hrm.

Yesterday:  woke up at an appropriately late Saturday hour, lazed around, watched some TV, had a nap, etc.

This morning:  couldn't sleep anymore after about 8:15, closed the windows because temperature OK but air too damp, not sure have enough yarn left to finish second Purple Potamus sock.  :-(  (Can't get any more, either, so if it isn't enough I shall have to unravel them both and do something else with this yarn, and get some totally other purple yarn for Pomatomus.  Sigh.)

Coffee's on, though, and I've got Top Gear on the DVR, so that's all right.

Maybe today I will paint the bathroom.  It's the last painting I haven't done!  ... but it will be hard, as it will involve taking down a fair few towel bars and things.  Hmm.

Last week, Saturday morning, I cleaned my place up quite a bit because my brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit in the afternoon.  (That is not, in itself, my-mom-like.  9/10 of people I know clean up when there are going to be houseguests.)  During the week they were here, I did my laundry and put it away the same day, which is kind of crazy.

They left on Thursday.

Today, the place is obviously not in bad shape.  And nevertheless, I swept the floors and vacuumed the rugs, on the theory that it's easier to keep something clean if it's clean to start with.  I may be able to sustain this kind of maintenance-cleaning every week.  (Dudes!  I KNOW!)  I did a load of sheets and a load of towels (post-houseguest laundry), and will shortly put it away.  I shall also unload the dishwasher.  It's crazy!


(In slightly ickier news, although not crazy icky because this occurred at a window and near the door, so things can come in from outside:  what's a bug that looks not unlike a small-to-medium-sized cockroach, but can fly?  There was one over here a couple of minutes ago, but I vacuumed it off the blinds.)

AND I CLEANED THE COFFEE MAKER.  Dudes.  I should probably do this daily, or at least weekly (see above re: keeping clean things clean).  In practice I do it approximately blue-monthly, so it's very exciting when I do.

feh.

Distance from end of second sock: 20 rounds before I even begin decreasing for the toe.

Amount of yarn left:  about five yards.


Sigh.  That's what I get for trying to make a whole pair of socks with 225 yards of sport-weight yarn.  My bad.  I shall acquire some purple actual sock yarn, and think of something else to do with this sport-weight stuff, once I have frogged both socks and wound the yarn back up.
