Oh, wow, Zen, that is low. How do renegotiate though? "You did a great job, I don't think you charged me enough"? Call it a tip?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just make sure he can replace the screens without having to totally replace the frames;
Oh, interesting. I don't think these frames are that great, either, but it's good to know what variables to think about.

Sara, did your folks remember your birthday? hope it was excellent.
Sox, happy birthday!
I forgot to bring scissors and I forgot to cut the papers I needed. Damn.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I told him, you're underselling yourself; how about twice that? He was like, uh... sure? He probably thinks I'm crazy.

Zen, you can always hire him to do more things, now that you've encouraged him to charge more.

Oh, I have a list of things I want to hire him to do. If he gets this job done. Which, so far so good; he doesn't seem baffled by the workings of a screen door, unlike the previous handyman.

Happy belated, sarameg!
Happy birthday, Sox!
In other news, I have scheduled an appointment for someone to come look at my crap and tell me how much it'll cost to move it with a corporate discount. I remembered to cancel my monthly transit pass before it reloaded for August. I'm going to take another load of stuff for donation on Saturday.

and the new door doesn't fit any better than old one did. ahahhaha
I knew it. Whatever. Just nail it in there. I don't even expect to be able to actually slide open the sliding door, I just want the cat kept in and the bugs kept out.
A curse upon the idiot guy who destroyed the original, perfectly working door. Nah, never mind, he's an idiot, there's nothing worse I can curse him with.

Happy birthdays, Sox & sara!!!
In case anyone was worried, the Professor is back to her old self! She just came up on the kitchen bar to say hi and jumped off the counter when I said "uh uh." Her brother will only leave the counter if I toss him off it or, sometimes, if I flick water on him. Then he gets right back up.
I can't believe it's almost 1. What did I do all morning??

Yay, Professor, way to bounce back!
