verbminxToday I have done almost nothing worth mentioning, but it was all worth getting done. I worked on cleaning my bathroom, because the towel bar broke the other night and the apartment manager is going to have to come in to fix it, and I want the area to be decently clean for the occasion. I also worked on cleaning my room, organizing my stuff, doing my laundry, copying cds from the library, watching Gilmore Girls while working on knitting the sleeves for a sweater, etc. It was a nice day, helped immensely by only watching the hour of television that I'd planned to watch.
Also good about today:
- the Boy, who is a Copy Professional, volunteered to copy Alice Starmore's Book of Fair Isle Knitting for me at his job. When the boy copies something, he does not go halfway. He informed me this evening that it "might take him a while to get to the color section, since customers are always wanting to use the color copiers." !! I told him not to worry about copying those sections; I'm mainly interested in the instruction/technique and the big section of black and white charts. He said, "OK, that makes it easier. Do you want me to put a binding on it?" Another "!!" as far as I was concerned. I'm going to have him do ALL my photocopying from now on. He is the Xerox God.
- I just got on the waiting list for the School of Rock dvd at the library, since I didn't see it in the theater. I'm #88. That sounds worse than it is; you can only check out DVDs for a couple of days, and they have dozens of copies in circulation if something is new and popular (at least one copy for every library). I also got a note today saying that my copy of Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them has come in. That one I had to wait longer for; the checkout period is like three weeks and I was #130 or so on the list. Still, I only reserved it a month or so ago, which is pretty good!
