Crap. I was supposed to do laundry today. Yeah, that's not going to happen. Maybe I'll do a load tomorrow after work.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Egad, I have tv envy. I haven't had tv envy in forever, not because I have a nice tv or anything (ours is a dinosaur). But now I want a new one. TV however will have to wait until after the new oven, the much-hoped-for dishwasher, and the bunk beds.
Homeownership is one big money sink.

I just went nutty. In my head, flat-screen TVs were a grand, so I would never get one, but this one was less than half that. And my old TV sometimes wouldn't turn on. It worked fine when it was on, but still.
Tom, should I not bother trying to sell it, do you think?

Also, my oven door doesn't close all the way and I have no dishwasher.

My oven doesn't work, period (we use the convection/microwave instead). Oh wait, you've never seen my kitchen. If you did, you'd understand. It is deeply in need of a remodel. My mom wanted to get it remodeled when they first moved in 40+ years ago. She never got her wish. I feel it is my daughterly duty to see it through.

Oh dear. That does sound extreme and higher-priority than a TV.

Despite getting off to a migraine-y bad start, this weekend seems to be shaping up. Today I cleaned the worst horrors off my kitchen floor, did grocery shopping, washed dishes, and ended my own six-week dry spell at the same time that the weather did likewise.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dean's projected path now completely excludes Texas. I'm selfishly grateful (and still wary). I hope Jamaica makes it through okay.

I bought my tv fromm a rental place 9 years ago for $40. It had an episode of psycho turning on, and then the time the contrast just came on wrong, but it seems to have gotten over itself. So I'll wait a little longer. And get snitty about how expensive tvs are when really, the problem is I'm cheap.
I have grocery shopped, baked 5+ dozen cookies and cleaned. Once again I timed it so I would be starving and waiting for the floor to dry. And have no idea what I want for dinner.
Oh well.

My oven door is too light - the ignition of the flame sends it shooting open. Hard enough that it slams back closed, fortunately, so the only issue is not jumping out of your skin.
Flat screens, it turns out, are not that much more expensive than decent regular ones, so when I got a new tv last year it seemed more than worth it for the extra space and flexibility. Not plasmas, mind. Those are still in lottery territory for me.
Squee! Can't wait for my new washer/dryer, also centrally located right between the bedrooms and the kitchen.
