An excellent weekend

[tamaranth]

Yesterday morning, at (urgh) 8am, I had a to-do list that ran onto two columns of an A4 pad. Trees! Walks! Cats! Printer cartridges! Writing thousands and thousands of words! Boldly exploring the freezer!

There are three items left -- wrapping presents, writing yet another stroppy letter to Barclays, and dealing with the litter tray -- and none of them are urgent. (And I'm halfway through writing the last of the cards, including some difficult breaking-the-news ones to friends of my father: but that'll be done tonight.)

One of the items I ticked off was 'install new keyboard'. Thanks to ladymoonray! It has a peculiar action, and I think requires heavier-handed typing than my usual: but I'm breaking it in, or possibly vice versa. Please excuse any typos, though. (The mouse that goes with it is, sadly, horrid: but the old mouse stll works.)

Another item was 'dye hair', because I caught myself thinking I was getting too old for that sort of thing. Luckily I did not have to do this alone: o no, I had two little furry helpers.

Just saw your poll answer. *snicker*

Pictures forthcoming? *she asks in gleeful anticipation*

Should there be an option for 'All Of the Above' on that poll?

Go you! Glad you are accomplishing everything you want to.

(And I'm halfway through writing the last of the cards, including some difficult breaking-the-news ones to friends of my father: but that'll be done tonight.)

*sighs* That's what I'll be doing tonight, too. Not happy.

Glad you liked the e-card, btw.

Re: Cats -- I agree with pigeonhed: All of the above.

I hope the keyboard does work out; but if not, we can always take it back.

er, sadly not: I have tidied up too efficiently and no longer have receipt!

I'll get used to it, and I think the key action is improving with use -- and it was so cheap -- and I really did need one pretty desperately. Thanks for sorting / sourcing it!

No problem. I won't be at all offended if you end up replacing it, but at least you got one quickly.

I SOOO want to come and visit you! Your domestic struggles just make me sigh and feel all nostalgic for England. Any chance that with all that dosh you're making at the new job you'll come over here again?

no pictures! And no damage that a little trimming didn't remove .. though I was tempted to leave it on and see what colour it produced! (Didn't like the thought of her licking it off, though: she is sick quite often enough anyway.)

'all that dosh'? hahaha. Eventually I am hoping to pay off debts incurred in the six months I wasn't working ...
