You've got a good strong pair of legs....

you should get up and use them.

Ugh. Well, after a brief sabbatical to deal with...life, I'm back, Dear Friend.

Things are at least reasonably well, if hard to articulate.

At any rate, for the next few...days? Weeks? I'm not sure...for the next while this blog will mostly be lists of things I've accomplished. I'm hoping this will keep me focused and remind me that I am accomplishing things, even if it doesn't look like it.

Today I cleaned half of the kitchen. I know it's easy to read that and think, why only half? Well, I only did half because it is a ridiculously big task, apparently. I spent just under 7 hours working on it, and like I said, it's only half way done. I made several...unpleasant discoveries while cleaning it including a cash of 19 (nineteen!) dirty/moldy/wet dishtowels stuffed together under the sink, and the fact that the sink has apparently not only not been draining, but also leaking for some time. I fixed the sink, well, the drainage problem anyway. And I put in a service request to have the leak/mold problem fixed. I scrubbed the walls and the baseboards, as well as the ceiling above the range, cleaned out and reorganized all the cabinets and drawers (minus the pantry), and did about half of the dishes. I also broke down and put away the small tanks that no longer have fish in them that were on the counters.

I cleaned out and re-organized the bathroom cabinets and threw out all the stuff I don't need (old make-up, lotion, mostly empty bottles of toner, ect.). I also unclogged the bathtub so that it drains properly. I have not yet actually cleaned the bathroom, so it still looks like a train wreck, but it's at least an organized kind of wreck. I really need to get the kitchen under control before I start really trying to tackle other rooms in any sort of serious fashion.

I finished the last of the laundry and began washing all of the pillows/bedding and the shower curtain. I also finished re-arranging my closet and the dresser drawers and found a place to put all of my shoes.

I cleaned out two of the fish tanks and checked everybody's water quality. I also made a schedule for feedings and water changes that should hopefully keep everybody happy and healthy.

So not too shabby for a Sunday. Yesterday I got to hang out with an old friend. We had a super fun day chatting and driving around. Then we made ceviche and fish tacos and attempted to get my tattoo. In the end, we waited at the shop for more than an hour without a single employee saying so much as hello to us, and then we just left. I'm taking that as a sign from the universe that I shouldn't stray from my regular guy.

Anywho, that's about all I know. Next weekend I have huge carpet cleaning plans and the weekend after that I plan on painting the living room. I still can't find several things including the inside of the dog's fluffy (which is making me crazy!) but over all I've managed to find most of the stuff on my lists.

I hope things are well with you and that you're hanging in there. I miss you tons. call me on your break this week sometime if you get a chance. I miss your face. Lots.
