This has been, for the most part, a wonderful day!
I wasn't supposed to have today off but I kept calling the owner and he kept pushing back the opening time until 1:30 when he finally decided that it never was going to be fit weather to open. In the meantime, I got all of the chores done that I have been intending to do on my lunch break for the last week. Including, incidentally, going to the grocery without either children in tow or only 5 minutes in which to shop.
I almost forgot what tomorrow was... I was planning on making chili (really good to have in this nasty cold rain) and then remembered that tomorrow's menu is not subject to negotiation. The kids will hate it but we only have corned beef and cabbage one day a year... they can just deal.
I did entirely forget that today was trash day. Oh well, I'll just have that much more for them next week. But I'm a little ashamed of myself... I've lived here for a dozen years and it's always on Wednesday. The only excuse I have is that I forgot to write it on my list of things to do. Which means I actually have no memory... I just have lots of notepads!
(I notice that there is no mood icon for sultry... and how can one feel anything else when listening to jazz?)
