Add my voice to that proud set. :mrgreen:

Done:
Planted tomatoes and an onion
Made dinner (that no one ate, because they are ingrates)
Put together lamp
Deposited pay check

Sibling Chatty

Slept until 11AM
Went to doctor
Took nap from 4:30-7:30
Chased a bat out of Denise's house
When the restaurant we were at (the little local 'hometown' place) filled up real fast and the fairly new waitress got behind, I poured tea and coffee and helped out with the small stuff. I can still carry two tea pitchers with one hand, but it has to be the right one now...and I can still 'pour from the side' to get ice into the glass--without spilling. I also carried 3 mugs of coffee in one hand. Over 30 years ago, but I can still 'do the basics'!

Opsa

Went to pick up orange "Earth Day" trash pickup bags and safety vests for our neighborhood litter crew, which is made up of people under the age of ten and myself. (I'm mentally a ten-year-old.)

Pachyderm

Got up.
Abluted.
Tidied and cleaned.
Broke glass. (one of my Turkish tea glasses. Survived road trip across Europe with parents for 4 months, and I drop it taking it out of the packaging.)
Swore a lot.
Tidied up glass fragments (HOW do they travel that far?)
About to start cooking.

Rome Season 2 lined up for after din-dins.
Imus ad magum Ozi videndum, magum Ozi mirum mirissimum....

Lindorm

Woke up in a hotel room in Gävle.

Called the driver of the train I was about to relieve, and found out that the train (coming from the far north) actually was on time, which was a first for me this year. In consequence, I had to leg it pretty fast out of the hotel and up to the goods yard.

Worked train 42041 from Gävle goods yard to Älvsjö intermodal terminal, then took the locos back to my home depot and stabled them.

Had a chat with my boss about a few things

Had a chat with staff planning about my upcoming schedule -I need to move a rest day, so I can go and see Einstürzende Neubauten with Darlica when they come to Stockholm later this month.

Went on a shopping spree in a stationary shop on the way home -bought file organizers, labels, bookrests and other exciting stuff.

Went home, fixed lunch.

Started doing tons and tons of laundry

Gave Darlica a hug when she came home from a garden and plant fair she had been to with a few girlfriends.

Did more laundry.

Am now waiting for laundry to dry, which is more exciting than watching paint dry, but not as exciting as watching sourdough ferment.

There was dinner somewhere in there, too, but it was a rather boring affair.
Der Eisenbahner lebt von seinem kärglichen Gehalt sowie von der durch nichts zu erschütternden Überzeugung, daß es ohne ihn im Betriebe nicht gehe.

Darlica

I spent most of the day at a garden exhibition/garden and plant fair and in company of two of my oldest and dearest friends. A lot of laughing and joking and general merriment. :D
Bought some interesting seeds and bulbs (I'll post about it later in the garden forum). 

Came home got hugs from Lindorm, helped him with the laundry a bit, had dinner.

Very, very exciting.

Read up on something I promised a friend I would do for him, even though I think it's deeply silly.
Drank large amounts of green matte.

Research paper
Re-write other paper
Wash apron (as I open tomorrow--hopefully for the last time)

I did the same on Friday night - after a week of avoiding anything stronger than green tea.  I was still buzzing on Saturday morning when I woke up (yes I slept - but it was not restful).


I cleaned the balcony today - BIG significance as there was 8 months worth of recycling, bottles, and pigeon crap on it.  Still need to deal with the pigeon crap, though.  ::)

Took said recycling in and will be loading the bottles into the car for return soon.
WWDDD?

Pachyderm

Took Laura to the airport, for her 3 week holiday in Australia. Not jealous. No, not at all.

Sibling Chatty

Took Denise to get her 'indigent' health care reinstated, after they screwed her around for 5 months.

Going to sleep EARLY, so that I can get up at midnight, take my meds and then be NPO until my endoscopy. (Gonna eat a Pop Tart with 'em.) Oh, and did my pre-admit for the procedure...
