I had a lovely evening at javachick's, complete with musical accompaniment by Beth's DH, and a wonderful new cocktail concocted by megan walker.
jealous! Those cocktails are yum. Happy housewarming Javachik!
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

Okay! I'll do laundry too. Only sheets and stuff, things I can hang on the laundry line right now. I'll have to wait until it's cooler to do the stuff that needs the dryer. Well, nothing needs the dryer, exactly, it's just that I don't have clothespins right now, so only big things can go on the line if I don't want my unmentionables all over the town.
My big household productivity goal for today is to knock out the bedroom. I'm putting it here so I don't renege. That means, linen laundry, mattress flip, regular laundry, put away clothes, put away bags, clear dresser, clear nightstands, re set-up closet shelves, sweep & mop.

I also should throw in there, weeding the kennel and brushing the dog, because him trailing all that stuff in here is half of why it's such a disaster area right now. I mean, Hotblack Desiato levels.

Okay, apparently I am also doing clothes culling. [link]
It's Perkins' lovely red beaded silk shell size S, which is gorgeous but does not fit me, and a black linen/cotton dress size 8. Anyone want them? Yours for shipping.

All me all the time all your natter are belong to me mwahahah!
So, you know those wire-framed clear plastic containers that new linens come in? Does anybody else hang onto those in the misbegotten belief that they will one day do the linen origami that allows them to go back in the containers where they will be happily stored during offseason? And do you use them?
Because my mom does. But I just keep the containers, and never manage to get the linens back into them. I should just toss, yes?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I should just toss, yes?
Yes.

I use them for flannel sheets and some of my other bedding that I don't use in the summer.

See, I have the flannel sheets and stuff. They're folded and piled...next to the containers. I suppose it would protect from moth damage...

I use them for other things. And some I just...store.
I tend to put cloth storage in cloth...my duvets are stored in pillowcases, for instance...to ensure breathability and non-icky smellingness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I went for a little walk! The mall across the street is open, but most of the stores are closed.
