, I try to make it worth the run to the dump).
Finally got an application from the animal shelter to help with defraying the cost of spaying Pyewacket Fourthumbs. Need to that printed off and filled out and sent back in again before she goes into heat.
I swear, the more things I check off my to-do list, the more things get added on. Long day at work, large truck, lots of freight. All got put away and what didn't got squirreled away in unusual places. Am sore, and am looking forward to putting me feet up (ouch!), watching movies and working away on the nearly finished afghan. Must remember to set my alarm. Car to the car doc, then staff meeting in the morning. Will be fun. Really, it will. I work for good people, and my mechanic is good people, too.
For now, I am happy.
