Tired but happy...

Did one of those massive, massive apartment organization marathons this weekend, with (gratefully received) help from Lillian. Because Lillian helped me put up new shelves in my locker, I was able to reorganize it, which meant I could reorganize my living room, which meant I could at least start work on the bedroom. Got rid of a lot of things.

Didn't spent one hundred per cent of the day doing that, but almost; I had brunch with maaseru, maaboroshi and Yolande at Feleena's on Bank Street, and bought a broom at Home Hardware; then after supper read to them the last part of the novel Torchwood: Almost Perfect, which I've been reading in installments over the past couple of weeks. I hope they enjoyed hearing it as much as I enjoyed reading it.

Ah! such an industrious day! Hearken back and listen to the genetic memory of the Protestant work ethic singing in your bones [hee!].

Wow, tho'. Such a big undertaking. Good for Lillian! I know you've been wanting to reorganize your storage locker for months upon months, and I can imagine how satisfying it was to get to do it. Yay, you!

My own self-satisfaction rests upon my having taken total care of my car for yet another year. It will, however, take a few more days for me to stop feeling the habitual hesitance and trepidation when I drive, for although I no longer have to think about whether I have enough brakes to make a stop in a given scenario, and a few other things like that, it seems that I have to unlearn this somewhat manually. Serves me right for letting the car repairs go that long, huh? Huh! This is interesting.

I know you probably didn't, but did you find Wolverine's other set of claws? I doubt it. I think they were well and truly lost even before he got reassigned to the storage locker.

Yeah, I could practically hear all those Germanic-Saxon great-grandmothers urging me onward. It was difficult to stop - like eating peanuts or playing solitaire - "just one more thing" I kept thinking, as I swept out another corner or sorted through another pile of books.

Yes, very satisfying to reorganize my locker, though I do wish it were bigger - I'd've kept more stuff! As it is - very satisfying. And I found (as I thought I would) my favourite sweater, the Bayeux Tapestry one, which has been missing in a box down there for years.

Congrats on getting the car fixed up.

Wolverine's other claws - on the telephone Wolvie, you mean? Yes, I found them. I'd forgotten they were lost.

Actually, if you wanted help tidying, I could also have come by. :-)

[Yes, I'm aware you *really* did not want to risk me making a pun. But there has to be a start point, no?]

Thank you for the offer of help!
