More domesticity

It makes me happy to walk into my much-improved kitchen. In addition to the aforementioned titivations, I took everything off the back of the stove and wiped it down. And wiped down the mirror behind the stove, although it's streaky---I didn't find the glass cleaner until late in the process and by then, everything was back in place. (I discovered quite a bit of hot cocoa mix I didn't even know I had.) I did the same with everything on the windowsill over the sink. I am running quite low on paper towels.

Tomorrow/later today, I'm going to try to plow a path into the dining room. (The opening between the two spaces is where grocery bags, empty 12-pack boxes and the like seem to come to rest.) I would really like to be able to EAT at my dining room table. I have a new tablecloth that I bought for it about a year ago, still in the package....

Tentative lunch plans with Kat: Our favorite BBQ place has been closed for remodeling for the last couple of months, and they're finally back in business. I hope the Monday lunch special is still the beef tips with noodles!

Btw, vacation time is up at work. We can start making requests---I've pounced on the 27th of this month (post clean-up) and the 20th and the 21st of next month when GK is down. I may also shoot for the 24th of next month (and make it a really long weekend) as well as March 6th, which I can always cancel if Watchmen doesn't open....
