Doing bookkeeping while the sun shines

rolanniSo Hurricane Bill swung wide and all we're gonna get is (maybe) some thunderstorms and a lot of wet, tropical air. Sigh. I was ready for hurricane weather, me.
Yesterday was one of those days where I got a whole lot of stuff done at the day-job. Unfortunately, it wasn't exactly the stuff I had planned on getting done. Ah, well, Monday's another day.
After work, I took my car, which is in danger of acquiring "The Green Pearl" as a moniker unless I get creative quick, to the body shop, since someone apparently used the fender to stand on when we were at Old Orchard Beach, breaking one of the clips that holds the, um, plastic nose part onto the rest of the car below the passenger side headlight, thereby pushing the plastic part sufficiently so that it hangs down in a disconcerting sort of way. After an inspection and repeated assertions that "that don't look right" a clip was ordered and an appointment made for Thursday to install. With luck, I'm out of it for $90. Fingers crossed.
Moving right along, I stopped at the drug store to pick up the prescription I had been assured by phone earlier in the day would be ready by 3:00, except it wasn't, so I waited around a while for that to happen, arriving home to find that Steve had achieved a similar day and was similarly baked.
That being so, we did what anyone would do; we turned off the computers in view of what appeared to be an incipient thunderstorm and went into town to spend the rest of theSecretaries Day Administrative Professionals Day gift card on white pizza and a glass of wine each. Good call.
We got home just before the thunderstorm and sat together watching the rain and talking, and so, eventually, retired.
Today, having slept very, very late, and partaken of a wonderful breakfast created by Steve, I've got the first load of laundry washing and am ready to catch up the bookkeeping, and the emails likewise. I also have a book to finish. Reading. Yay, reading. Or maybe we'll both knock off early and watch some Brisco County Jr. Or, hey, if the bookkeeping goes fast, maybe I'll do both.
What's everybody doing that's fun on the weekend?
