The last few days...

elfsThe weekend was... uneventful. We didn't do anything except some housework, and somehow everything got done. I spent some time trying to get Battlestar Galactica onto DVD, but so far all of the experiments have been failures. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take three hours per episode just to do the processing. Watched Mai HiME episode 16, which was hilarious as heck until the dire ending. Kouryou-chan and I did some drawing together.
Monday, Omaha called me to tell me that the toilet downstairs is stuck and running, and she's at her wit's end because she can't find the wrench she needs. She eventually did find it and managed to fix half the problem, so at least our water bill won't be insane. But she had blown so much time that I offered to pick up Kouryou-chan from school instead. She accepted, and I then had to hustle out to the bus and wait downtown, where it was as cold as a summer vacation on Pluto. I did get to Kouryou-chan's school in time to pick her up. She was all happy showing me her Valentine's cards, and she was even happier when we went over to Starbucks for an oatmeal-fudge brownie and a round of checkers.
We stopped at a card shop and picked up Valentine's cards, then wandered down to the bus stop. She snuggled inside my coat to stay warm, managing in the process to bonk me on the chin so hard I damn near bit my tongue off. Ow.
We got home, where I wilfully handed Kouryou-chan the remote control so that Omaha and I could cook dinner together. That was nice; we had one pan whiskey pork-chops, whipped potatoes and steamed string beans. Yum. Sadly, we had neither the energy nor the will to make the most of our evening, and the conversation kept drifting back to what we had left to accomplish. And with Spring hot upon us, the outdoors beckon.
I put Kouryou-chan to bed. She tried to avoid bedtime, but we managed all the same to get her to stay in bed eventually. I went to bed early, woke up on time, and still feel like I could use another eight hours. Bleah.
