while you were out

because gerry is currently on a plane somewhere over the atlantic between here and the u.s. i feel it is a good time to list the things i got done (house-wise) while he was away.

• washed old shower curtains and added them and the crazy green, shell-shaped shower curtain holders to the pile of "came with the house, don't want in our house" and put up newly purchased, much more modern curtain

• bought a fruit/vegetable rack, assembled and put to use in kitchen

• bought a new extension cord (lead) to fit under the bed with enough sockets that the bed side lights and the alarm clock can work at the same time, installed it, and reset the clock

• moved another dresser (set of drawers) into the bedroom (brings the total to 4 and one wardrobe) so that gerry is not tempted to leave stuff on the floor. in my mind, if it's on the dresser, it's better off than on the floor in a big pile.

• recycled the stuff that we were going to use for a fire, but that i have since made the executive decision that we do not need until september, when fire season starts again

• bought a clothes tidy rack that has been put into the gym area to hang our wetsuits and dry suits on, to clean up one of the spare rooms

• bought two shelves to put tidy up of the stuff that came with the house, and to tidy up some stuff that didn't come with the house. assembled the shelves and then moved the stuff that was in one of the spare rooms to the shelves to organise the stuff better

oh, and to celebrate gerry's return, tara gave me the great idea of buying some champagne which i thought would be fun, so i did. and since i told gerry i'd make him lunch tomorrow, i got some cheese and crackers. mwah hah hah.

because i finished up all the housework tonight (usually i get most of it done on the weekend) tomorrow can be a stress-free fun day! i will have to do some laundry on sunday but since i bought yet another 48 washes pack (i forgot that on wednesday when i went shopping i *did* buy more laundry detergent. i thought that i probably hadn't because i don't really understand what all the weird kinds are on about and was going to quiz gerry on it when he came back, but i guess i decided to go ahead with the tesco lemon scent twice. oops.) i won't be running out of detergent.

now i'm totally tired. and in bed, so that equals sweet sweet sleep!
