Went to bed shortly after getting back from happy hour last night. I woke up sometime after midnight feeling a bit dizzy; this despite having chugged a liter and a half of water when I got home. Fortunately, it passed and I slept through the rest of the night undisturbed.
Up this morning and we were both in moods to get things done. We made good use of the time. I finally cleaned off the kitchen counter, which was being used as a gigantic inbox. Kelly cleaned things too. We headed out to Potomac Yards to run errands: returned some things to Sports Authority, picked up some books at Barnes & Noble, grabbed some cat litter from Pet Smart and then a few odds and ends from Target. We were home by noon. I cleaned out the cat litter and then we had lunch: grilled cheese (Someone is bound to comment on the previous sentence, but believe me, it was all perfectly sanitary.) At Target we picked up some containers for cereal so that the boxes are no longer taking up space in the cupboard. We also got a nice little magnetic whiteboard for the fridge.
Kelly went out with Sarah all afternoon (scoping out houses for Sarah’s sister) and I stayed home and relaxed. I vacuumed and folded laundry. I watched Jumper on HBO. It was one of those movies where the book was so much better and so different that the two really didn’t have anything to do with one another (except the teleportation). Not a bad movie, just not nearly as good as Steven Gould’s book. I got some reading done too. And even managed to sneak in a nap.
When Kelly and Sarah got back, we headed over to Shirlington and had dinner at Guapo’s. I had the bacon-wrapped shrimp dish again, which was just as good this time as the first time. After dinner we headed over to the movie theater. Kelly and Sarah went to see Slumdog Millionaire, while I went and saw The Wrestler, which turned out to be one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while.
We got all the chores and errands done today so tomorrow there’s not much to do. I plan on getting to work on the second draft of "Homecoming", now that I’ve gotten some good feedback. Maybe get some more reading in, as well.
