Work? I work at home (today)

And here's what I'm doing:

• Catching up the memes done by 9 a.m.



• Getting dressed ...and washed my face and combed my hair...at 11:15



• Washing the non-dishwasher-safe dishes done at 12:30, because I needed one of them



• Watching Oprah (unless it's dorky today) not dorky; watched while working on listserves below



• Picking up all the page-a-day Sudokus and throwing them away done around 2:30



• Generally picking up the house odds and ends over the course of the evening



• Making a grocery list, a VERY COMPLETE one (we're out of a lot of stuff, from bagels to toilet cleaner and virtually everything in between) I'm starting on this at 9:15, should be done by 9:30 I finally did this on Saturday morning...



• Going through Sparky's bag and making sure he's got what he needs to stay warm this weekend done by 4:45 while IMing with Amy...Multitask is me...



• Putting away my laundry (from Sunday...sigh) done, at 11:15



• NOT eating Sparky's last piece of birthday cake so far so good--ate breakfast, finally, at 11:30; still in the fridge waiting for his return on Sunday



• Reading the 250 290-plus emails on one of my cataloging listserves started at 9:00...finished at 1:00 with about an hour in accumulated breaks. Sadly, I signed up for yet another listserve as a result of reading these posts. I'm mental.



• Checking Typo of the Day against our catalog done around 2:00



• Checking Dewey Errors listserve against our catalog done around 2:20



• Cleaning bathrooms done at 4:30



• Napping? I think I can squeeze in 45 minutes...at 3:00
