House update: Tuesday

My aunt reports:

Today for lunch, Calypso, Dan, John and I had buns, ham and cheese.

Today, Dan said, was not one of the better days. There is a problem with the connect between Rob's bathtub drain and Jen's bathroom ceiling. The intrepid warriors hope to fix it this afternoon.

John turned two of Jen's closet doors and reversed them and adjusted the third. He investigated the arc fault interrupter circuit. News to come.

The "something intelligent" John did Friday afternoon was watch Dan fix Rob's laundry closet door.
Cheers, Helen

I also saw evidence of progress on the small wardrobe that's going into my living room. The possibility of actual permanent storage space in there brings tears to my eyes. (There's also the sideboard from Granny, which is actually an extremely awesome desk, but (a) I think it's going to move along that wall once I get the desk moved and (b) I haven't decided what to put in it yet -- used to be the home of the tea service, which I also inherited, but I'm just not sure. Do you think my action figures would look nice in a 19th-century glassfront cabinet?)

In other news, here's the panicked list of things I must get done by the end of the week, generated yesterday:
Finish shopping.
Wrap presents.
Finish writing and sending Christmas cards. (In progress; I need to make more copies of the Christmas letter. The last people will be getting Amnesty's freebie cards, which I notice have greatly improved their design over the last few years.)
Change sheets.
Laundry.
Buy groceries. (Urgent.)
Bake. (Optional.)
Tidy apartment. (Ha.)
Help decorate house. (In progress; Jen put up the Christmas lights and wreath yesterday)
Dermatologist appointment (Thursday).
Party with old choir (Monday night).
Kensington Market solstice celebration (Thursday night).
Various other parties.
Pick up January Metropass. (Needs to be done some time this week as we've all been instructed to work from home next week -- boss is awesome.)
Get some work done.

Oh dear.

I notice that shifting opinions of bosses are not restricted to western parts of the country ;)

just because he makes me CRAZY doesn't mean I can't recognize his good qualities. ;)

Oh, believe me, I am FAR from one to comment on this particular modus operandi ;)

also, I wish to whine because gmail chat ate part of a conversation last night, then spit it out in the archives. *pout*
