*zonk*
You know what would be useful? Some tiny icons, like thumbs up or an arrow pointing down or a pouty face or something, to better give brief highlights of the ups and downs of the too-quickly-past week. It would really help make my catch-up posts shorter!
Sunday: Thumbs way down all around. Like, bitten off and buried in a hole by marmosets down. Not good.
Monday: (zosted face) Drove to Garden City to have Mike debraced. I was so tired from getting up at 5am after only 5 hours of nervous wake-up-to-be-sure-the-alarm-didn't-fail sleep that I went in wrong restroom on our first pitstop, to Mike's extreme chagrin. The removal and other activities went well, but then I got lost leaving town, somehow managing NOT to spot the major thoroughfare of Highway 50. But I did learn something new. My car compass turns out to give a reading of NE no matter which way you are going.
Tuesday: Marmosets returned one thumb. Sadly, seems to have been someone else's. The stomach virus several of us had last week decided to launch a comeback tour. On the whole, not a great day.
Wednesday: Marmosets arrested, forced at gunpoint to return MY thumbs. Needed them for packing up 20+ items for mailing. Good but tiring day.
Thursday: Arrows pointing up encouragingly. Got many small fiddly things done that needed doing. Mike tried to help. No lasting damage sustained from (me) being hit in the face with a box as we sorted out one of the storage sheds.
Friday: (clever icon indicating strange mix) Had to drive to town to turn in our ballots, as we had made a slight error in repackaging one in the approved convoluted manner, and also I didn't QUITE trust the PO to get them that whole 3 blocks across town on time. Also more puttering and cleaning. Found the instructions for what to do to prepare for Y2K, so THAT'S good.
Also some jerk newbee gave me my first negative on eBay/Half. 4581 good ones, and now this by a dopesmack with a score of 11. Oh, well, it had to happen sometime.
Today: (Large cheerful smiley face) Sunny and warm outside. We sold a $150 book, and I got a coupon in the email for a free sub at Quiznos! (So that was lunch.) And tomorrow is Free Dump Day! Woo hoo!
