Live And Learn

Famous last words: “It’s just the handle, I can fix the toilet.” Four hours later the emergency plumber has time to come to the house, two hours after that he finally leaves, and I’m stuck with a bill the size of Nebraska. Seriously. But hey…it’s better than the afternoon we spent with the water shut off at the main because someone didn’t quite understand the concept of using shutoff valves rather than outdoor faucet handles when they installed the original pipes.

Getting Back Into It

It never fails to amaze me how quickly my inboxes fill up with mail when I’m away from the computer for a day or so. My filters are such that maybe 1/8 of the mail I get is spam, which is great, but that means the vast majority of the 300+ emails I had were legitimate and needed something from me. Must remember to take the laptop with me if I’m going to be gone that long again.

Tuesday? Where Did Monday Go?

I am so sorry! I went to work yesterday morning thinking I was getting out at noon, which became five, which became midnight. By which time I was already late for a date and had to rush to get there before he left, and now here we are on Tuesday afternoon already. I’ll make this one a bit longer to make up for it. Apologies again!

This Sunday Is Not For Football

Stupid work…interfering with a lovely weekly tradition! On the other hand, having been off for so long I really am glad I’m going. I just got used to having all the time in the world to do what I want. It’s an unfortunate fact of life that my sports seasons happen to come when work picks up again.
