the past month

So the last time I wrote was over a month ago.
Not much has happened.
The plan for March was:
1) invite people to hubby's birthday/sabbatical party on 4th of April.
2) tidy up apartment for party.
3) finish my term paper.
4) bake cake for his colleagues for the going-away day.

The tidying up part was the most stressful. Simply because we are not really all that tidy. But we managed to do all the laundry and tidy up before going to Berlin.
The last day of March was the flight-of-the-bumblebee day:
1) got up.
2) he made the dough for poppyseed pastries while I got dressed.
3) he had a shower.
4) we left the house – him for work, me for my mom's house.
5) I baked the pastries and two packs of brownies at my mom's because our oven is bust.
6) I take the baked goods to his work.
7) I go back home.
8) I do more laundry.
9) I clean kitchen and bathroom.
10) I take a shower.
11) I finish packing.
12) he comes home at 2:30 and packs.
13) he makes me lunch.
14) the last load of laundry finishes at exactly 3PM.
15) we leave the house at 10 past 3.
16) we sprint through the trainstation and catch the 3:37 train to Berlin.

In Berlin we stayed at my sister's place and attended the re:publica '09.
Read my account of it here. So, we were in Berlin from the evening of 31.March to the morning of 4.April.

We got back on the 4th of April at 12:30 and 6 hours later we had people coming over for the party. We went to my mother's house to pick up the shopping my youngest sister was kind enough to have done for us two days before. Then we bought three cases of beer (60bottles of beer) and went back home.
Napped for 2 hours.
Made potato salad and frankfurters. And at exactly 7PM people started showing up. All in all it was a good party.

Today we had a dentist appointment. That went well. We were in and out in half an hour.
And now all I have to do is wait for lunch and decide what to do with the afternoon.

Oh. And because He-who-puts-up-the-shelves found this thing called the Zeitgeist-Movement we are constantly thinking about how to get electrical power to everyone for free (among other things).
That's what's been happening lately.
