My productive weekend

February 7, 2011

I got LOTS done this weekend! I’m writing this quick post so I can reflect back on it when I’m tired at work tomorrow (ha ha), and then running around like a crazy person for the next couple of weeks. So many things on my Google Calendar, I keep getting confused about whether a specific event or appointment is this week or next week!

So, yesterday:
Brought car to shop to get an oil change and replace a headlight;
Finished all the prep work for federal income taxes, and filed them online for free! Yay for direct deposit of income tax refund, please come soon!!
Renewed my Friends of the Library membership for 2011.

Today was my mega-cleaning day:
Vacuumed all carpeted rooms except one, and also vacuumed three sections of stairs, plus a short hallway;
Dusted boys’ bedroom;
Cleaned kitchen;
Cleaned main bathroom.

I probably would have done even more cleaning, like the second bathroom, but I was running low on cleaning supplies.

Not too much reading this weekend, BUT, I started a new audiobook while I cleaned today: A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft, downloaded to my phone from Librivox. I’m enjoying it more than I thought I would; it’s not as DRY as I feared it would be. I’ve already copied some quotes into Evernote.

Yep, it was a good weekend. Hope it’s the start of a good week!

I took the day off from work today so I could do most of the housecleaning I usually do on Saturdays. Tomorrow, I’m going to be READING! Or at least that’s my plan. Even if I don’t read a TON, it feels good to have a good amount of cleaning…
