My weekend was very productive, yet relaxing. Friday I got home and played a lot of Tetris, then went and filled out employment forms at Kirkwood. I got home and mowed the lawn, since it was supposed to rain all weekend. I started trimming the ground plants by the driveway, and I noticed parts of the limestone wall were being pushed out by the roots, so I tore parts of the wall out and removed some of the dirt so I could reposition the limestone wall. My neighbor came over to check out my project (I had limestone slabs and piles of dirt all over my driveway) and I just had to laugh, "This started out as trimming the plants." I eventually got it put back together about 8:00 p.m.; there were only three slabs that I couldn't figure out where they went. If I had been smart, I would have organized my tear-down so I knew what went where, but it ended up looking good, so no harm no foul. I continued my project Saturday by getting flowers planted. I think I bought entirely too many. I didn't quite realize there where twenty plants to a flat, and bought two flats of marigolds, one of salvia, plus impatients, begonias and geraniums. I ended up just planting some of them a little closer together than recommended.
Yesterday I picked up the house and spring cleaned/rearranged my room. I now have my bed against the south wall, which makes the room look less crowded, and now if I want to put window dressings on the windows, it won't look overwhelming. I'm glad I got the room clean, at least. I had dust bunnies under my bed the size of the Monty Python rabbit. Good thing I'm not allergic to dust. However, the spare bedroom is now a huge mess. I'm going to try and tackle that closet next. I will get organized! I even made my bed this morning!
Other than that, I finished watching Season 6 of Buffy on DVD. I don't know what it is, but I appreciate it more on subsequent viewings. I think it's because I understand the emotions more. It is really an emotional season, and more about character development than any Big Bad. One of the extra features was entitled "Season Six: Life as the Big Bad" and I hadn't realized that before for some reason, so that kind of resonated with me. That and I got to watch OMWF for the first time. Yay! "Every single night, the same arrangement..."
How much do you want to bet Chelsea just sang along to that last line?
