In which we have a day off...

Today is my first non-travelling day off in... at least a month. I want to say closer to two. I spent it working in the yard, potting the plants I shopped for last night, organizing some closets and generally wearing myself out doing boggany things.

It was AWESOME.

Last night, in preparation for what I knew would be a day of domestic bogganry, The Valkyrie and I went over to Sierra Vista and came home with three new pieces of do-it-yourself furniture (a movie shelf for the Viking, a bookshelf for her room and a shoe-organizer for under her desk.) As well, we bought a bunch of new rubbermade containers for organizing the game closet and the top of the hall closet, and about $100 worth of flowers, herbs, tomatoes and planters.

This morning, after sleeping in until the luxurious hour of 8am, I got up and started in on the plantings.

I was so excited about bogganing today, I forgot that I'd been indoors for the better part of the last year.
