midnightsjaneBeen something of a busy week, but I've managed to get things crossed off my to-do list:
I have:
-had the snow tires removed from my car, and the summer ones put on. I figure I'm pretty safe from snowstorms by now.
-had my glasses adjusted and new non-slippy nose pads put on. I was getting tired of having them slip down to the very end of my nose whenever I got a bit sweaty. Now they sit on the bridge of my nose like good glasses should.
-done the laundry. Clean clothes, Yay!
-bought a new pair of sneakers. The old ones are raggedy. The new ones are dark blue with bright pink trim and lime green laces. I am so cool. ;P
-carted several wheelbarrows full of old manure to my garden and dug it under. Now I just need to find some topsoil to add. I'm hoping that the builders are about ready to bring in topsoil for the front lawn, since they've leveled the giant pile of dirt that was there.
-made arrangements with my landlord's son to come help me lift the planters with my hostas into my car so I can take them out to the farm. Since said landlord has decreed the patio area to be a no plant zone, I'm rehoming the plants I can move. My front balcony is filled with my roses, herbs, clematis and strawberries. No room there. I checked on my fig tree, which is next door in their little courtyard, and it's doing okay. The rosemary and the bay leaf tree are toast, I'm afraid. The patio looks so bare and sterile, but there won't be any nasty dirt to get into the drains. Jerk. I will be very happy to leave here. It's just not the same, not like it was a couple of years ago. Time to move on.
-Completed and mailed my income tax return!!! Big load off my mind. Plus I get money back.
-gave my horses a good grooming. Midnight gets so dirty. I spent about 30 minutes finger combing his tail. It's gorgeous when it's clean and brushed, but that doesn't happen often. It's usually more like dreadlocks.
All in all a good week. Yesterday I had a day off, which I spent taking it easy.
I found out that the new Dresden Files book is coming out May 27th! I feel like I've been waiting forever to get my hands on it. I have instructed my friends at WhiteDwarf Books to set a copy aside for me the instant it arrives.
Watched this week's episode of Orphan Black and continue to be blown away by the show. Dark and twisted and very compelling.
Can't wait to see the season finale of Once Upon A Time tomorrow night! Luckily for me I get off work at 7p.m. so I'll be home in time.
Not a bad way for the week to end.
