It was a good Valentines day, overall.
Feb. 15th, 2007 07:54 amTho I could have done without the piles of sleet. (4-5 inches of litte ice ball-bearings) Bleh. On the good side, it meant that I got the day off. So no further installments in the Squirrel Saga for today. J also took the day off, so we spent most of the day at home together. *G*
So instead of morning walkies, we chipped free the cars and shoveled the front walk and sidewalk. *pant pant* Then we had a productive day doing laundry and cleaning. You can now actually see the floor in my office! and there are large expanses of empty space on my desk! J did some more cleaning and org-ing of the basement workspace, and made room to get the big box of bamboo charcoal out of the dining room.
I have also gone thru my collections of old jewelry and have bags of 80's costume stuff ready to goodwill. And I re-org-ed my underwear drawer again, now that I can move the bras up to the space prevously occupied by Crap I Don't Use. I also went thru my Tub O Garb, and tossed stuff that was actually *Ratty* with age, and set aside 2 pices that are still nice but arent worn at all to give away. And I put away all my washed garb that was still sitting on chairs in the family room. So I am pleased overall with the progress made towards Having a Cleaner house, and Getting rid of Excess Crap.
I got to talk to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
toki_warax on the phone for a bit and wish him a happy holiday, and then I ventured out to Wegmans to make my contribution to Valentines Day. Back in the Day, when we were first going out, we'd do the inexpensive romantic indoor picnic sort of thing. So I got some pate, cheeses, olives, hummos dip and strawberries, and assored bready things to put them on. J opend a bottle of a nice aussie red wine, and we nibbled and munched while watching "Yellowbeard". (arrr) LOL. A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, a very bad movie, and thou. *G*
J got me a box of nice choccies of the intarweb, which are yummy. tho with my buggy sugar issues, I can eat one or two, but then an hour later I'll have a blood-sugar based emo moment. LOL Enforced moderation is my lot.
Then we putterd about a bit some more. I *cleaned* my keyboard, with an air can and by popping individual keys out with a tooth pick so that I could wipe them down with rubbing alcohol. I *Think I got them all back on in the right order. *G* And I found that I am still a very cheap date. 2.5 glasses of wine make me tipsy and cotton-mouthed.
Are those the 2 bunnies Beatrix potter *didnt* write about? "The Adventires of Tipsy and Cottonmouth in Mr MacGregor's Liquor Cabinet."
Work opens late today, (theoretically) Tonite I go visit my parents, who are bravely baby-sitting my nephew!
Off to the shower! Then to hack at the driveway some.

50% of today is fired.
Feb. 15th, 2007 11:04 pmGoing in late to work, good.
Having to hack a path for my car thru the driveway that is frozen to the consistency of fine marble,(with a steel garden shovel)for an hour and a half- *fired* *pant* *pant*
Time spent visiting with parents and wee nephew - Good!
Discovering on the way home, that there is an oil leak in the VW, such that the oil has run out, an the car oil light *screams* at you for 5 miles til you reach a gas station wher oil may be bought, and dipsticks checked: So Fired.
The gas station cashier asked if i needed a bag for the 3 quarts of oil i bought. I said, "No thanks, I'll be eating them *here*!"
arrrgh.
