I am Hummingwolf, Doer of Deeds

Sunday's attempt to wear myself out with all the walking worked--I got seven hours of sleep that night! Unfortunately, I've gone back to the four to five-hour pattern now, even though I've still done a bit more walking than usual.

So what deeds have I done recently, you're asking yourself? Ah, yesterday's feat was a mighty one indeed. Brace yourselves and prepare to be awed: I defrosted and cleaned a refrigerator unassisted.

Okay, some of you are looking less than impressed out there. Don't think I can't see you. Let me remind you: I live in a co-ed house which has been tenanted mostly by college students since at least the 1970s. Think about it and marvel, okay?

Actually the fridge wasn't as bad as I've seen it in the past--only the bottom shelf had gotten truly repulsive. Still, I'm impressed by me, 'specially since I did all the work in the heat, after walking more than usual during the day, and using only one small package of M&Ms for fuel.

Today I'm gonna go to the library. No mighty feat that, but I need to be in air conditioning for a while.

In other news, several days after my paid membership ran out, I am now reduced to using only three of my icons. My animated watery one everybody likes is not one of the ones I can use. Phooey. I wish I could have chosen which three were usable, but the LJ system seems to have picked the three I've used in comments most recently. Fair enough, I suppose.

Ah well. 'Tis time to go questing for chocolate. May you all have a day full of wonders!

Once, when a friend was moving and needed help with the cleaning and packing bit, I worked on defrosting her freezer. Her freezer, btw, was pretty much one huge block of ice. I grabbed a hefty screwdriver and went to town on that ice, shouting out the names of people who had hurt me recently and in the past. It felt SO GOOD. >:)

Wishing you a day full of wonders right back - what a wonderful wish! :)

Heh. Attacking a freezer that way sounds like fun. Unfortunately with ours it wasn't possible to do that, because it wasn't possible to know where the cooling bits were and I didn't want to punch holes in them!

Not much has happened here today, but we have had a nice thunderstorm. Maybe that's wonder enough.

I am trying to ignore the fact that it is difficult to shut our freezer door at the moment, because of the ice.

BTW, I like the colour scheme you have for your journal at the moment.

Glad you like the colors! I've been thinking of changing them though, just haven't figured out what I'd change them to.
