in which i don't quite take over the world, but i try

So! ( My plan for Saturday was: )

( What eventually happened with my Saturday: )

What I meant to do with my Sunday was accomplish the things I hadn't done on Saturday. The bookshelf thing was still going to be difficult, but I found where Linens & Things has something similar that might go with my DVD shelves if not my bookshelves, so maybe it would be okay. There was shelf lining paper at The Container Store, so I could get that at the same time I was getting wee travel containers and not have to schlep all the way to Lowe's (Rt. 1, south of the Beltway). But then! Having got better produce and travel-size toothpaste at Harris Teeter, I went back to BBB to see if I could, I don't know, magically find something that hadn't been there the day before -- and I realized that I know the name of the manufacturer of the shelves I want. There's a lot of other stuff in there by the same company, just not the bookshelves. I will go home and google this name, and not settle for whatever they have at L&T! (This saves me a side trip, as well.)

So off I go home, where I do indeed make a week's worth of lunches, plus I do four loads of laundry, plus I straighten my kitchen and living room and get the coffee ready for this morning. I didn't get the place quite ship-shape enough that it's ready to be vacuumed and whatnot, but it's no longer nearly as embarrassing to contemplate having other people see it. (I had apologized to sanj the day before.) All the laundry is folded and put away! All the dishes are in the dishwasher, which I started this morning before I left the house! I have one more shelf that's not on the wall, and I googled the bookshelf people so I will find out how to get what I want even though it's not back-to-school season. Today I will pay my bills. I am Generally Victorious!
