Ice Dancing and Mini-Disaster

days_unfoldingBella is eating the food that she previously refused to eat out of the bag. Okaaaay. And now it’s the time for the evening dog wrestling.
Overslept an hour. Sigh. I went to bed early! Both Bella and Gracie don’t want to come inside. I need to get to work soon! I got Bella inside by grabbing her collar. Then the grocery delivery guy came with Gracie still outside, so I took the groceries over the gate. Gracie is still outside. I was late to work. Chaotic morning. Gracie finally came in about two hours after I let her out. Sheesh.
My presentation at work went okay, not great. But it's done. I'm starting to come out of crazy busy mode, although I was crazy busy today.
I got my act together to go to piano class today. It went okay. I really need to practice more often. Oliver burst in when I came in Zara's room/music room/library-to-be. He walked on my digital piano several times and was nosing around the room. I ducked out fast after class to leave Oliver in there because I wanted him behind a closed door when I brought the dogs in and took the recycling out. I'm looking at used Chromebooks to use in the music room because my mom's laptop is running Windows 10, and I'm getting tired of getting nastygrams from Microsoft. I found a few possibilities in the area.
I watched the three ice dancing pairs that won medals. I was rooting for Chock and Bates, but the French skaters were awesome. They deserved the gold medal. All three pairs were great. I fed Lily because I wanted to feed her when the dogs were outside and Oliver was shut away.
Gracie didn't want to come in, so I worked on getting the big bags of dog and cat food inside because it's going to rain tomorrow. I had just brought the bag of cat food inside when the bottom of it broke. 25 pounds of dry cat food in my front hall. Crappity crap. I scooped up some of it in a plastic container. Then I tried to bring Gracie in, who wanted to come in, but wouldn't walk on the food. So I used a snow shovel to pick up more and push the remaining food to one side. Gracie came in this time.
I fed the dogs and myself. Then I brought the recycling out and rolled it to the curb. I put plastic drop cloths over the boxes with my garage shelves and workbench that are too heavy to drag over to the garage. (I need to open the boxes and carry the pieces to the garage.) Then I grabbed some clothes to hand wash (currently soaking) and let Oliver out. Fed him and Zara. Whew. (I should have time tomorrow to work on clearing the bathroom to fix the washer.)
I want to put my clothes in the dryer and go to sleep soon so that I won't oversleep tomorrow morning. I hope. Oh, and I need to submit an order to buy more of a stock that's doing well. How exciting!
