Yes, this is what Monday feels like.

Gasoline was $1.52/gal at the Noland Rd./23rd St. QuikTrip this morning. Wow.  Apparently, my prediction was way off.

I neglected to take a decongestant before going to bed last night. I slept marginally better without the stimulus of pseudoephedrine, but now I'm a little stuffy (not too bad) and my eyes are watering (likewise, not too bad.)

Yesterday: fondue party.  Good food, excellent company, a happy end to an otherwise meh weekend.

This week: music (for me, and for [livejournal.com profile] aerie13 ); multimedia for church; possibly (finally) get the siding painted.

See, it was cold this weekend - well, cold and windy - and I knew, given those conditions, that I wasn't going to hang any siding, even in the shelter of the front soffit.  So, I didn't bother painting the siding.  This weekend will hopefully be warmer (Saturday predictions are hopeful).

Katie wants to learn how to sew, and at her grandmother's - with more supervision than I was mentally up for providing on Saturday - she showed an aptitude for it.  Need to figure out some good projects for her and start encouraging that.

Maybe PJ pants? They are fairly simple, but for a lot of people, feel more pointful than a pillow. Maybe she could try making a pair for all four of you, for Christmas, and then you could take a Christmas photo of the family all wearing the PJ pants she made....imagine the pride! :-D

I noticed it was $1.55 at the QT on 291 this morning. I was happy.

With, what? An hour commute? Lower gas prices would be a joy for you, I would imagine.

hell yes, I filled up my tank tonight for $26. I was ecstatic.
