Dang, Brenda! I would like that bug to bite me! I really need to clean out my closet and dresser. And, y'know, the rest of the house.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Thanks for the validation, Jesse. I'll try not to go overboard.
Wow, brenda! I'm impressed and jealous.
Sorry to hear that, Sheryl. 103 is pretty good, but still, it's always sad to lose someone.

....And it looks like there's a coup in the country where most of my work over the past 8 months has been about working with the government. So that's nice.
Oops.
I am impressed Brenda! I did a fair bit of cleaning and organizing the past few days (wanted it to be nice while my friend is staying at my place and when I get back) but not that much!

Well, I had a ton of work work to do, so obviously I had to come up with some alternative.

That is the time-honored method.

Gonna put in a couple hours on the railing. In a minute. After I cuddle the cuddly cats.

Argh, so the dog groomer blew a fuse in my house when she plugged in her dryer while running her hot water heater.
So I bought fuses at Home Depot and put them in, and... nothing. No power in most of the house (happily the fridge is still working). Now what? Call an electrician on a Saturday?

Oh, man, Consuela. I wish I had advice. Sadly, all I can think of is turning it off and turning it on again.
Got all my burnt out bulbs replaced with LED (except the office and the garage which have other challenges and besides I ran out of fresh bulbs). Still have CFLs here and there, but at least there is light of some sort pretty much everywhere. So that's something.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'd call an electrician, Consuela. I have no experience with fuses, so I can't help!
brenda inspired me, so I dusted the ceiling fans. Lotta dust. Lotta cat-hair lint. Those things gather dirt, whoa.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, Consuela. (I know that's what -t said, but she is correct!) Good luck with that. It's definitely the right kind of fuse? That's my only thought.
So, plot twist: We're going to see my father for dinner, not lunch, so I'm having lunch now. It is gorgeous out, so next is a walk, possibly with errands, but maybe not!
