Random stuff

[fancytalk]

So I think I need to buy the dog a set of rain boots because walking around this apartment complex is like trudging through the swamp. His poor little paws soak up so much water.

What is the point of having a garbage disposal that will only grind soft things like carrots?

And what is the point of having a dishwasher if you have to prewash all the dishes before you put them in? Not just scraping off the bits and scraps of food, but literally rinsing them clean of anything that could make the water dirty.

Which goes back to the garbage disposal thing because you can't scrape the bits and scraps of food into it unless it's soft stuff like carrots. And no, it was never clarified whether the carrots could be raw or had to be cooked.

Why are the temporary housing people so incompetent? And why don't they communicate with each other? And if my internet is not working, why do you send me an email asking me to leave the modem for someone to pick up?

Also, why don't you tell the guy who is set to pick up the modem that he doesn't have to pick it up any longer. And why wait 5 hours to call me after I've left you the "this is unacceptable" message? Espcially when I already know that the cable issue is fixed because I fixed it.

And my lights are flickering and I've just realized that I don't have any candles to light if the power goes out.

Luckily I have my dog walking flashlight to use.

And I'm hungry. I want McDonalds. I never want McDonalds. But right now I do.

And I'm going to turn off the computer for a while since the lights keep flickering.

I heard about the power outages yesterday afternoon. They were reporting here that 2/3 of the area was without elecctricity. I wondered if that had affected you, too! I'm glad your power is back on... they were saying that the energy company was predicting several days worth of restoration efforts.

By the lack of people on the road this morning, I'm betting that there are still a lot of outtages. When the power came back on last night, Ronette and I probably would have gotten out of bed, cheered and turned on all the lights because we could. However, the bottle of wine we drank to keep warm prevented that. We're guessing that because we're so close to Microsoft campus that we were in one of the power grids that was fixed first.
