Project South St. // Day Two // Progress and goals

Late start today…but it was a draining one yesterday. The bathroom is sparkling, save the tub. The tub isn’t clean yet because I soaked all the blinds in there for a few hours yesterday. I was able to scrub and re-hang four of seven sets, and the other three will be done soon. Cleaning blinds is one of those things you only remember is hellish AFTER you get the blinds down and into the tub and tangled around your neck cutting your air supply. While they’re hanging it’s all, “I should clean the blinds, it will be a snap!”

Along with the blinds, and the bathroom, I washed nearly every piece of clothing in the house, and made dinner. i made Cellentani with asparagus, smoked salmon and dill. Notes for next time: forget the lemon zest, add some sauteed peel. And more dill.

The one thing that didn’t get done, or started, yesterday is the returnables. I think I may even wait until tomorrow to do that, or start taking them in batches today.

Today’s goals (after a trip to the coffee shop):
-Clean out chest of drawers, and clean the walls, etc. in the new closet
-hang hooks
-move clothes to new closet area
-Clean old closet and bedroom
-find new home for stuff in drawers
-Clean out hall closet, sort contents

leftovers:
-finish blinds

time permitting:
-start on living room
-take back bottles

Naz Friday! May 07 2004 // 2:46 pm Renee - I've been eating meat occasionally lately. While I was never vegan, I was quite comfortable and liked going to vegan restaurants and such. I've also never really been able to give up fish - I love Japanese too much. My stance on meat though follows as such: if it's high quality and preferable free range and organic, then I'm okay with it. Though I'm not out chasing meats, if a friend wants to go to a meat-heavy restaurant, I'm good with it. The odd thing is that while I was kid, I loved meat, particularly steaks. In my late teenager years I became a vegetarian and have been a non-chicken/beef/pork man since, though in the last few months, the beef and chicken have been consumed a few times.
