Is lukewarm tea better than no tea?

ION, today has been rather nice, in-between having to bully the youngster to do his bit to help out, that is. Woke up at the usual wake-up time, heeded nature's call and managed to get back to sleep for another two hours. Had a lovely, lazy rest of the morning hours, during which time the postal worker delivered our Christmas boxes we mailed ourselves last week. Which made Page very, very happy. And it made us happy that Page was able to take receipt of the packages while we continued lazing in bed.
Last night I proposed to Geoff that we spend one hour (timed) on cleaning today. And while I was in favor of putting it off another day because of the chaos caused by the boxes, Geoff was a good husband and insisted we continue with the plan. Which means we now have a house that is a lot cleaner (and even a little tidier) than before. Not much can really get done in an hour, but enough was done to make a positive visual difference. Seeing as all three of us were helping. Mostly. (At least Page wasn't hindering. That's something, right?)
And now the boys have gone off to find a television to watch the game on. Geoff is happily wearing his Broncos' swag (nice but old polo shirt; his new, gaudy jacket... can't remember whether he's wearing his new winter hat or not), and was even happier that I agreed to wear some, as well (his new Champ Bailey shirt). And that means I have a few hours to myself. Haven't quite figured out how I'm going to use the time, either. Fanfic, published fic, movie or nap?
Tomorrow looks to be a busy day, what with everything I haven't done in the past week plus all the social activities strewn throughout the day, but I hope to fit in a test drive while we're in that part of town doing errands. I have no idea what we'll test drive yet, but it's time to get started figuring the car thing out. I hate rushed shopping, especially on important and really expensive items, but if we test drive one or two cars a week starting now, we might have a good idea of what we want (and/or where to look) when it comes time to buy. And test driving now, while we really CANNOT buy, will give us a bit of practice dealing with car salesmen again. *blergh*
Anyway, happy weekend, all. Hope your corner of the world is being kind to you.
