dchenesMy knee is still unhappy, but it's getting slightly better. If I had that to do over again, I wouldn't do it at all. I still have no idea what happened; one instant I was going down the stairs and the next instant I was picking myself up off the sidewalk.
It did, however, mean that I didn't wear The Heels to the concert on Saturday (although I did bring them, just in case). The concert went reasonably well, except for a couple of places where the band was doing something that wasn't even in the same building as I was despite the fact that they were supposed to be following me. I guess that's what you get when you get all of about ten minutes of rehearsal. And after the concert I went grocery shopping in the whole rig, petticoat and flower in my hair and all. I didn't do as much walking as I could have, though. On account of walking funny with a sore knee, I gave myself a case of blisters, so walking wasn't necessarily loads of fun.
Lipstick has changed quite a lot since I was in high school. I quit wearing it then, because I couldn't keep it on. I bought some for the concert and had to resort to the internet to find out how to get it off. (Olive oil, as it turns out. Or vaseline, but I didn't have any, and besides I'd rather not find out what it tastes like.) I'm not inclined to run out and start buying lipstick again, though. There are other expensive things I'd rather spend money on.
The non-cleaning-fit plans I had for Sunday did in fact fall through, so I took the following things off the Massive List:
- Cleaned the bathroom
- Took bedding to laundromat (had to wash the quilt twice; all the high capacity washers were broken and the soap didn't rinse out the first time)
- Washed three loads of clothing, towels and sheets at home
- Vacuumed rugs
- Vacuumed pantry
- Cleared off desks (mostly)
- Washed dishes
- Got recycling bags out of the kitchen (Eureka! Floor space!)
- Emptied the bathroom and office wastebaskets
I got about an hour's worth of walking, going back and forth to the laundromat. Since it was only a 10-minute walk from home, I went there, set everything up in washing machines, went and bought trash bags, brought them home, went back to the laundromat, set up everything but the quilt in dryers, brought everything but the quilt home when it dried, went back again to wait for the quilt, and then brought the quilt home. Following which I should have done something about the horizontal surfaces in the kitchen, but I had run out of oomph at that point and anyway I didn't want to maneuver around the drying rack in the middle of the kitchen floor. But at least now I don't feel quite so much like I live in a pit. I still have to clean out the fridge and the pantry and wash all the floors, though. And finally put Leo the Late Bloomer in an actual pot, now that he's got a cumulative six inches of growth again.
