Cleaning and Chatting
May. 27th, 2006 05:08 pmI am proud to report that after making my post about cleaning this morning, I did spend the next several hours doing serious housework. In fact, the only reason I stopped was that I had a 3pm coffee date with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rhonan, our first face-to-face meeting.
So I got out of my extremely dusty jeans and sweatshirt, took a shower, dressed up a bit, had a snack, and headed down to a coffee shop on Capitol Hill, and spent a very pleasant two hours in conversation.
LJ first meetings are funny: here's this person you may or may not have seen photos of before, but -- if you journal the way I do -- you already know some fairly personal things about each other. So these "first conversations" are actually far more in-depth, and personal, than they would have been if you'd really just met. That was the case today as well. We had an extremely enjoyable conversation, and I'm looking forward to getting to know him better.
I'm home again now, and everyone from Upstairs is either already gone or will be soon. Because of my meet-up, I'm far more 'dressed up' than I would otherwise be on a Saturday early evening: soft black pants and tank, with my new brown over-sweater. Part of me wants to take the Daughter out to dinner to have an excuse to keep wearing it, because if I stay home much longer, I'm going to need to change back into cleaning clothes and start tackling the Outer Darkness of my house: the under the stairs storage. Which is accessible for the first time in months, since I cleared out all the clutter earlier today.
The thing is, I really, really do want to keep cleaning, but I don't want to change my clothes, because they are very comfortable and I feel pretty and stylish in them.
But it is my Pentacles day -- whole weekend, actually -- so even if I do take the Daughter out for dinner, I'll end up changing eventually, and then tackling that hole before bedtime.
