Weekend Day 3/4 Progress: dogs baffed (much consternation and resentment), tidied my room & cleared out a bunch of ratty old clothes, cleaned the floors in my room/bathroom/stairs.
Long Weekend Day 2/4 featured much laundry and sk8 (both doing and watching) and a trip to Trader Joes. i also solved one of the two huge lingering expensive problems that was hanging over me (buying new washing machine)
