Happy Solstice!

I think, once my darling husband gets home, I'm going to ask him to help me move the bookshelf upstanrs down to my room, and move the dreser that's in my office upstairs. Then we'll have more room for little incidental stuff like towels and stuff that really need a home up in the bedroom since we don't have a single freaking linen closet - note to self, next house must have linen closets - and I will have more room for things like books and yarn and won't have them in piles on the floor anymore. Sounds good, doesn't it?

It's also a nice way to get my altar changed for the season, since I still have winter's altar set up from two winters ago. And perhaps making it easier to change my altar .. which is only devotional anyway and not a real working altar .. might encourage me to actually do so, and thus encourage me to actually perform said devotions. And stuff.

My legs are still botheirng me at night. but at this point I'm unsure how much of it is RLS and how much of it is my poor legs saying 'oh my god will you -please- give us a day off to rest!'. I did find that rubbing muscle rub on them helped. I was at least able to go back to sleep. Which in this house is a very good thing. An overtired Tania is a grouchy, hard to live with, Tania

Waiting

I am sitting here, -waiting- .. patiently anxiously for DHL to return with my laptop. Apparently they attempted delivery at freaking 9:30 this morning. I wasn't even out of bed .. because honestly, I wasn't expecting delivery until tomorrow. So I contacted them, and they are having the driver re-deliver this afternoon. I was told I should have my pretty Blossom laptop in my eager little hands by 5PM. It's 1:30PM now. So. I have 3.5 hours to wait. Patiently. Anxiously.

In other news, my gardens are looking beautiful. And if I do say so myself, I have discovered a bit of a green thumb. The only plant I'm worried about is the hibiscus. The leaves are yellowing and dropping off, and the blooms aren't fully opening. Jason suspects it's getting too much water, so I've been trying to water that part of the garden only every two days and seeing if that helps.

Side note: Every time I try to remember that plant name, I have to remember hydrangea and hyacinth before I get the right name. Both of those I also have in my gardens. What's with the h's?

We did a huge house clean yesterday. We got rid of my old desk, and brought in a small drafting table for me to use in the meantime until the one I picked out can be ordered and delievered from Jason's mom's work. It's -so- nice. We got rid of a truck full of junk, and another truck full of stuff we're going to attempt to sell at a yard sale. I can actually use my closet! We also moved the furniture in the living room. Again. I'm proud of us. We got a lot done yesterday.

I still have a lot to get done today though. And I'm anxious, because I don't want to leave, and have the DHL guy just leave the package here. A package on my doorstep, or even my back patio, that says Dell all over it is just asking to be stolen. So I'm hoping he gets here soon, because I need to go shopping, and take Jason's car to the dealership for an oil change, and I have a conference call at 3:30, and have to get to the bank hopefully before they close. And the dealershiop closes at 6. As soon as DHL gets here I'm gonna go out, even though it kills me to not be able to play with my pretty new laptop. But since James has to go with him mom to rescue his uncle from an abusive wife who thinks it's okay to beat him up because he can't work after having surgery, I won't have a lot to do tonight.
