How I Spent My Bachelor Week

With Anne in Italy for a week, my “me” time was spent thusly…

• I worked, a lot.
• I made some slow but steady progress on building the vanities for our new bathrooms.
• I mowed the yard for the first time this year, climbed a tree to remove dead branches, and otherwise spent a day on miscellaneous yard work.
• I put a small dent in the disposal our scrap wood pile.
• I watched two Netflix DVDs: The Hurt Locker and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
• I watched the entire first season of Arrested Development on my iPad thanks to the Netflix app.
• I went to the grocery store once, and out for food five times: thrice for lunch and twice for dinner.
• I cleaned the cat box (it was awful).
• I cleaned up cat barf (slightly less awful) twice.
• I tried, unsuccessfully, to wash the mystery goo off of Anne’s car.
• I successfully (I hope) got our taxes in the mail and my IRA contributions recharacterized for tax purposes.
• I shot the shit with multiple neighbors on no less than three occasions.
• I took one bath in the new tub, but got greedy and filled it far too high resulting in luke-warm water at best.
• I went for a big-ass walk.

And of course, I missed Anne…
