Today was a flurry of errands and activities. After picking up the mail and sitting in Starbucks until I’d finished my latte and the laptop battery was drained, I headed to Manon’s to feed the cats and give them pets for an hour. After that, I went over to Lynn’s house to help her set up PHPList for her site and tried to show her some of how she’ll have to send out her newsletter through there.
On the way home, I stopped by PetSmart’s new store at the Byrne Road shopping centre (I HEART Big Bend Crossing Shopping Centre!) to pick up some litter, and dry and wet food for the cats. I caved and bought two new fish and a pretty new bushy fern plant for my aquarium. I figured if I bought new fish, it’d inspire me to actually clean the thing so the last remaining fish wouldn’t kick the bucket like his comrade a week ago. PetSmart is so much nicer than the dark and nearly eerie Petcetera stores around here and I enjoyed shopping there much more. Maybe it’s also because the store is brand-new and also there were very few shoppers there. Honestly, I hope that not many people catch on to Big Bend’s existence because I like having the place to myself – I promise to shop there lots! lol
Since I’ve been home, I haven’t stopped moving (that was about 3 1/2 hours ago). I cleaned the fish tank, changed the cat box, vacuumed, took out the trash/recycling, repaired the cat tree and put it back up – the cats were horrified when I took it down last week! I actually swept the kitchen and bathroom and wiped down the counter and mirror in there as well. Then, I did a little dusting, wiped down the kitchen counters and organized my craft supplies tote. It’s sooooo tidy and nice in here now! Me likey a clean house.
Laina is on her way over and offered to stop by Mr. Ho to pick up some Chinese for us! YUM! She’s coming over to do Christmas presents, so I wonder what I’ll get! 🙂
Tracey was semi showing her ass earlier when I said I couldn’t go to the States tomorrow because I’m going to Steamworks to Linda and Dave’s going away get-together in the evening. I told her if she was going to start more shit with me, to not come over here cuz I wasn’t interested. TAKE THAT! 😀 She phoned me when I’d just gotten in from PetSmart and she said she was on her way home. I thought she got off at 7 but she finished at 6 and said since I didn’t call her, she was going home. She seemed somewhat sad or something and I said that I wanted to watch Celebrity Apprentice and she asked me to go over there. I told her I had way too much stuff to do here to drive over there. She then said, “Well, it’s not that I don’t want to see you…I’m just way over here now. I mean, I miss you…” and she repeated the “I miss you” thing several times in the next couple of minutes. She NEVER says that. Why do I have to be at the end of my rope and perfectly fine with her not being around for her to miss me? *sigh*
Not sure what I’m going to do tomorrow. I had sort of planned to clean the house, but that’s all done now, so who knows. I thought of going to Cypress to go snowshoeing, but I’m not sure I’m that ambitious. We’ll see! Maybe I’ll go get my Hedwig and Reaper posters dry-mounted and put them in their frames and hang them on the wall. Maybe, in addition to that, I’ll start on another painting or something as well. Can also catch up on reading and looking at the new issue of HOW magazine that arrived in the mail. *swoon swoon*
By the way, my “I Suck @ Design” shirt ROCKS! It’s a little big, but 100% cotton, so I hope it shrinks a bit in the wash…oh, yeah…the wash…something else to add to my can-do list tomorrow.
Clean house and orderly environment – check!
