weekend chores
Nov. 20th, 2011 03:02 pmStove/oven/range cleaned (at the cost of a bruised thumb). Not quite mother-in-law visiting clean, but probably as close to it as it has been in the 4 years I've lived here. Got new cat box (to replace old, manky one; I'll replace all three eventually); purchased and installed, has been sniffed but not yet used by cats. More cat food also acquired for the next fortnight. Washed lots of dishes the other day, but many more have appeared that need now to be taken care of in their turn. Massive quantity of laundry needs to be done (skipped it last weekend). Really ought to vacuum the whole place, but there's only so much that can be done.
Had a nice day yesterday with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
john_arundel, gr_c17, josh_cru, and our friend Phil. Played one long American Revolution battle, then a short sci fi battle. Working on the OBs for another Rev War battle to play with B & P on Tuesday night. B brought along a bottle from his father's ancient stash. The cork disintegrated, so we had to strain it, but what was inside was very nice 12yo scotch (that had spent another 20+ years in the bottle!)
Unexpectedly balmy today. Cats are enjoying some open windows. It's nice having friends over, and it gets me spun up to do and enjoy things. Otherwise I've been feeling a bit like Milo at the beginning of The Phantom Tollbooth--lots of things I could do, but none of them seem to have any point or appeal. It's a shame to waste these nice days moping indoors; I did get out and go for a hike last weekend, just in one of the local stream-parks; it seems like so much trouble to get anywhere really worthwhile, though; too damn many people around here, clogging up all the roads.
