So, no one else is really going to be excited for my domestic ass-kicking…. I figure I can talk about it here.

Though I’ve neglected to put a game plan together for my class tomorrow, nor have I laid a finger on the papers I need to grade… I have at least settled my house and wares a good bit more than I thought I would today.

Laundry is completely finished, though not all yet put away.

Dog now has flea and tick meds for the next 7 months.

Cat has food. Dog has special fancy-pants wet food he’s so enamored with that he salivates at the sight of its tupperware container.

Found a PUR water filter sink hookup for 20 dollars, which is cheaper than I’ve EVER seen them.

Found a pet grooming tool for 19, that’s the little dremmel used to wear down nails instead of trying to hack them off with clippers.

Best of all: Went looking in Target for new sheets for our bed (since it’s a King and we have ONE K-mart set that has holes in it already) and found two. fucking. sheet sets….. 14 bucks each.

*grins with pride*

No joke! That’s fucking fantastic in my world.

Spent time with my friend across the driveway, good quality time that I don’t normally get to spend since we’re both so busy. Felt less tired than I have in days and days… and found the True Blood series online. Have watched 7 of 12 episodes and HAD to cut myself off for the night if I were going to sleep at all. It’s nice to have a series I’m into again, lord knows I’ve enjoyed the books.

Other than that? Been missing phone calls from my NY friend all day and playing tag with her, missed a call from my mother in law as well and that’s a shame. She’s making me a birthday dinner this weekend (I know, my god, it’s the birthday from hell. It just keeps coming and coming) so she’s a sweetheart in my book.

Lots to do but at least I don’t feel like I’m going to throw myself off a bridge instead of doing any of it.

btw, students love talking about things that make them uncomfortable. Just ask all four of my classes who had to discuss a subtley homophobic and horrendous essay I forced them to read aloud…. each class went OVER time, m-fers. That’s right. They love squirming apparently.

The end for now.
