Alarm went off at 6 am this morning. Snoozed it until 7, when I turned it off to get up...and fell back asleep, waking up at 8. Argh! Fortunately I still had enough time to run around and get out the door on time. I headed over to my parents' house, to meet volunteers for a local charity who were picking up the dining table and chairs. I hated to let them go, but we wouldn't have used them. The set we have is as nice in appearance, and sturdier. The one my parents had, while full of memories, wasn't as good a table for us, especially with the gaming group. Plus, what would we do with the one we had?
It was warm enough the drive up was fine, but it was snowing (not sticking) once I was at my parents' house. Quite pretty, really. And if I was sad to see the table and chairs go (and I was: I cried, laugh at me if you want, after they'd driven off with them), I was comforted to learn less than two hours later that they had already been delivered to a mother with four children, who needed them. May they form more good memories for another family. They really are pretty, but - I have photos of the pretty, and memories. I didn't need the actual table. I think I'm even starting to believe that emotionally (as opposed to intellectually: I knew this was true but that didn't make it a comfortable choice).
Got home, took a break, did the grocery shopping. Spoke with the realtor and we get together tomorrow to sign papers for listing the house. Spoke with someone else who is interested in the house advising him of pending listing and offering the realtor's info. (He wasn't in a spot to write it down but will call back Monday.) Took my camera into Fry's to get shipped back for repair or replacement. (It is convinced batteries are 'low power' or 'no power' even when they're fine for other things, and are brand new. Since it auto-turns-off under low power and otherwise fails, this is really not ideal. Very not ideal, in the sense of 'useless'.)
And earlier it hailed here, after I was home from most of the grocery shopping. Made the backyard nice and white. Some of the hailstones were pea-sized - quite large for this area. And a couple flashes of lightning in the distance. Now it is quiet and boring again. I can live with quiet and boring, I think.
I played WoW for a bit earlier too. I was sure I did more, but I guess I didn't. Still a productive day. And very busy. (Part of this is cramming stuff in: I'm on call next week, so it's easier to cram this week full of things that need doing soon but are hard to duck in and out of if need arises.)
Tired, headachy, sinus acting up. I think I go to bed now. (Well, after a bath or shower, both for the pleasure of it and in case the sinus is allergies.)
