jeanvieveToday, the story is all about catching up. My laundry fairy is flown down south for spring cleanings there, so the piles are getting out of hand and need to be mastered today. When I woke up, I thought that I would make pancakes for the house. Maybe waffles. Then I discovered the shopping list needed to include such elements as eggs, milk and butter. So we went out for brekkies instead, and I had roughly what I would have had at home in two eggs over easy with toast. I like IHOP as much or more as the higher priced place we went.
Kitty-ums has a small flea wandering around on her, so dosed her fur and will be laundering the blankets along with vacuuming in general today.
Creatively I plan to get chords written out for a song, possibly my "Tall and Frightening" written out. This week I got a piece written by GregRobin re-transposed properly. Citizens, hear me out! There's only so much a music program can do for you! It cannot recognize key signature nor time signature properly. (Also if you flub a measure here or there it is merciless about recording your sixty-fourth rests and random notes. Evil machines!) So discussed some basic theory and ear training lessons with the guys and they were open to it. Life needs more music in it. Bitsy kindly set up the keyboard for me to monkey around and figure out simple chords for the Whitechapel Blues.
Going out to dash by a pawn shop and see if they have a push mower cheap. Or other mower cheap. And return by way of the fabric store, where I'm going to pop in and see if they want a box of scraps to use for their quilting classes. Yes, by hook or crook we're going to stop hoarding scraps and trim!
I have another job interview, this time near Pike's Market in Seattle for DocuSign. Security Compliance Manager, mostly reviewing contracts and terminology. Could be seriously fun! But really, anything outside of my current position is good. I told my Account Manager I plan to try and be gone by 5/15, so I've created the light at the end of the tunnel for myself. If I'm stuck with a week or two not working, aw shucky darn. No more being depressed about work.
