Oh no! I'm sorry I broke you toilet.....wait, that was years ago! Is it doing the same scary neverending flushing? Somehow, no toilet with a kid in residence is even worse.

I'm glad Plei was able to give you advice!

I spent today spending money. BUT! I now have a backup drive that I'm actually using, a usb hub so I can get some of these wires under control and have connected my old computer to the new and transferred stuff. I didn't do a whole migration, since some stuff I don't care about. But got my old apps and docs and everything and got that computer off my table. To sitting on a box in the corner. But it is a start! I'm waiting to hear from the brother whether he'd prefer to wipe it himself since he has more recent OSes.

happy birthday Kat!

On one of those documentary series about how things are made, they visited the Kohler factory. I hadn't known that most toilets are made out of ceramic, which means they have to be cast and fired and glazed, so they have these IMMENSE kilns to do that.

And then to see if they were molded correctly, one of the workers goes down the line of freshly-fired toilet bodies and taps them each with a tiny hammer. If they ring like a bell, they're sound.

Ooh! I've been to that factory and the attached museum - they have some really crazy stuff there. Also some stuff that makes me want to have bags and bags of money.

Totally apropos of nothing, the two girl dogs (each 50+lbs) are playing a game of tug-of-war/keep away/I'ma chase you all over the house gimme the toy now with a lavender Wubba.

It is easily one of the cutest, most hysterical things I've ever seen.

Or it could just be I'm wicked tired that's making this so funny.

Enh, I don't mind the having to buy a toilet thing. - was even planning for it. - just wish it was not right now. We just bought a new brace, had to out of pocket the medical insurance deductible for therapy, just paid off Spring Break and have half of a summer rental to cover in the next month. I guess it is always something.

I guess it is always something.

grr it really is. Sorry you can't get the stuff you wanted to get done when you wanted to get it done.

Happy Birthday, Kat!!!

Really, truly. This year has felt like always something. Even when I planned stuff, the schedule got totally whacked.

Today's celebrity sighting was Keifer Sutherland at the grocery store.

And then we waited at the same light to cross the street. And then he hit the crosswalk button after I did, because obviously, I did it wrong, and only Jack Bauer can make the crosswalk light turn.

ETA: And then he crossed against the light.

WHO ARE YOU JAYWALKING FOR?

He can't wait for the light, Allyson! He's only got 24 hours to save the world.

Today, Owen said, "I'm not sitting on the pucking naughty chair" and "this is stupid, goddamn it." Oof.
