m_of_disguiseSaturday morning, M declared that it should be a cleaning weekend, and promptly got busy vacuuming every surface he came across. I wasn't going to try and stop him! I did my part by washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, and then we both tackled the cluttered surfaces that had just accumulated too much stuff we weren't ever going to use, culling the detritus, and dusting everything afterward.
He left afterward to go and sell some old game systems he had, so I picked up some McDonald's for my own dinner and watched YouTube the rest of the evening.
Sunday was more cleaning - putting away the clean/dry dishes, scrubbing the cat closet, and ironing some of the clothes pile. I made a giant pot of spaghetti sauce for dinner while M did a grocery run for a few essentials. We ended the evening with a few episodes of Better Call Saul and I ironed a dress for work, and then it was lights out.
I finally found an affordable copy of Patterns of Fashion 3 on AbeBooks, so I ordered that as a belated birthday gift for myself.
We also finished setting up the Baby Registry, finally. His family has been asking for it for a while, but we were clueless as to what all we needed, so it took a while to round up everything. They pounced on it pretty quick, and we had about five packages on the doorstep this morning because Amazon is stupid fast these days.
M had an epiphany about his money anxiety, and he thinks it stems from all of his friends being objectively rich and complaining constantly that they don't have enough money to survive on, and him worrying "well, if they can't make it with $150k salaries, how the hell are we going to make it?" He has taken a step back, realized they are all living way above their means, or in extremely high cost of living areas, and that we do neither of those things and that we are absolutely fine. Will this realization last? Who knows! But I'm glad that he recognized it, anyway.
Having absolutely insane thoughts about trying to make a German loose kirtle and loose gown in time for Baronial College on the 23rd. It's a bad idea to attempt it in so short a time, but I really want to try!
