I realized this morning that I’ve once again let two weeks slip by without posting anything here. That being the case, I’m posting something here, but it’s going to be short. There just hasn’t been much going on.
It’s been unbelievably hot in metro Atlanta for the last two weeks (thermometer in the car hit 101 yesterday afternoon while I was diving home), and sleeping has been fitful at best. A couple of days ago, I bit the bullet and cranked the A/C down to 73 for one night. It probably cost me $800 for one night of relatively comfortable sleeping, but it had to be done.
I forgot to mention in my last entry that I got the living room, foyer, stairway and upstairs landing painted a few weeks ago. A guitar-player friend of mine paints on the side, so I hired him to come do what I can’t – namely, paint walls without getting paint all over the floors, ceilings, cats, my car, and the neighbor kids. Don’t know that I’m all that thrilled with the colors (pebblestone mostly, with 2 darker accent walls); but I’m really not a visual person, so I don’t know. I know that the walls don’t look as crappy as they did before being painted.
Chris (yup, she’s still around) is talking about moving again – either this year or next – which is traumatic but not unexpected. I covered all the roller-coastery stuff when she was thinking about it last winter, so I’m not going to write it all down here again.
I got a new battery for my robotic vaccuum cleaner yesterday, which was nice. The old battery had stopped holding a charge about a month ago, and – though I borrowed Jenny’s vaccuum cleaner while she was on vacation – my carpets were getting grungy. This morning, after letting the Roomba run around for several hours last night, everything’s shiny and clean again.
Except the dirty dishes, which I need to wash today.
Told y’all it was going to be short. That’s it for now!
