Hard ginger cider and corn on the cob with basil butter. Seems appropriately Labor Dayish.

Also, it's fucking hot. I can't believe I was out in it all day yet only now am cranky about getting sweaty taking the trash out. I mean, I completely soaked the bed sheet I had folded up and belted around my waist (think floor length apron, to protect my legs) and the cloths on my face and head were wringable. Sheet apron was like 8 layers. 1minute and a light sweat is making me whiny?

Earlier you were On A Mission....

- vacuum (including upstairs)
- clean bathroom
- dust all - some
- straighten bedroom
- laundry (including sheets)
- dishes + other kitchen
- work -- reviews + other
- beach
- long walk
- groceries
- pedicure
- hang mirror, etc.

Not bad! And I realized I should do a round of dusting on Wednesday. Maybe I can still do the other work thing, but also I can put it off because there's no actual deadline....

Good job! Now can you come clean my house while I paint?

Jesse, you kicked ass.

Need to do:

vacuum living rooms - 1 done by me, 1 by mac
mop kitchen
clean my bathroom - all done
do a load of laundry - by me
vacuum mac's room - by mac
measure some clothes - measured 4
go through some papers - clear off at least one side table - by me
clean off dresser
wash car
vacuum car - driver side front and back vacuumed (garage very hot and yuck)

I did have to stop and do real work work, and then mac I and went to comic book store and book store.

Hard ginger cider and corn on the cob with basil butter.

That sounds amazing. And summery.

Well done, Jesse!

I have turned all my vegetables and eggs into meals (actually, I'm still in the process of making breakfast custards, but the eggs are out of my fridge), that hasn't happened in a while. Once this batch of custard is done I will have 9 breakfasts, 21 second breakfasts, 4 lunches, and 6-8 dinners ready to go. And I've stayed fairly on top of washing up dishes while I did it, which is highly unusual.

I get more vegetables on Wednesday and more meat and eggs on Thursday but those are future -t's to manage.

Of course, I have not done the one thing I really wanted to accomplish this weekend - culling the closet. But the day is not over.

ETA: your done list is also looking pretty good, msbelle!

We've had a very lazy weekend, which is fine, because Tim has been working his ass off for the past couple of months. Today I finished the first Harry Dresden book, and we ran errands and went to see GotG again (still fantastic). And now we're having pancakes for dinner.

Trading mopping for vacuuming with my mother was brilliant, I have to say.

Now can you come clean my house while I paint?

Ha ha ha. I barely cleaned my own house, over the course of three days!

Go, msbelle! Go, -t! Also, go, Steph! Relaxing is also important.

I am still gonna get more done.

Paid my bills for the first half of September, which is probably the one thing that most needed to get done today. Bringing my task completion average up to 68% for the weekend. That's pretty dismal.

Connie and Zen, I had dinner recently with an extremely thoughtful young man I know, both of whose parents are Presbyterian theologians, and he made the argument that in today's economy, if you have the means to hire someone to do things like that, you have a moral obligation to do so. So tell that to the head-Calvinists.
