Current Mood : Dead tired ! (giggle)
Another quiet
day. I’m slowly increasing my Wii Fit time by adding ‘Strength’ exercises and
keeping my usual ‘Yoga’, ‘Aerobic’ and ‘Balance’ times going. I can’t do many
of the Strengths, and some of the Yogas, but the more I do, the easier and
better it gets. A month ago, I dreaded having to sit on the floor or bend way
down to clean or organize, or even hunt for dolls on low store shelving – now it’s
just something I do.
Oliver-kitty
showed up for Morning Adoration, something he hasn’t done in weeks. He put up
with about ten minutes of petting and brushing, until I found the matted-up wad
in his fur. While he ate, I grabbed the
small scissors, and when he wanted a pre-nap head scritch, I pounced. I
survived the attempt with only minor scratches and the prize – a shooter-marble
size fur wad. Just the one. He was furious as he groomed the general area of my
pruning, if his tail was accurately portraying his mood, but I was soon forgiven
when I loaded my palm with special treats. He perched on my pillow, to
reestablish who was boss around here, and went to sleep.
Dearest Son
wanted to trade a half-size bookcase in
his room for the quarter-size one we had in The Study. The smaller one
fit right next to his recliner, perfectly. And Beloved Hubby needed more book
space. So I got both cleaned and made the transfer today. Kinda sad – those bookcases
were both purchased and used by the same people, and on both, all the shelves
had dried soda stains. I clean ‘em when I see ‘em, so the one Dearest was
gaining was just dusty, not dirty. Either way, all the stains came right off
with a bit of water and a rag. I have no idea how long those drips and
splotches have been there. It’s just sad that lazy me cleaned ‘em, instead of
being mopped up when they happened.
I enlarged
the too-tight Pucchi Collective pattern that made Cupid’s blouse yesterday by 20%. Working on the theory that
the pattern I stitched yesterday was for a stretchy knit, I kept both versions.
I even have a new blouse cut out of the pretty daisy fabric. But I wanted to do
something else today.
So I scanned
the boxes of the last four Monster High
dolls I got. It was easy, they were all still underfoot at my desk. I also went
out and got the Dead Tired Ghoulia box that’s been rollin’ around Starlight’s trunk
since last year, and got it cut up and scanned, too. I wanted to keep the art,
but don’t have space for the boxes, so I cut the boxes to better fit in the
scanner, then trimmed ‘em to get rid of the bulk. Now I have sharp, clear scans
of all five, and the good bits and pieces of the boxes themselves in a file
folder. The rest, a Mal-Wart bagload of scraps, is out with the trash for
tomorrow’s pick up. If nothing else, Beloved’s proud of me.
I also
finally got off my lazy butt and turned in every library book and DVD I could
find. Took two bags. And I had a third, full of books and magazines for
donation. What a relief. We still have three books out – two are Dearest’s –
but the fines aren’t too bad. I also found that they have a ‘Free’ box of books,
and I helped m’self to two, I Heard That
Song Before, by Mary Higgins Clark and Harry
Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. While both authors’ works are widely
known, I’ve never read any of their books, not one of either. Both volumes are
well-worn, but they’re intact and readable, so I’m sure I’ll get to enjoy them
soon. I’m kinda still enjoying having all my old books back out !
