Weekend’s over. I’m not looking forward to heading back to work, but at least I got a lot accomplished over my three days at home:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I didn’t finish any of my knitting project, but I feel like the end is in sight for my grandmother’s birthday wrap — just as we’re heading into a heat wave.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. I wrote a pair of postcards that will go out in the morning’s mail.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. I visited the Georgetown library and picked up a few new books to peruse. I also took advantage of their back patio to read some of Eleanor & Park<\/em>, which I also read by the C&O Canal, at a cafe, at a pizzeria, and, finally, on my couch, late into the night.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. I stopped by the garden to water and refill our slug traps with beer. I picked spinach and lettuce and probably a pint of strawberries. I also noticed the first tomatoes of the season are growing.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. I looked for ducklings in the canal, but only saw a family of geese. Oh, and turtles, cormorants, a couple great blue herons, and what I’m pretty sure was a belted kingfisher.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. I rode my bike, probably ten miles or so.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. I took a yoga class. (Weak arms!)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. I went to the farmers market, where i picked up strawberries and a spear of bamboo. (We’ll make a stir fry this week and use that and some of the bok choy from the garden.)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. My friends phoned and invited me to join them for dinner, so we ate Thai food instead of playing on the swings. Still very enjoyable.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. I drank tea, mango juice, and an Arnold Palmer outside, but not all at the same time.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  11. I got a couple loads of laundry done, but there are probably three more that need doing. (The perils of living with a stinky boy.)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  12. I mopped the bathroom floor and cleaned the sink and mirror. I’m going to let the aforementioned stinky boy work on the tub.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  13. I went to trivia night at my local bookstore and joined a team of strangers. We did not win, but probably finished in the top third. I left without buying any books, but only because it was my second trip there this week.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  14. I put away the Christmas dvds. Maybe next weekend I’ll go over my desk and put away any spare Christmas cds that are lingering there.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  15. A friend and I played phone tag for a while, but we finally got a chance to catch up in a nice chat.\n<\/ol>\n
