When we had out home inspected, the electrical passed with no problem. I assume because they stick something in the outlets and if there is current, great. But when plugging in actual plugs, the piece that holds the plug is so loose - in almost every outlet in the house - that the outlets don't work. Or to make them work, you have to have the plug 3/4s out of the outlet. Safe, no? I can't wait to fix that, but I am waiting to see if I get to stay in the house first.

Happy birthday Pix and MFN!!

Yay, sj on offer acceptance!

I am still sick. After taking Friday off work, I was feeling better yesterday. And, then I cleaned the house, did 3 loads of laundry, and ran errands. I think I overdid it because I feel icky again today.

But, in my defense, I really had to do all those things this weekend because tomorrow, the elevator in my building will be closed down for 2 weeks. WEEKS. And I live on the 5th floor. No way in hell I'm gonna tote laundry up and down 5 flights of stairs.

So, today will be a day of laying around and trying to knock this crud out of me.

Yay, sj! May the rest of the process go smoothly.

I've...washed, scalded, and refilled the water bottles and put them in the fridge, and refilled the filter pitcher. Put away the clean dishes. Picked up the trash in the living room and straightened the throws, chair cover, and cushions. Made the bed. I'm eyeing the pile of clean laundry that needs put away, and the clothes over the backs of two chairs that should be hung up, and ribbon bookmarks to glue into the spines of a few gift books. I was going to brasso the thicket of brass candlesticks, and take teapot pictures. My closet's a tip, again. Always. And I have ESL chapters to beta. Or, I could nap.

Happy birthdays, Pix and MFN!

That really doesn't sound safe. Maybe plug in surge protecter strips and plug your appliances into those? The possibility of electrical fire scares the fuck outta me.

I made cookies, and started a load of laundry (currently in the dryer). That will probably be it for the day, unless I can get up the energy to either clean up the kitchen or take a walk. One or the other may happen; I wouldn't bet on both.

I also have choir rehearsal from 4-6 this afternoon and then my book club meeting (hence the cookies). I cannot guarantee I won't fall asleep during one or the other.

(Yeah, a bunch of us looked for the flying pigs outside of our windows. Didn't believe this will pass).

I'm still rewatching ST:tNG. I've just started the 3rd season. The writing on this show is SO BAD. There's a big improvement in quality over the course of the second season, but the writing is still *TERRIBLE*.

The Enterprise is in the middle of a major crisis situation, systems are failing around the ship, and a nearby binary star system is about to explode, so Pickard....

CALLS A STAFF MEETING! YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT ANYTHING! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

Okay, I'm better. Just call me Non-sequitur Man.

I'm so tired, but I have to do this week's slipshod housecleaning. Instead I'm having coffee. Decaf.

Clearly their current crisis involves a skill check, and Picard just played an Investigative Committee.
