Perhaps I will accomplish something useful today like opening the box and figuring out how to use my new USB turntable to digitize my old LPs.  I'm not really tech savvy.  The whole idea just kind of scares me.

Well, Zach has been patient with me up until now, but I think he thinks it's time we found a patch of grass outside.

Have a great day, Amy!   :)

Oh, coffee girl=the girl who started out as a barista and is now managing the shop. She's a sweet girl, kind of a noveau hippie and very nice. Her boyfriend is similar but of the age where he knows "everything". My DH tried not to laugh when he dissed our green egg  smoker ("people think those are healthy but they're not") and wanted us to take our microwave with us because they're not healthy, all the while smoking cigarettes!

We realized that we'd better put up several smoke detectors, too. I'm glad we won't be returning to this house because I'n very allergic to smoke.

Her furniture doesn't smell smoky, though...maybe they only smoke outside.

You might tell him that roaches and fleas aren't healthy, either...

Well, I haven't seen or felt any fleas yet...

I should ask my cat who is so allergic to them!

Next week at this time the movers will be arriving!

And I had another bout with Comcast yesterday---I called to ask them how much it would cost in deposits to have no interrupted service. I got a recorded message that I had an appointment for yesterday, one which I didn't make! (They have done this before, scheduled service calls when I've called about other matters, and then left notes that I've missed my appointment!)

I finally got a live person, who said "Oh yes, you made an appointment to have your service discontinued this morning."

Wha????

It turned out that the new tentant had discontinued her service at her old house yesterday and they were confused and thought they were turning it off at my house!

Bur also, true to form, the appointment to do this was from 11-2 and I was calling at 6 and they were able to fix it because they never showed up for their appointment.

So they acted like they were doing me a big favor for me to have cable another week when they didn't even do anything. I raised hell, something I rarely do, and now they are going to discontinue service at the old house on the 10th and start it at the new house on the 8th. Which is what I asked for in the first place, several days ago, but they swore they couldn't do without it costing me hundreds of dollars in deposits. Oy!

I'm glad I finally got someone who actually seemed to have a brain! I hope...

Have a good day and nice walkies!

Inspired by comments from François, I watched a bit of HALF A SIXPENCE when I got home.

My, that Grover Dale is a dream to watch. What a dancer!

Oh yes, working working, but that kind of work is fine to me!

Last night we assembled a tall bathroom storage tower we bought at IKEA. It looked fine in the store, but when we put it in the bathroom, which is small but with no storage space, it looked huge!

Unfortunately, we decided to stand it up in there in mid-assembly, but AFTER we had nailed on the back. So although they have a good return policy apparently (it's my first purchase there) I wonder if they will take something with nail holes???
You can always get all holy roller on them, and demand that if they can accept a savior with nail holes they should surely accept a bathroom storage tower with a few.

Irreverent enough for ya?   ;D
