Later that same day...

The garage is now cleared out. Sometime tomorrow, the items ordered from Lowes should be arriving: one replacement bathtub and three replacement toilets, all part of our bathroom renovation project to start in the next couple of weeks.

We have just returned from a trip to our newly acquired storage locker, taking a number of boxes of materials belonging to the Lesbian & Gay Chorus of Washington and DC Lambda Squares, as well as a lot of our personal junk. There are a surprising number of empty shelves in our basement and storage closets now.

The minivan has been completely reloaded with items going to Goodwill. They've been scattered around the house but finally placing them in a vehicle will force us to overcome our innate laziness tomorrow about getting these to the local depot.

Laundry is nearly caught up, thanks be to the appropriate deity. kent4str is finally putting away his clean clothes, some of which have been waiting for weeks for this small consideration.

We've also largely finished our seasonal clothing turnover: summer clothes are stored away in the basement closet while the heavier shirts, sweaters and longjohns are brought up from storage. It's still very comfortable and pleasant outdoors but it won't last forever. Or it will due to global warming, depending on my mood of the moment.

Still to do this weekend:
- ironing shirts;
- deliver items to Goodwill;
- more filing of household bills & documents than any person should ever have to face;
- the remaining laundry, which, mercifully, isn't too bad;
- replacing the secondary light fixture in the master bedroom;
- installing a ceiling fan in the main guestroom;
- eat something besides leftover Halloween candy;
- take one dresser and at least chair to the storage locker;
- taken inventory of stationery supplies for the upcoming square dance weekend and obtain supplemental items where needed;
- more tasks which have clearly escaped my overtaxed neocortex.

Three toilets because we have three bathrooms. The two on the main floor have cheaply built toilets which are very prone to leaking, aren't particularly attractive and have been a source of constant annoyance. The basement bathroom toilet is an ancient beast which consumes a significant portion fo the Potomac River when it flushes. All three are to be replaced.

No bite-sized Coffee Crisp, alas. No kids came by so the lot is going to be consumed by us or taken to our individual offices to share with the cow-orkers.

thank you for the loo-explanation; that's a lot less alarming than the public-washroom visions dancing in my head.

sorry about the CoffeeCrisp(tm). And sorry about your complete absence of young guests. You DO realise you're supposed to leave lights on, don't you? Maybe put the odd jack-o-lantern by the front door? If you shut the house up tighter than a drum they'll think that no-one is home. or was that the intention, for a week-long sugar high for the householders Naaah - that could never be the case.

MOI?? perish the very THOUGHT!

check the colours on my leather vest, dear

we ought to be careful making all these kinky comments on Abigail's journal - we might offend sensibilities. (wink)

Abigail is quite capable of clutching pearls if the occasion has arisen. (I personally don't think it has, but maybe mine aren't the most easily bruised sensibilities). And I'll lend my pearls if there are none to hand in Silver Spring.

now, what were we saying about kink?
