Quite a day

[mizarchivist]

 My Sunday officially started when I woke up with a jolt to... nothing. Silence. Not a noise. There had been no noise for hours.  I woke up again very emphatically at 6... nope. Still nothing. Finally at 7:30 after I decided I'd just stay in bed and rest for a few more minutes there was babble from the other room. That's right. The second night of the sleep experiment was an astonishing success. 
But lest you think I'm getting complacent, I'm quite convinced that this will not happen two nights in a row. I have to say, though, for the first time in almost a year and a half, I slept for hours and hours at a time.

It was such a lovely and novel thing, I rather didn't stop moving most of the day. I:

• Put up more AV of the baby 
• Sorted tax stuff. quiet_elegance has about 12-13 accumulated last year. We are never going to be able to do our own taxes.
• Put away financials from last year and sorted the box(es) for that. 
• Swept the office, bedroom, and stairs to the 1st floor and mopped the rooms
• Spent several hours with taura_g while she watched me...
• Unpack one set of book shelves
• Dust
• Move shelves to new location in office
• Reshelve with an eye to leaving QE more room for union/instruction stuff in the un-moved shelves
• Set up the baby's bed in the new empty space 
• Put away the natural result of office and art supply entropy. 

After she left

• I cooked some for the week (lamb, rice, mushroom, spinach... thing.)
• Gave the baby a bath after a failure in diaper structural integrity
• Made cookie dough
• Talked to my dad
• Ate really excellent scallops cooked by purple_terror
• Had the baby conk out snuggling me while we were watching Firefly (Trash)

Next before a bit of telly

• Clean up kitchen
• Bake some cookies
• NOT pack my lunch because I'm seeing lifecollage tomorrow (dammit)
• Go to bed early

I should sleep like that more often.

Sleep is a wonderful thing!

We were thinking about calling to check in, but didn't want to risk waking anyone.

Nod- well, if you're willing to text, that's a safe bet. I don't take the cell phone into the bedroom, as a rule, so if you ping me there I probably won't hear it if I'm asleep.

Where did you find time to talk to your Dad?
