Today...

... I had the day off work ("March global reset day"), so I've been doing miscellaneous household things.

• Took dog to vet for shots and annual exam. Made appointment for dental cleaning next week. Picked up flea/tick pills for both dogs. We still have two months' supply of heartworm pills.


• Watered plants on enclosed porch. They don't need much water in the wintertime, but they were starting to look a bit withered, and an hour after watering, they look much happier.


• Scrubbed and applied Rustoleum to rusty spots on the handrails of the front steps.


• Took down candle-lit houses from front window. Some people take down this stuff on Dec. 26, some on Jan. 1, some on Candlemas, some on Ash Wednesday, but we've missed all of those, and now it's March. Also put away the Xmas-themed front-yard lights (which shalmestere brought indoors two weeks ago).


• Mostly filled out form for historic-district home-renovation tax credit. Not sure how much of the cost to attribute to which part of the project; e-mailed contractor to get a cost breakdown because only certain parts are eligible for tax credit.


• Paid some medical bills.


• Put away some clothes that were hanging up to dry in the basement.


• Made lunch, using up the last sniglets of frozen salmon that weren't big enough for a dinner for two.


• Picked up prescription refill, and a couple of OTC drugs, from pharmacy. Bought some groceries.


• Tacked down the felt weather-stripping in the front door: it was crumpling every time the door closed, and this offends my sense of rightness. Also whacked a loose door hinge pin back into place, ditto.


• Took a nap.


• Checked work e-mail. Started triaging a bunch of probably-low-priority bugs that were assigned to me over the last few days, but found that most of them had been closed already.


• Went to dinner & Trader Joe's w/shalmestere.
