Almost there!!
4 work days and 15 mins until Christmas vacation!!! Gifts, food, and family aside, it also means 16 days of sleeping in. Even if I only sleep in til about 8 or 9 nowadays it's still fantastic not to have to get up anywhere near the figure 6. And forest time! I am sooo bringing my running gear and making the most of the fact they've threatened/promised a green Christmas this year.
Weekend - different. I was dogsitting Linus, which was pretty much a full-time occupation. Even when he calmed down from hysterics and nervousness he was still restless. I am so never getting a dog while I live in an apartment. Besides taking him out pretty much every 3,5-4hours, he also woke me up at 1.30 and 5am Saturday night. This meant I had to get dressed and go fully outside at 1.30 and 5am Saturday night. I did get to then sleep until 7.45am before taking him out for the actual morning walk. It's nice to have him around but that's a full-time occupation! Next time I'll dogsit at my parents house methinks.
Still!! The house got incredibly dirty and I can't even begin to express the satisfaction and pride I felt after I cleaned up this filthy abode Sunday evening. I had to rinse out the bucket twice to get rid of the sand, and the floors, by comparison, practically sparkled.
Apart from all the walking, cleaning, and breathing fresh air, I spent most of the weekend with other matronly activities such as baking and doing crafts. I've made gingerbread and lingonberry muffins, fudge and an untranslatable chocolate cookie with nuts (for Christmas, of course). I'm going home now to continue making paper hearts this evening, inspired by this webpage: http://permo.homepage.dk/
A truly amazing webpage and nostalgia heaven for those of us who also dabbled in web design circa 2002 (when the page was last updated). He appears to have made the specs for the various heart designs himself, and they are advanced! I'm eager to see if I can actually accomplish something similar to his finished results... The fact the main purpose of the page is for his Golden Retrievers, one of which was named Caroline, just adds that extra edge of freakiness.
