Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Pretty sweet.

Go, Steph!

So I found the breaker box: it's on the outside of the house, next to the meter. And I flipped the switch, and nothing happened. No lights. Flipped the master switch, then all the other switches, then the original one. Back and forth.

Nothing.

Time for a professional. Which I won't get until Tuesday at the earliest. Argh.

At least I have a working microwave: I brought in an industrial-strength extension cable from the garage. The only real inconvenience is having no light in the bathroom or kitchen, and the oven won't work because it's an electric ignition to light the oven. I can light the stove with a lighter fine.

Well, glad you found it and didn't have to crawl under the house. Sorry it didn't help.

Well, I went for a run which was not great and then I moved the latch on the gate so I can open and close it again. After seeing how far I had to adjust it, I think I am going to blame the earthquake after all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Progress!

- vacuum (including upstairs)

- dishes + other kitchen
- work -- reviews + other
- beach
- long walk
- groceries

I guess I'd better go get a pedicure!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I need to make a list like Jesse.

Already done:

vacuum my bedroom - me
vacuum hall - mac
clear mudroom - me
sweep mudroom - mac
scrub extra dirty parts of mudroom - me
clean mudroom rug - me
wash dog bed - me
sweep kitchen - me (may need to be done again)

Need to do:

vacuum living rooms
mop kitchen
clean my bathroom
do a load of laundry
vacuum mac's room
measure some clothes
go through some papers - clear off at least one side table
clean off dresser
wash car
vacuum car

That is more than a good start of what is needed.

If I can get these stupid reviews written today, I will be in good shape. In a job where there is nothing numeric, and raises have already been given out, I wish we could just have the conversation without all the paperwork!

I keep adding things to my to do list and not getting the things that are already on it done. Pretty sure this is not the best way forward.

On the plus side, I have figured out that I can make meringue out of the egg whites that it was bothering me would be leftover from making lemon custard, and use that to top the custards for little bitty lemon meringue pies. So of course doing all that has gone on the list to be done.
