1) Finished drafting the tuxedo pants pattern. Something I was determined to do so I could get on with the real fun of construction and I succeeded, though I think my back will need a bit of a rest before layout and cutting.

2) Cleaned percolator. Inspired by Lifehacker's cleaning tips, vinegar did nothing but sanding off all the oil/stain buildup with baking soda DOES make for a tastier cuppa joe. Think I'll do this once a month or so :)

3) Got out to the library and picked up The Ladies of Grace Adieu (I didn't know Susannah Clarke wrote in Neil Gaiman's Stardust and Sandman worlds!), The Dragonriders of Pern (not sure it's my thing, my writing group may be taking the characters to Pern soon, so this is research), and The Amber Spyglass, because I enjoyed "The Subtle Knife" so thoroughly.

All this in the face of lethargy that inspired me to do little other than watch mindless tv today (and then gnash my teeth because I hadn't done anything really fun!) so I'm calling these something of an achievement. Damn, I want spring to get here!!
