I spent most of yesterday being Not Home, mostly because it was a good day for it.
When I woke up yesterday morning, I decided I wanted to go out for breakfast, so I left for Watertown at 9:30 or so. From there I went downtown on the Great Linen Handkerchief Quest, which wouldn't have taken so long if I hadn't tried to find them everyplace they weren't before finding them where I knew I would. It was a nice walk around Downtown Crossing and State Street, though. After I actually bought the handkerchiefs, I wandered through Borders for a while and then went off to the movies at Fenway, because I wanted to see Iron Man and I didn't do it last weekend.
By the time I got done with all of the above, it was about 4:45, and I hiked back to Kenmore and got on a train that decided to run express from BU East to Harvard St. Apparently I'm glad I wasn't trying to get home any later last night, because the B line turned into a major headache. So, got home, fed the Hairy Beasts, fell into my embroidery and the next time I looked up, it was 10:30. Wonderful stuff, concentration. (And I'm almost done with the current section of embroidery, which is my least favorite so far. It's a repeat of a previous section, only upside down, and I don't like it any better upside down than I did right side up.)
Today's list consists of dim sum and laundry. Apparently somebody else's list consists of making the front porch go away. I did know that was going to happen, but I didn't remember when exactly. It seems that running the dryer vents out under the porch lo these many years ago might have been a bad idea, and what seemed to be a soft spot was an extremely soft spot. So the porch is being replaced, and I have to remember to use the back door for a while.
