let's just say that this weekend was both incredibly, amazingly wonderful and hell on earth.
first with the wonderful. my handy daddy came over saturday morning to install bamboo blinds out on the balcony, hang my curtain backets and mount a shelf, towel rack and swing mirror in the bathroom for me. after he left, i measured, hemmed and hung my curtains.
the evening was spent out to dinner with m&m&d, dennis & joanie and their friend diane at a greek restaurant (feeling the olympic spirit, we were) where we all drank, ate, laughed and talked a
lot. i very nearly passed out in the car on the way home, i was so exhausted from the very good day.
yesterday, consisted of laundry-doing, dish-washing, bathtub-cleaning, window-washing, floor-cleaning and general puttering. i need to clean the rest of the floors this week now that i know that mop & glo wood floor cleaner is the shizzle and it removes the slightly icky film left from my first and incorrect washing before i moved in.
now for the hell. IT'S TOO GODDAMN FUCKING HOT AND IF IT DOESN'T COOL DOWN SOON I'M TOTALLY GOING TO KILL SOMEONE JUST FOR STANDING TOO CLOSE TO ME AND MAKING ME SWEAT EVEN MORE THAN I ALREADY AM JUST BECAUSE I'M BREATHING!
seriously though, this has been a completely beastly hot summer which actually started sometime in june. i don't know what the hell is going on with the weather patterns, but we're experiencing the weather the prairies usually gets, while they're all below-average and very vancouverish. if this incessant heat and increasing humidity doesn't break soon i really do think i might have a psychotic break. you really don't want to see that. trust me.
yeah, i didn't get any shelf-painting done, but i did watch
the grid in its entirety & the first three episodes of
dead like me and i learned how to make a vcd. have i mentioned how much i love bittorrent and my extra-high-speed net connection? if i haven't, consider it mentioned. as for the painting, as jeremy so wisely said "you have the rest of your life to paint". consider it mentioned how much i love that guy.
now it's monday and i get to find some way to stay awake after only six hours of weird dream-filled sleep, get work done and try not to think of all the floor-washing, food-shopping, refund-getting, car-cleaning, lunch-cooking and shelf-painting i need to get done this week.
