back in the swing without a bang OR a whimper
Epiphany has come and gone (by a few days) so I took my Christmas tree down today. Then I vacuumed, spot treated a few places on our carpet (what sort of rental apartment has off-white carpet?), and hung a picture that’s been propped up against the wall for five months.
In keeping, then, with the “doing things that should have been done long ago” theme, Mr. Angst and I went out to grab a bite to eat. We’ve been here five months or so, and had only tried the restaurants south of us. We hadn’t gone north. And north lies a cute, upscale-ish, trendy-ish neighborhood. So north we went, to a pub with excellent Irish food, Stella on tap, and a regular with a beautiful golden retriever.
Mr. Angst has reading to do tonight; I’m pretty caught up on stuff (since my Comparative Law class hadn’t gotten to the reading I thought was for today, so I was actually ahead) so I’m going to kick off my shoes, read some blogs, and then (maybe) clean the kitchen. Heaven only knows when I’ll have the time to do it later.
