more cleaning, more good food
Started the morning by dropping off three, maybe four old computer monitors, and two or three defunct computers at the recycling facility. Had breakfast, then home for some sitting around, and then some cleaning. Did about two hours in my grandmother's dining room, sorting, tossing, and getting grimy and sweaty. There was a glorious thunderstorm in the middle of all of that, with the kind of rain where you can barely see across the street.
After getting thoroughly dirty, got all cleaned up and went to the Hancock Center to celebrate our sixth anniversary (which was actually Sunday, but who's counting) in the restaurant on the 95th floor. We had a table by the windows. and looked out on Navy Pier and the lake. I started with a pear martini and the greatest prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella on grilled bread appetizer, then duck, which was not quite right, so I sent it back. The nice server, who I'd asked earlier to help me choose an entree, got me a brand new entree of my other choice, which was pork tenderloin in a hibiscus-dried cherry reduction. Tim had a melange of appetizers and sides -- roasted beet salad, tempura asparagus, mushroom roulade, and cheddary gratin-like potatoes. He had the cheese plate to finish the meal, and I had the cheesecake -- they wrote "Happy Sixth Anniversary" in chocolate on the rim of the plate. Cute.
I think the best part of it was feeling clean and showered and nicely dressed after two days of sweat and cleaning. Tomorrow the dumpster will be dropped off at 8am, which means a full day of seeing how much actually fits in 16 cubic yards of space.
