Things I Did Today...Sunday, 21 March 2010

1. Cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned...and still there's more to be done...

2. Went online and ordered skins for my Macbook (a blueberry Macpad, and I was tempted by a Spidey gelskin for the cover, but ended up ordering The Great Wave for now)

3. Picked up a script at the pharmacy

4. Did a couple of loads of laundry

5. Paid bills

6. Went to Blue Mesa for dinner, where I had goat cheese enchiladas while reading Sue Grafton

What I Did Today...

1. Went to work.
2. Talked with Christo, who was starting work at a new place. He has the same boss, because his boss happens to own the new place.
3. Went out to lunch with friends.
4. Talked on the phone with my younger brother.
5. Provided a glass of red wine for my neighbor's daughter, a young single mom who occasionally walks across the street and hits me up for this, knowing I'm good for it. I'm amused, and don't mind.
6. Spent four and a half hours this evening doing case management at home on my laptop.

Things I Did Today - 29 January 2009

1. I drove through thick fog to work. The fog was beautiful, and I'd have liked to have been able to skip work and spend the morning shooting pictures.
2. I went to lunch with a group of friends and we spent a lot of time laughing, which is always good. I work with some very funny people, and although the job is often frustrating, at least I have a good group of friends with whom to process things using humor.
3. I talked with Chris.
4. I talked with Alex. She and the baby came home from the hospital today. I'm going up to see them on Monday, and I can't wait!
5. I drove home and discovered the garage door isn't working...AGAIN. I'm not sure what the problem is and I was too tired to try to figure it out.
6. I fed Ike, who's been climbing the chimney again. If he keeps this up, a new home may be in his future.
7. I paid some bills online.
8. I'm going to have some rice pudding and go to bed.

things I did today - 14 January 2009

I'm fighting off the upper respiratory crud that's making the rounds, so this will be short, but here's what I did today:

1. Went to work (of course);
2. Went out to lunch with a friend;
3. Stopped at the grocery store on my way home and picked up cat food and kitty litter (at least I have my priorities straight);
4. Filled my car with gas ($1.62 per gallon);
5. Bought two lotto tickets;
6. Stopped for take out for dinner (bad barbecue from Dickie's, but I feel crummy so nothing was going to taste very good);
7. Found a note from the City of Dallas on my front door saying a meter reader had, per my request, checked my water meter and I do, indeed, appear to have a leak, because even when there was no one home water was being used at the rate of 3/10 gallons per minute. The reader couldn't find the leak, so I'll have to hire a plumber to locate and fix it. Uh-huh. So there is a reason that my usage has jumped from under 3,000 gallons per month to 16,000 gallons per month.
