Hanging and folding laundry. Pulling items gently out from under the dog who loves sleeping on large soft piles of clothes. Long undies special ordered from Japan arrived with Jiji.
Roasting a pastured chicken from the farm with salt, onion, garlic, thyme, lemon and olive oil. It smells heavenly.
Trying to appreciate that the dishwasher is finally fixed. And not waste energy being pissed at the landlord. Amount of time landlord knew there was an issue downstairs with a slow leak: almost a year. Amount of time we went without using the dishwasher: 1 month. Amount we asked landlord to take off our rent as compensation for exceeding "reasonable" amount of time to repair the dishwasher: $75 (he declined). Amount of time it took for Angelo to fix the leak: under an hour.
Listening to Cat Power and waiting for some old school Aretha to arrive for me at the library.
Looking forward to dinner tonight with common meal friends.
Waiting for gifties to begin arriving in the mail. (Not a strong suit of mine, this waiting thing.)
Pondering what to present my mom at our family Secret Santa. I'm thinking of knitting something...it's hard to get started after such a long hiatus.
Working and reworking the holiday card over at Kodak gallery. Stamps are bought...hope to get them in the mail before 2012...consensus is a worthwhile but time consuming process.
Procrastinating on learning Sweden for Sag...I promised I'd play it for him as a Christmas gift. Must practice!
Organizing local homeschooling Minecrafters for a gathering here...because my kids don't have laptops which would allow them to meet out somewhere (as had been initially suggested by a mom whose kid is looking for other kids into the game). Hoping for a good time.
Reeling from the latest twist from Dexter. Wow. In the very best way. (Sorry if that was too spoilerish.)
Wishing you peace and love wherever you are, whatever you've been doing.
