I have managed to do in one day more than I feel like I've done in a week. Up at 9 this morning and in the car by 10, I managed to hit the bank, Bed Bath & Beyond (I went in there for 2 things, I left with $50 worth of stuff *sigh*), CVS and the grocery store and was back here by 12:30. Since 1, I've made bolognese sauce from scratch (ground up beef, ground up Italian sausage, veal and bacon = my apartment smells FANTASTIC) and hot cakes (oh. my. god) and I'm almost done cleaning the apartment.
The parents are set to get here between 5 and 5:30 and so I have that much time left to finish cleaning and to make myself presentable.
It's stupid but I feel amazing after accomplishing all of that. Also, I took the cutest picture - ever - of myself in the midst of cooking (I was taking pictures of the various stages because I'm a dork; and I either always look like a trucker or like a street urchin depending upon the hat I'm using at the time to keep my hair out of the food. Maybe one day I will steampunk myself out while I cook):
