Take THAT, Monday!

Look at me - not even a week and I'm posting again. Winning! :)

I am officially signed up for the Vividcon Auction, so I'm enjoying the brief lull before I started freaking out about the whole process ("OMG no one is bidding on me!" "OMG everyone else is raking in the money!" "Crap I have an assignment now what do I DOOOO?")

The Emperor is on spring break right now; I've been working from home and appreciating the hell out of the flexibility of my job. This also means getting more sleep since I'm not rushing around in the morning getting myself ready and fed, and hurrying the Emperor out the door to school. Also, a big Yay for working in comfy clothes!

Last Friday evening we had dinner at the in-laws to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and youngest BiL's birthday. It was delicious and fun; I got to snuggle both my new niece and nephew. They thought their Auntie was very cozy baby furniture and were perfect angels.

I have been offloading as much stuff as I can onto the newly kiddified in-laws, which has prompted me to take a good long look at the basement, AKA the Pit of Despair, the embodiment of piled higher and deeper Round Tuits. I finished the last of the dreaded and huge reorganization of the Christmas collection, so it now takes up 12(!) boxes and totes, but it's all separated and labeled so I won't have to paw through each one looking for specific pieces. (I may even do a non-Space Battle Tree decoration job next year with all the rediscovered treasures.)

I spent most of this past weekend going through the basement's remaining boxes, totes, and assorted crapstacks. It's not finished by any measure, but it's certainly more organized. Once I get rid of a bunch more totes of unwanted clothes at the next ladies' clothing swap, I'll have even more room.

Last week we briefly had the opportunity to adopt a dog from a friend of my parents, then he rethought the offer. It was a minor disappointment, but it kicked me into higher gear to get the house and our lives ready, so I continued my streak of accomplishments this afternoon by finishing up my work assignment and making several phone calls that I've been putting off: more doctor's visits and home improvement stuff. The sooner we get the backyard transformed from its current state of unfenced mudpit, the sooner we can bring home a new dog.

I totally adulted this Monday like a boss. :)

Hee! Thank you. I don't know why I have to relearn practically every time that building momentum helps me get stuff done, but there it is.

Yowzer! You have outadulted all of the adults!

Thanks! NGL, I'm pretty freaking chuffed with myself. Though as I look around the house, I see a bunch of damned "invisible corners" as UFYH calls them, so that tempers my victory somewhat. Still, progress!
