Weekend’s over. I’m not looking forward to heading back to work, but at least I got a lot accomplished over my three days at home:
- I didn’t finish any of my knitting project, but I feel like the end is in sight for my grandmother’s birthday wrap — just as we’re heading into a heat wave.
- I wrote a pair of postcards that will go out in the morning’s mail.
- I visited the Georgetown library and picked up a few new books to peruse. I also took advantage of their back patio to read some of Eleanor & Park, which I also read by the C&O Canal, at a cafe, at a pizzeria, and, finally, on my couch, late into the night.
- I stopped by the garden to water and refill our slug traps with beer. I picked spinach and lettuce and probably a pint of strawberries. I also noticed the first tomatoes of the season are growing.
- I looked for ducklings in the canal, but only saw a family of geese. Oh, and turtles, cormorants, a couple great blue herons, and what I’m pretty sure was a belted kingfisher.
- I rode my bike, probably ten miles or so.
- I took a yoga class. (Weak arms!)
- I went to the farmers market, where i picked up strawberries and a spear of bamboo. (We’ll make a stir fry this week and use that and some of the bok choy from the garden.)
- My friends phoned and invited me to join them for dinner, so we ate Thai food instead of playing on the swings. Still very enjoyable.
- I drank tea, mango juice, and an Arnold Palmer outside, but not all at the same time.
- I got a couple loads of laundry done, but there are probably three more that need doing. (The perils of living with a stinky boy.)
- I mopped the bathroom floor and cleaned the sink and mirror. I’m going to let the aforementioned stinky boy work on the tub.
- I went to trivia night at my local bookstore and joined a team of strangers. We did not win, but probably finished in the top third. I left without buying any books, but only because it was my second trip there this week.
- I put away the Christmas dvds. Maybe next weekend I’ll go over my desk and put away any spare Christmas cds that are lingering there.
- A friend and I played phone tag for a while, but we finally got a chance to catch up in a nice chat.
How about you? How was your weekend?
