Y12 D24

Very busy day yesterday but not very productive work wise. I am going to have to scramble today to make up for lost time. Started working on B's car at 6:30 only to realize I didn't have the right tools to finish the job. Oh man, I just had a bad flashback. All the times my stepfather would do side work in our garage and "not have the right tools" and have to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on one specific niche tool he'd only use once. Luckily this wasn't the case for me. I didn't have any socket wrenches or sockets. Yes, I know that's a basic tool. But it's not like I do a lot of auto repair or home DIY normally. I actually did need a quasi decent socket set. I spent about $130 on something that would not only work for this project but be useful for multiple other projects around the house. Got the battery out and swapped by 7:45. Car started right up when I got the new battery in. Okay, one thing down.

Then I had to empty out all of the bottom kitchen cabinets because at 3 the pest guy was coming to do an annual maintenance spray. We've been having carpenter ants again, but it's been a year since they last sprayed and it needed it. Took care of that and pulling some furniture away from the walls. Now it's 10am and I haven't done shit.

I worked from 10 until 3 which wasn't enough time to make significant headroads on the docs I needed to get done. When the spray guy was done, B's friend had come over to hang out and we ordered pizza. Next thing you know it's 9pm. Well fuck. There goes the day. So yeah, I need to double up today and finish things.

My humidifier ran out of water halfway through the night last night. I didn't refill it because reviews all said it lasted longer than it did for me. Whatever. Now I know I have to fill it every night.

Have to wake B up at 6:30 so she can drive to OH. It's going to be another fun day. I can already tell.
