Why can't every day be Saturday? (Preferably the Saturday after payday...)

Slept until 8AM, woke and contemplated the CSC for a while. Got up and had a gigantic breakfast and gathered up all bags of cans and as may strays as I could and took them down to the recycling center. Huzzah! I've been putting that off for weeks. It netted a little over $11, at 42 cents per pound, which tells you that I've consumed an awful lot of soda in the last few months.

Had it spent before I even got home: picked up supplies to take care of my roots--LONG overdue, I last touched them up on my birthday (part of B's home spa treatment!), which is 9 September... Treated myself to a 99 cent nail file that's supposedly chocolate-scented--manicure scheduled for later! Picked up eggs, bread and...more soda.

Stopped by the pawn shop that I had to pass on the way home, and found a DVD of "Equilibrium"--now I can beta kukkurkurat's latest opus. I feel guilty that I've put it off for so long, but it's really difficult to make suggestions on something if you're unfamiliar with canon.

Came home and very sensibly did *not* stick it in the DVD right away. Instead, I got a trash bag of crap out of the office and another one out of my room. You'd think with all this talk of bags and bags of trash that it'd be looking great, right? It's much improved, but there's still a long way to go. It didn't happen overnight, it's not going to be Martha Stewart in a week--or even a month--but I'm telling myself that as long as I make progress and take out more than I bring in, *eventually* it's going to be neat and orderly.

B's invited me over for dinner--lasagna!--and another session of touch-up. Maybe when we're through, I can coax her into taking some pix with her camera phone so I can show off my new glasses.... (Assuming, of course, that I can figure out how to attach pix and hide them properly!)
