Wrapping up 2013
LJ has been rather sketchy today; I couldn't get it to load til this evening, when I discovered some lovely anonymous person has renewed my Paid Account. Thank you SO much, whoever you are!
It's been a busy day; I've been up and going since 9:30. I've done a sinkful of dishes, because no way am I going to start the new year with a dreadful kitchen. I have one load of laundry (lights) currently in the dryer, while another one (darks) is in the washer. I intend to start the new year with fresh bedding, thanks.
GK's box arrived. It was wrapped with metallic reptile-print paper; I spent ten minutes with a Cutco steak knife trying to get it off with as little damage as possible so I can reuse it. I was thrilled to open it and find a dark denim skirt (although it proved to be a skort, size 26, yay!). There was also a black skirt, size 22/24--it fits! and a really interesting ruffly shirt? jacket? lab coat? IDEK, but I'm looking forward to the next cool day so I can wear it.
Enclosed in the card was a little something that solved the problem of my light bill; I paired the skort with a navy and white blose and ran out to take care of that. It took me longer to find a copy of said light bill than actually paying it did...New Year's resolution: To keep all my bills in one place. That's all.
My plans for the rest of the evening call for finishing up the laundry, remaking my bed while watching Hawaii 5-O, taking a shower, then crawling into said bed and sleeping as best I can while the neighborhood artillery bombardment goes on.
I never did get my Yuletide recs posted...oh, well....
I wish you all a wonderful 2013!
