Give 'em the ol' razzle-dazzle,

Today Dear Friend was one of the more productive days I've had in recent memory.

It started out poorly as I inexplicably had four cups of coffee just before bed Saturday night and as a result slept fitfully. This was further exacerbated by a series of phone calls and text messages that punctuated what little sleep I got, from two thirty to six am. Around eight am I admitted defeat and hauled myself out of bed.

I was a bit restless this morning which was mostly I think, due to delirium, and I just couldn't commit to anything. I sort of half did several things on my to do list before getting dressed and going grocery shopping.

I got my food, came home, put it away and had lunch. I opened up the windows and doors, (it's in the 70's now), and watched some more AbFab. At some point I got restless and started cleaning.

Not only did I clean the vast majority of the house top to bottom, but I restructured and re-organized some areas that were starting to get...cluttery. I went through all my things and packed up everything that needs to be donated and got rid of all the old TVs and stuff that I have lying around. (Now I just have that one storage closet of doom to go through!) I also got rid of the patio furniture that I no longer want and swept and scrubbed the patio.

I spent a great deal of time re-working my bedroom and I am now, officially, ninety-nine percent satisfied with it. The only thing it's lacking are actual curtains and then it will exactly as I want it. I'm hoping to get those up next weekend, but I can't totally commit to that just yet. :)

At any rate, my house looks awesome, which is particularly great since its damn near Thanksgiving, and my house is going to be crawling with people over the next couple of weeks. I'm trying desperately not to lament the fact that you won't be here for the festivities again this year. Its weird having holidays without you around. This year is going to be even stranger than last year since I've got an entirely new thing going on and three separate dinner parties to execute. Hopefully the deviation from the old routine will help.

At any rate, I miss your face. I hope things are super fantastic. Tell P I say hello.

Song of the day is a dream sequence from AbFab



Sweet dreams Dear Friend!! :)
