Long Day

Made pumpkin bread before I went to bed last night; this morning I had to get up to make an apple pie, both to be delivered to a homeless shelter by 10am (okay, I made it by 10:15. So shoot me) for a Girl Scout service project. Drove over to Emeryville to return some stuff to Ikea, stopped by a hardware store to pick up some stuff for projects we're doing here. Cleaned the bathrooms and half the kitchen (which is to say: the stove, the oven, and the cabinets). Helped the Spouse put up track lights in Avocado's room. Went out to Humphrey Slocum for ice cream: Vietnamese coffee and cinnamon brickle. Watched The Big Lebowski with Avocado and the Spouse. Then painted the front steps. Will need at least one more coat, but at least that's almost done.

Everything hurts, but at least I've earned my keep.
