So I BBQed. This was actually the first time I've BBQed on my own ever. All other times I tend to stand by the person who's working the fire and say things like "Good job" and "Sure I'd like a cheeseburger."
But no, tonight I was on my own!
And I've got to say - I did pretty good. Cooked the burgers and corn a smidge longer than necessary, but otherwise they came out mighty tasty and at no time did I set anything but the charcoal on fire. Go me!
I ate dinner on the porch, then relaxed with more of my reread of Goblet of Fire, and then finally went inside once I'd decided that the cats had gone without petting for long enough.
Once inside cats were petted, yoga was done, I love the 80s was watched and I made 2 more earrings. Much like the ones I made yesterday they are not the platonic ideal of earrings, but at least I'm getting my practice in. Plus I was able to fix the ones I made yesterday (sorta). So slowly but surely I'm learning a new thing.
I also called up the plumber and snarked into his voice mail. He and I have been playing phone tag for over a week now. Granted, it's not an emergency situation but OTOH how hard is it for him to leave a message saying "I could come over on blah day, that good for you"?
Still, plumber issues aside, t'was a very good day.
