Apr. 13th, 2008 01:01 pmDrove a half-hour to a hardware big box to get a battery back-up sump pump, etc. At intersection, debated turning right and going to Store A, for no particular reason. Instead, followed original plan and turned left to Store B, which was advertising other things I needed.
There's something about hardware big boxes that just overwhelms me. I get caught up in doors and sinks and tile and where-in-hell-is-X and after a half-hour of trudging still have an empty cart. Finally found the sump pumps, but given the recent rains the selection was pretty thin, with the model rec'd by plumber nowhere to be seen. Almost bought another brand, but decided to wait. I had really wanted to get that purchase out of the way, but since I'm already looking forward to roofing and tree-trimming, decided to wait a week. Did not look for other things on list. Did buy some rugs and gutter covers, then bailed to do grocery shopping.
Came home, and searched online for the recommended sump pump. Of course, that model is not carried by Store B. It is carried by Store A, though. If I had turned right instead of left...
They also sell it online, but damned if I'm going to pay $45 for shipping.

Apr. 13th, 2008 07:58 pmThis morning, I put the firescreen, vacuum cleaners, and bowling ball out on the curb, along with the unattractive pictures and an old cardboard trunk that dated from my college days.
A few hours later, a truck stopped, and the driver claimed the firescreen and vacuum cleaners for his own.
My father's tribe is legion.

Haven't updated the word counter in a while. There have been words this past week, most of them today. A twist in the tale as a bit player said, yanno, I think I'm someone else, and I'm rather important to this story. So a name change is in order, and various conversations take on a whole new meaning. And all this will lead to some very rough moments for my protag. Like that's a late breaking news flash.
Keep a good thought for the Mickster. Should have the results of his bloodwork tomorrow, and I'm hoping things are as normal as possible, with no new issues. For that matter, keep a good thought for King as well, that he remains strong and healthy so he can continue his kingly ways.
I am tired. So why don't I go to sleep?
Why don't I...?
