Y10 D217

So um, the weirdest thing happened sometime between 11 and 7 - it snowed. That may not sound weird to any of you, but yesterday was one of the nicest days I have seen here since moving. Like it was nicer here than it was in OR. It was in the 60s and clear. Sunglasses needed most of the day. So to wake up to snow is odd to say the least. I was actually looking it up and the amount of snow this particular area gets is below what even OR gets. Honestly even what's out there right now is only on the grass and trees. Nothing is sticking to the driveway or the road. Just wasn't expecting it.

Did some more work yesterday. Then we had an adventure - the mirror we bought for the bathroom had a scratch on one of the mirrors. Had to dismount it, exchange it, remount it. Fun times. Also, the garbage disposal got something stuck in it and I had to disassemble it, get the rock out, and reassemble. Lots of fun there.

My new laptop arrived. I fucking hate windows. The machine is fast and cool looking and fast BUT I spent two hours on it last night and all I accomplished was upgrading it to windows pro, doing updates, and uninstalling all the bloatware bullshit that comes with windows. Two hours. I still have a list of real things I need to get done. But I also have to go to IKEA today as we ordered two more bookcases. Something tells me this is going to be a busy damn day. 

We went to Chilis for dinner since I promised B we would go. Oddly enough, there are no chilis in OR. I looked it up once and there used to be but due to something or other they all closed. She has been missing them so we went. It was okay.

Cleaned the house yesterday too. We did the floors, counters, etc.

OH! I also forgot, I replaced the light fixture in the bathroom yesterday. These fucking people who owned this place. They cut the hole for the light in the wrong fucking place and mounted the fixture six inches to the right of the hole, stuck cardboard over the wires and used the light base to hide their mistake. Now I have to drywall patch the hole, drill a new hole for the wires, and make it look good. Fucking DIY people. I know that sounds counterintuitive to what I just said I have to do, but I know my limits. Like I can hang a light fixture, but I can't mount a new light box somewhere. Get the difference? I can hang a medicine cabinet, but I know I am not capable of flush mounting one. Shit like that. Know your limits people. Thank god we hadn't painted that bathroom yet.

So a lot yesterday, more today. I must have been snoring bad because B is in the guest room. Grateful we have one that's for sure. I think it's the weather. But who knows. 

Off to IKEA. Whee.
