Sunday morning
Nov. 5th, 2006 10:28 am...and LJ returns. What, me addicted? Nah. Didn't even notice it was...gone...
*sniff*
In other news, my DSL provider admitted in their Service Report that they did work on the system a few days ago, which explains why my internet connection keeps kicking me to the curb every few minutes. This happened the last time AT&T performed maintenance as well. IIRC, it took 3-4 days for all the chunks and lumps to clear out. I don't know what they do when they perform maintenance, but they sure do it.
Busy day yesterday, starting with an unexpected haircut at 830am. I did want the haircut--needed it badly, in fact--but when I called the place at 8am-ish, I expected to get a recording with business hours, not an actual receptionist with news that my cutter had a cancellation that morning and could I make it over at 830am? So, poured coffee down my throat did I and took off to get my hair cut. Also checked out the salon's new fitness center, and made an appointment with a trainer for next Saturday. On the way home, saw that the local quick-lube place was open and didn't have anyone waiting, so as soon as I got home, I piled into Harrison and took him in for some much needed PM. After that, home, then out again with clothes for Salvation Army drop-off, then a detour to check mail and run Kuro through the car wash. Grocery shopping, then home for the duation.
Bought a new beer, Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat, which contains "coriander and other flavors". I'm usually pretty forgiving where beer is concerned, but this was a mistake. The coriander gives the beer a weird herbal flavor that makes it clash with what I normally think of as "beer food." A hot dog, in one case. A chicken panini in another. Not a good mix at all.
In the afternoon, I raked the backyard under low clouds and wind-driven sprinkles, resulting in the collection of 10 lawnbags of leaves. Today, it's calm and sunny, and I think I will rake the front.
