I'm watching The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries, with the glorious Diana Rigg as Mrs. Bradley. It's set in 1929 England, so it's fun to compare it to Phryne Fisher. It's kind of odd, because Mrs. Bradley addresses the camera regularly.
edit: this is cool, she's actually a recognized and respected investigator and criminologist.
And David Tennant as a guest star!
So it's 7:15 and I have had breakfast, swiffered the kitchen floor, and given the bathroom a once-over. I think all I actually have to do is wash glasses and put stuff out, so I'm going to sit with my second cup of coffee.
Family comes at noon.
Well done, Jesse. I have made coffee and breakfast. But I still have to make my list. I was hoping to be out shopping by 8. Not quite.
May have to check out Bradley Mysteries, but not today.
I had also done dishes! Since my last post I have done nothing.
Ok, I have my minimal list. My kids. I am not a natural shopper, as in I hate it. I have to have a detailed list so I can run in and out. The problem with this method is that what I have set in my mind is not always to be found.
For us, today is Dominic's 15th(!!!) birthday.
And the last chance to brave the crowds and get the cheese and garbage bags we discovered we were out of at 10 last night.
Garbage bags are kinda important for Xmas festivities.
Happy and easy holidays, everyone.
I think I've done everything, up to and including packing.
I am packed and mostly left the house clean for when the roommate returns. Didn't manage to take out the trash though. My bags are utterly full, but a fair chunk of my suitcase is presents, so should be ok for getting home
Tiny, selfish, mini-rant:
I do not like it here. It's too dry, and my nose is bleeding, and my throat is constantly sore, and the elevation is too high, and I'm dizzy, and I can't stop thinking about how these rich people took over this town and now bitch about the Indians building casinos and ruining their pristine views and I miss my bed and my in-laws are stressful and the price I pay for watching football today is going to be answering stupid questions for three hours.
