M. Silver's Journal: To buy a fat pig

Well, I didn't quite get the pig finished, but it's close enough that I'm pretty confident I can put it on eBay next Sunday night. My debut, woo hoo.

After going back to 5x8 days for awhile, my husband has decided to flex back to 4x9+4, so he's taking Monday afternoons off. That'd be today, so I'm not sure what that does to my schedule. I think for awhile Mondays will be "work on Gamehawk" day, which brings the "work on the house" days down to three. Well, three and a half, since Monday mornings will still be housework days.

And my housekeeper is laid up, having had pretty much all of her molars pulled. They pull more teeth next time, and fit her for the dentures that she's needed for many years.

At least I've gotten a fair amount of catchup work done today. Cleaned the kitchen, mostly, and sorted all the laundry from the trip. Discovered that my husband left wet stuff in the washer during my entire trip, so it's been there a week and a half. Eww. It didn't smell mildewy, amazingly enough, so I dumped more detergent in and rewashed it all. It's a lovely sunny 100+ degree day (obWeatherblogging) so we've talked about stringing a retractable clothesline.

And, in the middle of that sentence, my husband called to say his mother had invited him out to lunch, did I and our son want to come? Which we would, except that I put a pot roast in the oven an hour and some change ago, figuring he'd be home for lunch. Oh well.
