saturday chores

So it's Saturday. And now that I've joined the world of 40 hour workweeks I think I'll better understand the joy of weekends. It was nice to sleep until 8, drink my coffee in leisure, eat a yummy hot breakfast and think about what the day might hold for me.

So far today I've washed the windows in my kitchen and bedroom. I did the living room windows last night. I must say that clean windows are lovely!I tried to install my newly purchased ceiling fan. However, once I had the power supply off and took off the old light I chickened out. Ah! And reading the instruction book is scary. Caution! Not following instructions correctly may lead to serious injury or even death. Ah! Scary. And well I'm not the confident with my electrical skills. I put the light back together and I'll pack the ceiling fan up and wait until I can find someone to install it for me. Anyone out there want to help this single gal out?

So far this morning I've listened to Weekend Edition, Car Talk, Wait Wait don't tell me, and now the Economic Report. Not having a TV hasn't been as hard as I thought. I like that my living room isn't focused on the display of my TV. I hope to get a little cart to store my TV & DVD player on so that when I want to watch a movie I can just pull the cart out of the closet.

I hope to drive down to Athens this afternoon. I need to return some stuff, drop off some items at the Goodwill, and go to Target to pick up some recently printed photographs and maybe get an end table. We'll see. I'm at the place now in life where I'd love it if my furniture matched! Ha, what strange things we want in adulthood.

Well, I think I'll start by going to the postoffice.
