Despite my sinuses trying to kill me, I have been to Santa Monica to meet the baby of friends. She is three months old and adorable. Her mom is Mongolian, and she had a super-chubby round cheeks which are a hallmark of those peeps. Then we did all our grocery shopping in the way home.

The rest of the day involves watching Battlestar Galactica. We are halfway through season three and loving it.

I've been to the farmer's market, ran a few chores, and then picked up Noodle from the adoption center. She is hiding under K-Bug's bed for now, so still no pictures.

Awww. poor Noodle.

We got a head of Chinese cabbage this week that was literally bigger than my head. I made salad (sesame oil, vinegar, red pepper, ginger), and now it's about the size of my head.

A 3.5 mile walk is not bad!

I got inspired after roommate was here cleaning his room (as his move-out thing). He asked if there was anything else besides his room and the bathroom that I was going to require him to clean, and I was very very tempted to say something along the lines of "Well you never picked up a broom, mop, dustcloth or sponge for the rest of the house, I guess I shouldn't hope now!" Sigh. Then I went ahead and cleaned the kitchen--hardcore--scrubbed down all the counters and the sink, the inside of the toaster oven and microwave, the top of the stove, swept and mopped.

...now if only I had energy to do that for the rest of the house!

Yikes, amych!

I have done no cleaning, and now realize I probably won't tomorrow, either. Ah well.

I borked something in my shoulder. It was giving me issues in the first 10 laps, then went away.50 laps later, came back with a vengeance. Came home and cleaned, which wasn't much appreciated. It comes and goes, which makes me wonder if something is just out of place.

Spent the last hour lying flat on the floor on an icepack, which seems to have helped. Uhg.

But I defurred the cushions, damnit, and reglued a soapdish that got broken a while ago.

And Devi has a vet appt Tuesday because she's got some sort of weird blister in her ear. Doesn't seem to bother her at all, but it is too weird. I first thought "tick" but now I don't think so. And not likes she lets me mess with her ears at all. This visit will involve gloves and probably a couple techs. Poor Devi.

Love that I can send a picture to the vet at midnight on a Saturday, and the vet decides she needs to take a look and schedules an appt. Gonna have to pick up the work laptop tomorrow. I'll telecommute in the morning, may go on site after the appt.

I started painting some picture frames. These are purple. After these, I've got a nightstand to paint, and maybe I'll paint some stripes on the legs of my kitchen table. After that, I don't know what else I'll have to paint, but this stuff is enough for at least a few days of painting.

We want to see pix, Hil!

I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

I just tried to scrub all the purple and blue paint off my hands and arms, and there was one spot on my arm that I was scrubbing at and the purple just wouldn't go away, and then I realized that it was a bruise.
