I totally screwed up and didn’t bring home one report that I needed to do as much work as I had hoped to do this weekend. I got some stuff done, but had to quit when I didn’t have the report. I was still able to spend a couple of hours on work stuff, but not near as much as I had hoped for. I did try printing to my work printer, so we’ll see how that worked out tomorrow.

So, since I couldn’t get lots of work work done, I spent time in the backyard finishing up what I started yesterday. I filled up the yard waste can and that always makes me feel good. I also hosed down the decking around the pool since the pool guy cleaned the filters and left tons of earth residue everywhere. Next time I’m going to tell him to let me know when the filters need cleaning and I’ll do it myself. It took me longer to clean up the mess he made than it would have taken just to clean the filters myself. And for that I have to pay him $50!

After getting the trash out, I finally went to the grocery. I haven’t been grocery shopping since before I went up to Seattle…and I was out of everything! I should have gone days ago, but just kept putting it off. So now I have enough food to last for a few weeks and can come directly home each night knowing there’s something to eat in the house. Oh, there was food here but all of it meant that I had to actually cook and there seemed to be one thing or another that was missing from anything I thought about fixing. So now I’m all set and will only have to stop at PetSmart later in the week for cat & dog food.

Even though I wasn’t able to get lots of work stuff done, I did have a fairly productive weekend and actually feel good about going to work tomorrow. Lots of people will be off since it’s Columbus Day so there will be little traffic and no mail to sort through. A good day to get lots accomplished.
