Today was a boring lonely day.  I love Monday's because they are the one day I have consistently off work each week.  But I hate them, because it's usually my cleaning/laundry day, and if there is time, then I can do crafting.  But this week is a little different.

My husband is on work related travel, so it's just me and the cat.  The latter part, I love, the former not so much.  So while I did the cleaning and laundry, I also did maintenance on the computer...As in putting files where they belong, etc.  While the usual got accomplished, I feel like nothing did.  And to make things worse, my favorite pajama bottoms (that I have had forever) decided to tear...and not just a tear, but a gaping hole.  And while I could easily sew them back together, the tear wasn't on the seam, but on the fabric.  Grrrrr....

But, my husband being gone, is maybe a good thing.  I get control of the TV and I get the bed all to myself, no cover hogs.  And, the best part, yesterday after he left...I did a retail therapy.  Now I have a new tool box, that is fully loaded with supplies.  And by fully loaded, I mean packed!

I think it took me at least 2 hours to unwrap everything and put them where I thought their proper place was.  Debating on going and getting a second one...I have a lot of beads, and actual tools that need their own space.  The couch just doesn't cut it.

But as I write this, my laundry is almost finished, and I have a few more things so tidy up.  I wrote down an actual chore list, lets see how clean the house stays with just me and Dresden.
