long errand days

let's see.

thursday last week was the first day of my recovery week. i had lunch with my parents, then finally made that trip to the warehouse store of Regalong Pambahay from which i got : stickers, a lamp, a decorative storage box and a nice handbag. i cleaned and fixed my place until midnight and was achy when i went to bed.

friday was battling it out in the mall. i got : a new dishrack, more storage solutions, new pots (a wok and a very small sauce pot) and a small frying pan, a transformer for my convection oven. more cleaning and clutter-clearing and re-arranging until midnight. really achy when i went to bed.

saturday was more cleaning and fixing in the morning. an exhausted nap in the early afternoon, and then off to practice at 4pm. night out with with the group, but jacob and i left early because jacob wasn't feeling well. we had cakes and coffee by ourselves before going home. jacob took meds and slept soundly.

sunday was supposed to be a continuation of the cleaning and clearing but i suddenly felt so achy and tired and lazy. jacob and i were supposed to run for some workout but ended up napping and watching Bleach. then we stepped out to buy DVDs and had dinner out. then more lazing about.

monday was serious errand day. i deposited money for my home loan, then opened a new savings account in a nearby convenient bank. supermarket shopping. then lunch at my parents' house. then my parents borrowed my car so i tagged along and had an impromptu shopping trip. i got : an apron, more storage solutions, a new rice cooker, lots of home improvement stuff from the hardware store including cleaning tools, a good bunch of second-hand magazines for my vision wall, the latest volume of Bleach.

tuesday was meeting up with my insurance agent. then an appointment with the dentist. i got new eyeglasses. took my iMac for repairs - it will need a new optical drive so i'm using my old iBook. i got a full body massage (FINALLY!!!). then brought my sis to Regalong Pambahay where she shopped happily while i got : matching magazine rack to my lamp, decorative storage boxes, decorative glass candle holders, more stickers, and ref magnets. i also got around to making a batch of blueberry cheesecake.

to my delight jacob dropped by around 10pm and so he was able to take home a tray of cheesecake. we watched Saint Seiya, The Doctors and Iron Chef America. had coffee and cheesecake.

tomorrow, or rather, today (it's 3AM!) i plan to just stay home and complete all the fixing. my to-do list include:
- finding a good recipe to try on my new and now operational convection oven
- reading the manual of and setting up my Canon Selphy photo printer
- working on my vision walls
- trying out new recipes
- organizing all the receipts and warranties and other important documentation
- pay my mobile phone bills online
- review and update my to-do list
- finish Neil Gaiman's book (Odd and the Frost Giant) - i'm about three quarters through, and start a new book
- clear more clutter
- clean and fix that water-damaged corner by the home theater set
- complete all decorations
- play Final Fantasy VII
- watch the latest episode of Supernatural
- organize photos

hmm that's about what i can think of at this point.

i shall resume farming now. maybe about another half hour and then i shall be off to bed. oyasumi.
