Weekend Update, Pt. 2

Today was a busy day. Lots of household chores and running errands. I...

* stripped the bed and washed all the bed linens (included the previous weeks' dirty bedding)
* remade the bed
* did two loads of laundry
* ran two loads of dishes through the dishwasher
* filled a yellow recycling container with crushed soda cans (for drainage) and then nice, rich soil so my wife could plant some melons to grow this summer
* drove to the library to pick up a couple of books while my wife went into the drugstore next door to pick up a prescription, then
* drove with her to the fabric store and read while she shopped
* unbolted a hanging storage rack from a wall on the kitchen and rebolted it elsewhere so I could
* move the refrigerator a few inches to the right, so I could
* clear off a table beside the fridge and a large standing shelf (blocking a kitchen window)
* cleaned them both, and swapped their locations
* then sorted the junk they'd held into a) stuff we'd keep in the kitchen, b) stuff to box up and store in the basement, and c) stuff to throw away
* swept the kitchen floor of all the crud produced by doing the above chores
* did some research for tomorrow's chore list (places to investigate, things to do)
* emailed an editor for a magazine inquiring about submission guidelines (which I cannot find on their website)
* put away the food my wife cooked (she made several dishes to provide lunches during the week)
* and last, but not least, wrote 500+ words just now to fulfill my daily quota.

I had help for a lot of this, but not all of it. And the wife was equally busy, mostly on different projects. As I say, it was a busy day.
