So stiff! Not sure whether it was the running or all the housework! I think I might need a soak in a hot bath :-)
So, I got about 2/3 of the cleaning done that I meant to; it's so nice to have the place at least tidy, and I shall try to finish the rest of the cleaning (mostly vacuuming) today so as to be able to enjoy that too (for a day or two until it returns to its previous state :-( where does all the dust COME from? and how is it one can clean one day and everything is still covered with a fine layer of cat litter the next?
The Thespian came over, but we couldn't cook the delicious dinner she had brought for an hour or two, as the transformer that had blown Thursday night blew again, pouring blackness onto 10+ blocks of Montgomery County. Eventually the power came back on, we made dinner (green beans, pasta with scallops in a limoncello sauce, with raspberry sorbet and almond wafers for dessert), talked, and I taught her Fjords (which she promptly beat me at, three times in a row). We were feeling a little tired (OK, I was yawning...) and wondered what time it had gotten to--it was 1 am! We dallied a little longer, but then she headed home, and I collapsed into my (freshly made) bed for a good snooze.
Lovely sunny day today! Where shall I go, I wonder...
