My Day - Little Monkey

LISTENING TO:


MY DAY:
Just finished watching the latest episode of Foyle's War--a British mystery series that takes place during and just after WWII. Sigh. SO good. The season's over, but next up is more Marple mysteries, Poirot, and Inspector Lewis. So I'll be alright.

I'm almost done Major Pettigrew, which I'm quite loving. I think I'll read a mystery next, but not sure whether to read a series I found that takes place after WWI, or to read one of my Jane Langtons.

I thought I would have no energy today to do chores, but I underestimated the weather. It's the time of year when the weather is absolutely Perfect. 20 degrees in the day, cloudless sky, and the air full of the smell of various blossoms; and then cool at night for sleeping.



I sat in bed and read Pettigrew, then cleaned the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher, then went grocery shopping. Before putting the dishes away I decided to finally wash the fridge--pull out all the drawers and such. And then I pulled the fridge right out from the wall--something I'd always been unsure of how to do, or how easy it would be. Quel dust bunnies! I keelled them all.



I made potato salad, and lentil hummus, and then I made strawberry apple juice from my new juicer. Yes, I finally caved and bought a juicer. They've been on my mind for awhile, and then I saw one today with a big fat opening so that you can fit a whole apple in it. It was as easy and quick to use and clean as my food processor.



What a productive little monkey I am!

zonked and knackered

Oh my days... on vacation at last. I had to rush to get some things done at work, and then work on some schedules at home, and then clean out my frikking work inbox which never seems to empty. Nothing like 4-5 hours of home-work on the first evening of your vacation!

Ah well, it's all done now. Course, now I have to go to bed. I need to do groceries soon, and this week I need to clean my apartment. But I suspect that tomorrow I will sit in bed and READ ALL DAY. Cause I iz sooo zonkered.
