Sunday Evening -- T-minus 27 Hours

[qos]

My house looks a lot better, thanks to southernselkie and Co.

There is no longer a cardboard-covered hole directly over the head of my bed. Nor one over my daughter's bookshelf. Holes in the kitchen ceiling and above the bathroom door were patched, and ugly seams have been mended. Floors have been swept and then mopped -- strenuously. I found out that the reason I haven't done a good job getting my walls clean wasn't (necessarily) lack of domestic skill on my part but because they were only painted with primer and no top coat. Thus they suck up the dirt and grime and hold on to it.

More curses have been flung in the direction of the previous owners of this house.
(Just kidding.)
(But I'm sorely tempted.)

I have clean sheets on the bed and several loads of laundry cycling through.

If all goes as planned, _storyteller_ will be here at 8pm on Monday.
To stay.

Between now and then I need to type up the minutes from an important meeting on Friday, talk to George's supervisor about my missing Wicked tickets credit (and start pressing for a refund), harrass the management of _storyteller_'s apartment because the smell in there makes me believe they have not shampooed the carpets as they had said they were going to do last week, and lay in some groceries.

Sounds like a pretty damn satisfactory day, all in all :)

Having that kind of help and support from loved ones is a blessing, ain't it? :-D

*grin* Are you spinning yet? I remember well how I felt the day Sean was arriving in Savannah for the long drive back. HUG And yesterday was fun. :) We actually are really looking forward to next time. :)
