...but it's been pretty good, if different.

Drove [livejournal.com profile] moonlightjoy downtown for Day 2 of her conference, then stopped by the Queen's Quay Loblaws to pick up groceries. I am ashamed to say that someone else had to point out to me that my tire was completely flat. Called my parents, who called CAA, and then sat in the van and sewed partridges while I waited for everyone to show up. (I've been getting quite a lot of sewing done in cars -- yesterday my mother and I tried to go to the Royal Winter Fair horse show, but the traffic was horrendous and all the parking lots were full and eventually we just said to hell with it and went to Lee Valley and MEC, stopping on the way for coffee and butter tarts. Exchanged my hot pink thermal hoodie, which was adorable but unlikely to see much use, for a merino pullover in the same colour scheme. I'm wearing it now. I love it. Also exchanged a pair of socks for one that fit. The totals came to exactly the same amount, so we thought that was quite clever.)

Anyway. CAA put the spare on, and then we went for brunch and my dad told stories of other car disasters. Then they brought me home and I've been puttering. I have a flock of partridges lying on my floor; I still have to make them beaks and finish their pears and finish painting their plinths, but the bulk of the work is done. What on earth will I do on the subway now?
electricland: (don't panic)
Not doing so well on the assignment (hey, I have 2 more days! no problem!) or on picking my candidate for City Council (22 hours, I think) but I now have 11 partridges and 11 pears. (Jen helped with the last pears. She says they're much nicer than tax.) Partridges still need beaks. But I am actually on track here, so yay.

Also done this weekend:

- Ushed at my mother's choir's concert.
- Saw [livejournal.com profile] moonlightjoy and other friends I don't see enough of.
- Finished building new chest of drawers. Set it up. Put in divider box thingies. My underwear has never been so organized.
- MEC. Lee Valley.
- Some work on course assignment.
- Laundry.

To Do This Week:

- Take overdue library books back already.
- Vote.
- Finish and hand in individual assignment for course. Ditto for group assignment, also present it.
- Get caught up at work. (Welcome new person, write at least 2 articles, finish ADHD script, follow up on puzzling survey results, project plan for Big Scary Project, slides explaining What We've Done So Far.)
- Finish & mail ornaments.
- Choir practice.
- Prepare for party. (Attempt to bring order to my half of the house. Sweep. Clean bathroom. Buy food and drink.)
- Attempt to watch all Doctor Who episodes at my disposal in order to write review due in 2 weeks.
- Get flu shot. Pick up prescriptions.

I think I may need to clone myself.

At least I have clean clothes.
