Weekend... no pumpkins!
Saturday, it rained, so I finished the sheer for the dining room. I did laundry and dishes and cleaned the catbox, and moved the lumber out of the kitchen. Boring, I know, but what can you do, when the weather is supposed to be stormy and then ends up nice.
Sunday, I mowed grass in the early morning, and did some more laundry, and took out the trash. I finished the swag for the dining room. Unfortunately, the swag looks lopsided to me (it's the hanging, not the swag itself), and may take some adjustment.
Despite my early chores, the trip to Barnesville was not meant to be, which both simulteneously angered and disappointed me. But I've been like that lately. I mean, we were going to go Saturday, but then it was supposed to storm all day, and of course, the weatherman was wrong, and then it was too late to find a dogsitter. And Sunday, Nala just didnt want to go. Trust me, without someone else there, the PF is boring as hell. There's nothing left to see Sunday anyway. So, yeah. Here's me, angry and disappointed. Surprise.
I did my German homework, some more laundry, and clipped coupons from the last 3 weeks papers. We went to lunch and then shopping, got a featherbed from Andersons, (happy anniversary, Nala, it was going to be a surprise), and I mended a pillowcase. I also picked up a set of misc. clamps, and used the bar clamps to re-glue one of the two chairs for the breakfast nook. I hung Nala's grandmother's lenticular ressurection in the nook, and found a bulb to fit. I cleaned up all the misc. hats and gloves and moved those to the appropriate closet, put the citronella candles away, and gathered up a crate-ful of gardening gloves, tools, and shoes.
Verena and Asa, I have a present for you, too late to use this year, though.
Yeah, I got a lot done, but it doesnt make up for not having a day away and eating a lot of festival food.
I'm grumpy. And I know why. And it's not Nala or the lack of pumpkins.
