But the dogs thank you.

Edit: And I got two cat claws trimmed!

Otter Lake sounds like a magical place (and not in a Tahiti kind of way).

Good one.

I picked up some non-caustic sounding drain opener stuff that promises an empty tub in an hour. We shall see. If it works I may start buying it by the case (it's also a preventative for slow drains which has been a chronic problem since, well, the home inspection before we bought to be honest)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Tried smoking two tiny hits of the Indica sleep-making pot last night and IT PUT ME TO MOTHER-EFFING SLEEP. This newfangled weed is so dang strong! I don't want to use it every night, but it is great to have it in reserve. Today we went to head shop and bought a cheapie bong. Head shops are pretty much the same as they were the last time I was in one, 20 years ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Niiiice.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I still haven't done anything that needs doing but I did walk to the neighborhood music shop to get a reed for my recently acquired oboe and hit the used book store next door.

Oboe reeds and used books- that is some high quality errand running.

Tub is still not drained but I think the water level has receded.

Given you still have some power but not to major appliances, my money is on Aurelia's guess about the leg (I think BGE referred to it as being out of phase when it happened to my neighbor. )You might put a call into your power co. It won't cost you anything and often they'll give a diagnosis, though not a fix, for anything power related. Electricity can be dangerous, I guess....

Helped (meaning brought a spray can trigger and talked to people) decorate a toilet on wheels this afternoon.

So much grinding to do tomorrow.

Well that was handy. The blood-curling shrieks that seem to be the sole form of communication my new neighbor's toddler uses woke me up from a nap at just the right time to go get takeout for dinner.

Pretty little meringues!
