What a weekend!

Well, I didn't get done everything I wanted to do and lots of stuff I hadn't planned on doing. I did get to Ace, Home Depot and WalMart on Saturday morning, but didn't get home until 12noon. I needed to switch out our satellite receiver. I did that but it's no good either, so I'm still DVR-less. *sigh* The only thing I got done in the hallway was taping the doors, doorbell and a/c register.
There was no branch meeting on Friday. It's been rescheduled, but no one knows when. I got a call on Saturday morning that told me that my hours are being changed to 9-6 starting Tuesday. The sales crew is the reason I work so late and management changed their hours, so that means my hours change too. Hooray! I'm working "normal hours" again. Hopefully, this will last for the rest of the year. I'm only working 3 days this week. I took off Thursday/Friday because Thursday is B's and mine 4 year anniversary and sometimes we'll go do things around that date and want to make sure that's possible. But, this year I'm just off to head to take Lilly for her yearly shots/checkup and do my painting that I didn't get done this weekend.
We went to Norfolk for some hockey last night. It was good to see live hockey even if I didn't care about the teams either way. I did notice that Manchester had a guy named Hickey on their team, so that who I started to root for and of course they lost. We'll be going again in December for my birthday with again I team I don't care about, but then in January we'll go and see a team where I can root against Norfolk (as usual).
Today, Crystal came over and we cleared out the flower beds of dead/dying plants & ground cover. Byron replaced the rusted out mailbox and B & I replaced the doorbell button and cleaned out a closet that needed it and took most of that to the dump. We're finally doing stuff with the house that should have been taken care of when we moved in 4 years ago.
Only 20 days to my Outer Banks vacation :)
Until next time, keep your stick on the ice.

Cleaning

I should have taken a before picture so I could track the progress of the cleaning. I've taken an hour each morning since Tuesday to start cleaning the house. I'll pick one area to do and work on that for an hour before going into work. I've already got my dresser and nightstand cleaned and the floor between those two pieces. My mom is getting a new desk and offered up her old one to us and I wanted to replace the POS desk that's in there now. There's nothing wrong with Mom's desk, she's just upgrading to one that she found on eBay. That meant that the "catch all" room that used to be the computer room (before we got the laptop) needed to be cleaned at least enough to get the old desk out and the new desk in there. I started that cleaning this morning and got everything off the desk but the electronics. I have an iMac that I was given for free that I've never bothered to hook up or use. I guess I'll be giving that to Goodwill. I also cleaned under the desk (lots of dustbunnies!) and into the corner. I need to work on the other side of the desk tomorrow morning. B's clothes are kept in this room and I did ask him to start getting them up and he did, but now he needs hangers to get more of them cleared. Fun! Until next time, keep your stick on the ice.
