Now that I have AC, it is a lot more pleasant to be upstairs. This is no real surprise, and I slept ridiculously well. I had a hard time getting out of bed at 7 to let Jola out to pee, andeven had a hard time getting up at 9 (luxury!) to take her for an exploratory walk through Wolf Pen Creek.
I've been puttering about trying to get more stuff stored away better now, and get my room sorted how I like it. If I get through with enough of that and/or get tired of it, I have a ton of data entry I need to catch up on for my dissertation. I think those two things will keep me pretty busy this weekend, but if anyone wants to do something - give me a call :) Both my phone numbers are working now :) I have been impressed with my ability to find/make space for things so far, but I do have more stuff to go to Goodwill, and some things to go to storage (and some things to come out.... *sigh*) I can't find the pegs for my nice solid bookcase though - does anyone know where I can get replacements? I think it came from Target, but I'm not sure (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
earis - it is the one I got from you ;p). Once I have things a little tidier I may take some pictures :)
So far, I have done 3 loads of laundry (much nicer now that the house is cooler!), washed the walls and such around where the AC guys were working, vacuumed the stairs and some downstairs (the AC vents were blowing out a bunch of black crud over everything, cleaned the sink in the upstairs bathroom for the same reason, unloaded a few more things from miscellaneous boxes hat are still kicking around, tidied up more of where I'd been living downstairs (put away some books and such, mostly) and some other little odds and ends like that. I still have a bunch more stuff to take care of - some more filing, for instance, finding space for stuff like my towels and excessive bathroom crud, and vacuuming upstairs. I just had lunch, which was, in an endeavour to use up some of the 9 (@_@) bottles of vinegar (6 kinds!!!) was sour dough bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar with some plain Greek yogurt to go with. I still have leftover pizza from last night, some lentil soup (also good with vinegar @_@), and the makings of Thai curry. I think I'm going to freeze the rest of the soup for lunches.
If anyone local is reading this and is feeling generous, I do have some errands I could use some help running - I need dog food and cat litter, I need to make a run out to the storage unit out further on Harvey (see above), and I have some stuff to take to Goodwill (or some similar place). I can give gas monies and/or provide tasty baked goods for my services - especially now that it isn't too hot to think about using an oven in my house :)
...and then I let this entry sit for three hours @_@ Got filing and towels sorted and a few more odds and ends put away. Finished laundry. Air vents still spewing black stuff in some rooms (not in great quantities, but still...) so i am going to use one of my old 'curtains' 9i.e. destroyed bedspreads) to cover the couch for now...
