Home after a very long day

Today I:

1. Loaded two carts of laundry, a backpack, a laptop bag, and a reusable grocery bag full of stuff into the car
2. Stopped by the grocery for laundry detergent and a few things
3. Backed up my friend's computer onto an external hard drive
4. Prepared the their house for the game, doing the weekly chores
5. Watched some 'Fairly OddParents' and bits of 'Law & Order'
6. Did three loads of laundry
7. Received two kinds of lettuce, kale, and green onions from Brenda's garden
8. Tried to pill a dog that was outside by an air conditioning unit under a large poison ivy vine. I had two medicines to give her with some bread and Marmite. I managed to get the first down her but not the other. :( YKWIA is going to try later.
9. Played the game and visited with YKWIA and Brenda
10. With help, loaded everything back into the car
11. Came home and got it all unloaded in two trips
12. Emptied out the fruit fly traps and reset them (they're really helping)

I am so glad I put the air conditioning on before I left today, although I set it at 75, so it shouldn't have kicked on too much. I didn't stay for 'Salem'; I'm terribly behind, but YKWIA brought me up to speed. I'm a little tired, and just want to go on to bed, I think. I must remember not to get up and go to work in the morning; I keep forgetting it's a holiday.

Tomorrow my plan is to work on the house some more and then watch The Color Purple with friends. I also need to mop over there; I didn't get that finished before Brenda got there today. But all in all, I hope for a productive day.

Okay, I think this is where I say good night. Hope your weekend is going well.

I think

having checked out various things online (and discovering, belatedly, that there was a Fairly OddParents live-action movie on today that I totally missed but I can't imagine it being as good as the cartoon anyway, such is the power of Twitter), having accomplished more than I expected for the day, and having partaken of a late supper of a small helping of Kashmiri rajma and basmati rice, it it time to call it a night. Must get up early on Sundays, of course.

Hope your weekend is going well. I'm taking my insulin and heading on to bed. Good night.

Well, I'm home

not as early as I'd like, but still before midnight, which is good. Today was rather productive even though we didn't have a game. I washed a load of dishes, scrubbed my bathroom and reorganised it/threw away anything that wasn't usable, picked up much of my living room, and went through the recent mail. Oh, and I did manage a nap. Then I went over to a friend's house and cleaned it, fixed him dinner, and watched a couple of episodes of Ben 10: Alien Force. (Okay, yes, I do watch cartoons occasionally. In addition to the original Ben 10 I also like Fairly OddParents. And of course there's Family Guy.) :)

Well, I still need to do a little in the bathroom, but I'm getting a little sleepy and I've eaten, so I may just head on to bed.

Welcome, Poof!

I'm a fan of Fairly OddParents, but I don't have cable, so I missed the 'movie' Fairly OddBaby, where Cosmo and Wanda have a baby, Poof, thanks to Timmy's wishes. It sounds like a good premiere of the latest season. Hopefully I'll be able to catch it at a friend's house. If not, there's YouTube. (Picture of Poof thanks to Aaron).

And thanks to Rob at the gas station who told me about this, and YKWIA who looked it up on his computer when I passed it on.
