An Assortment of Things
Mar. 10th, 2024 10:15 pmIn and around getting three more loads of laundry done today (my weekends seem to involve a *lot* of laundry), I managed to get a few other things done.
Gretchen suggested that I do some reading to try to reduce the ginormous stack of comic books on the table in the hall. I plowed through about 20 of them, which is more difficult than it ought to be, because it is time to adjust my contact lens prescription again. This, unfortunately, won't happen for a couple of months yet, but I am greatly looking forward to it.
We dropped off a big load of stuff at Goodwill and took out the garbage from yesterday's cleaning as well, so the house is (as Gretchen would say) a good bit lighter now.
I bought a corned beef for dinner the other day at Sam's Club, but we had nothing to serve with it that matched, so I went to Mariano's late in the day and rejoiced in the amount of daylight that remained at 5:20 PM due to the switch to Daylight Saving Time. I am among the (apparently less vocal) group that really enjoys that extra hour of daylight in the evening.
All that late-afternoon sun reminded me that the insides of my car windows were filthy, so when I got home, I deputized K (who is young and flexible) to go out and clean them. I'm guessing that they look a lot better now, as I haven't been back out to the car since.
In the meantime, I got the instructions from another manager that I was waiting for and that allowed me to complete the run of the computer division's second half in my APBA baseball league. I was fortunate enough to finish first in both halves. The face-to-face division will finish up next week, but the draft order is now set, because the remaining games can't change the order of finish there.
This means that I need to finish reviewing the card set (which I got yesterday) so it can be passed along to the last manager who needs to take a look at it.
I'll get that cleaned up shortly.
And the corned beef was lovely.
I think I'll buy another for St. Patrick's Day. :)
