what the hell

MnotIA

Yeah, I kind of vanished there. I got annoyed by the hot water heater issue, couldn’t get it solved, got stuck on EVERYTHING because of that one thing, and now here we are, with a book edit due tomorrow and the roomie coming home Tuesday, and everything is half-done or not even begun. Blargh. So […]

Today the Oops

Today the Oops

List-tackling today did not go well. As my friend Debbie pointed out, growing a list too much makes it overwhelming. Also, the things I was trying hardest to do today–drain and flush the water heater, and fix the hole in the wall–did not really want to be done. I hurt my arm trying to make

While the Cat’s Away…

While the Cat's Away...

Well, technically the cat is here, her handmaiden is away. But whatever. The roomie is out of town. It doesn’t happen often, that she leaves and I don’t. Last time, I don’t think I did much except what I always do–keep the house running. Which isn’t really fair–when I go out of town, the roomie

She added that the deficit spending was out of control, and said she thought it was
