Catching up...

So I've getting up early to walk, and I'm rather tired from not quite adjusting my bedtime accordingly (although it IS creeping to an earlier time on it's own). I get home and I'm pretty wiped out, but in a much more physical way, as opposed to a mental/emotional way. So I STILL end up in front of the TV, have dinner, muck around online and fall into bed. The biggest difference is slightly less internet time at night, and I think it'll get to be less and a bit more focussed and intentional, both for the TV and the net.

Between the trip last weekend and crashing out at night, I haven't had much time for anything else and the apartment is a total disaster... ugh. I'm really wishing my phone would work, because it's so much more fun to do housework while chatting on the phone, but the battery will barely hold a charge through a conversation of a few minutes, let alone one long enough to get anything done properly. I did get a buch of clothes folded while talking to Tobi, that doesn't require moving around much.

G's been pretty motivated to keep up on the dishes, so that's not too bad, but the clothes in the bedroom and the papers in the living room... argh. We're both sooooooo ready to move into the big house, but the big house is NOT ready for us to move in yet.

The fridge stopped working again (last time it was a matter of letting it defrost, even though it's SUPPOSED to be self defrosting)- and our landlords noticed when showing a guy the apt who was thinking of moving in after we leave. Why they had to open the fridge to show him I don't really know, but it did pretty much "smell like something died in there!" as it was so kindly put. well, yeah, vegetables. since it's NOT COLD. anyway, it's a good thing, since they told us there was a spare mini-fridge in back we could use for a couple days. and then they got some used appliances from a friend, and were going to go in and measure the space to see if it would fit. No go, but I got scolded again for leaving the fridge closed while off. It's a pain to unplug it because you have to move out the whole stove as well, so the light would go on if I left it open. So they unscrewed the light. duh. Anyhoo, the point is, I've been too wiped out to clean it, and I'm embarassed that I was caught multiple times in various states of refridgerator distress. And I have a lot I should be doing today, but I feel like I can't go out until I clean the damn thing, and I don't freaking want to right now. ARGH.

Alrighty then. My little movie of the babies is done compressing, so I'll go see about posting it, and then maybe I'll get going on the fridge... gotta get ready for croquet today and figure out costume stuff...
