I dropped off the POS vacuum to the Dyson repair shop. Also found out they do sewing machine repair estimates for free - and if you don't think the machine is worth the cost of repair, they offer a trade-in value. So I plan to take advantage of that when I pick up the Dyson.
Tried to take my old, nearly dead, TV and computer monitor to a recycling center but they'd already closed.
Got a peppermint mocha (to keep from falling asleep).
Dropped off mail order return at UPS store.
Bought a full-sheet, 8-page at time, cross cut shredder. Should have done this a week ago, before I shredded about 1,000 sheets of paper in my 3-page, narrow (have to fold the paper into thirds - meaning each sheet automatically counts as 3), shredder. But better late than never.
Got my mani/pedi.
Stashed money outside for tomorrow (superstition).
Vacuumed the entire house.
Watered the backyard plants.
Organized entire CD collection.
Washed all the dishes.
Mopped the kitchen floor.
Bought some food & beverages (so I'm not scrounging for breakfast or lunch when everything is closed).
Gave a bottle of champagne (Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvee) to each of the new neighbors. Laughed when one said she'd turn down the music early - since it couldn't even be heard from outdoors. Appreciated, but did not accept, the offer for BBQ ribs from the guys downstairs. Noted that the building owners did not move in - they're all renters.
Dumped ALL of the trash & recycling.
Put away all my clean clothes and blankets.
Submitted online rebate form for the new shredder.
Completed online survey.
Generally straightened stuff up (or moved to more organized piles) and admired how nearly decent the house can look when its clean(-er). Made a mental note to get housekeeper bids ASAP - before it all goes back to hell.
1.5 hours (and 1 shower) to go.
BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!
