Today is house cleaner day. Yahoo! I think I'll make a little trip to Safeway while she's here. Last week they served the most delicious green bean salad here. And it would make a perfect make-ahead salad to keep on hand. It was green beans, onions, feta cheese and cocktail tomatoes. The cheese and tomatoes didn't add anything and the dressing wasn't my favorite so... my plan is to get a load of green beans, blanch them quickly and then add onion slices and a light sesame dressing. So my plan is to make up a batch of this. But, I don't have beans onions or sesame dressing, hence Safeway.
Even the most direct route is a nice long walk from here to the center of the building - down two floors and down 3 long corridors. It's where the front desk is, the front door, the mail room and the dining rooms. So yesterday I was sitting on the couch, watching the ballgame and thinking I should really get off my ass but the mail wasn't here yet, it wasn't time for lunch or dinner, I didn't really need anything downstairs... BUT, hey, why not start on the clothes culling project!
So I got a bag and filled it with clothes - just enough to carry comfortably - and took a walk downstairs to the donation bin outside the front door! Perfect. Emptying the pool by the cup full! It was the easy stuff. The stuff hanging in the storage unit is the stuff I couldn't bring myself to part with before but still don't wear. It's going to take more discipline
The CPA has not yet filed my return. Not a big deal. Just annoying. Every day I log onto the IRS site to check and every day, nada. The runway is getting kind of short.
Julio is getting interested in me. For the past few months, he's been hopping up to the couch next to me. He never stays long but lately he's been letting me pet him. And most nights he sleeps with me - snuggled up next to me while Biggie sleeps in his bed in the closet. My friends from New Zealand are coming in July. When they were last year - two years ago - Julie tried patiently and mightily to get him to let her pet and he would sniff and run away. She would get such a kick out of his attention. I hope he's on a 'people' trend.
