I got up at about 6:45 this morning, with no alarm. I'd had enough sleep, my body was happy, and by golly it's after nine on the east coast (I hadn't fully adapted, but enough to do that, at least).
So the laundry will be done by noon. Dad will stop by a bit later and I'm loaning him a few DVDs. Then I go to the library, return the book I took with me, pay the fine on the one that was one day late (ooo, a dime), and look for other stuff. I'm not sure yet if I'm going up to the Japanese Gardens after or not. It does sound vaguely nice, but I'm not sure if that's of the "I want to go do/see/be" or of the "habit" variety of nice, so we'll see.
If you live in or near the Portland area and haven't been to the Japanese Gardens at least once, and you like nature, gardening, Japanese gardening, decorative sand and rocks, and/or water features, it might be worth a visit. It's good in all seasons but I think most people enjoy it the most in spring - unfortunately, March 1 brings an increase of the adult admission fee (50 cent increase, to 6.50; no other costs increasing).
Going to runaround dostuff for the afternoon, come back and be online in the evening, I think. I may also stop and get myself some sort of treat for the week, we'll see. Only if I can think of or find something I really want that's in-budget, but my budget is pretty good since it's the first of the month and I just got back from a work trip. :) The really-want part is likely to be the limiting factor; I find that the more I think about what I'll use, the less I want much of what I once would have bought.
Also want to get some of the stuff I didn't get done on the trip, done today!
