so *this* is what productivity looks like...
Today is Boomtime, day 3 in the season of Bureaucracy, 3269.
It's 1:30 PM, and so far I've already gotten up, showered, dressed, done three loads of laundry, cleaned the cat box, cleaned out the most recent bits of the email inbox, paid bills, and had a two-hour coffee meetup with an old college friend. There's still a boatload of stuff I have to do around the house, but considering that on most Sundays I'd still be stuck on that first item, maybe the second if particularly motivated, I think I'm doing okay.
For the rest of the day:
* vacuum the living room
*clean mail off kitchen counters and shred stuff that needs to be
* clean off the dining room table
* put away three baskets of laundry
* plan a date with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
curiousangel sometime soon
* clean the office so I can take a picture of the desk and computer stand I'm trying to get rid of
*clean out the refrigerator
* go grocery shopping since we're down to basically pasta and a 5-lb bucket of kim chi (yuck)
* gather up books to take to McKay's, since they're unlikely to be worth much on half.com (except maybe the signed first edition Anne Rice)
* paint the backboards of at least one bookshelf; if I'm smart I'll start with the one waiting to be assembled
* measure out new shelves for the $30 cat tree from Wal-Mart; Gateway is a little too big at 15 lbs to fit on the ones that come with it. He made it up to the top last night finally, and promptly fell off the middle shelf while trying to get down. Of course, he meant to do that. Really.
* get Red Hat 9 installed on the new system and migrate Photoshop and stuff over to the Windows partition
* price out a new digital camera to upgrade from the one I have. This is very low priority.
I liked the Kodak DX6340 I saw yesterday, but I'm not in a serious hurry to replace the DC210 Plus that I have since it's perfectly functional.
In reality, I'll be thrilled if I get even half that stuff done, especially if I can't get C. off his butt and into the shower so we can get moving.
[Edit: Heh. All that got shoved to the back burner (which reminds me, need to scrub the stovetop too) because we ended up going to the new Ikea in College Park.]

Be brave, love... Ikea on a Sunday afternoon is not for the faint-hearted.
(Images of you running around for hours, wearing just a skimpy t-shirt and nothing else... yum)
It's the same as before. She just got home, we're packing, and it was just a minor skin fungal/yeast infection, easily remedied. Nothing potentially disfiguring...

It was actually much calmer than I expected. I think that's because we got there at 4:30 and I bet lots of folks thought it closed at 6 like we did (it doesn't, it's open until 8).
And luckily the width of the box my new desk came in was 32 inches and the widest part of the opening between the trunk and the passenger compartment seems to be 32 inches and some miniscule fraction of an inch.
