one of those days
Apr. 1st, 2012 04:04 pmI've been shorting myself on sleep lately, and I was planning on catching up on some of it today. But it's a beautiful day! I don't have quite enough energy to *do* anything (take Rupert for a ride somewhere, go down to Rock Creek Park and hike), but I hate wasting the day. I miss the old house--what would be perfect right now would be a hammock to nap in in the sunshine (OK, so I'd need to wear a fleece and some wooly socks, but still...)
I got something quite remarkable the other day--a letter from the DC Department of Motor Vehicles saying that I had overpaid a parking ticket and they would be sending me a refund check for $25! Now, I'll believe it when I see it, and I think they're right (I paid a ticket in full during the recent amnesty, when they were supposed to discount tickets, but their online system didn't know about the discounts). But, still. DC Parking giving money back. Remarkable.
Also, after having helped![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
john_arundel and gr_c17 empty a minikeg of Newcastle yesterday, plus a few other assorted bottles, I checked my BG this morning, and it was lower than it has been in weeks! Confusing. I've put on a pound or two, but I've not been eating as sensibly as I ought in the last week--that I can fix.
I am going to try and clean at least one room today. If I can do that, and then do one more each Monday and Tuesday, that will be half the flat tidied up, any way... And in other good news, I seem to have managed to save enough to erase my standing deficit (the result of doing most of last year's charitable giving right at the end of the year) and begin putting money into savings again. Thinking of doing away with the cable and landline phone so as to increase the weekly Micawber Figure.
Added some more photos to the library, stuff from my birthday and from one or two recent wargames. And I've been doing some reading; but that needs its own entry.
All this and no April Fool's joke yet!
