Spent most of yesterday at the house as I had the day off for repairs.
The AC guy and electrician were to be there around 9 and only the AC guy showed. :-/ I was hoping to set up my bookshelves but as they'll be in front of an outlet I wanted to wait until anything that might need to be done to that outlet be done. Never heard from the electrician so I called and apparently their child tore his knee and was getting an MRI. That sucks, but seriously, a phone call might be nice! Said they'd get out there "sometime" that day.
After the AC man left, completing everything on our inspector's report (Del's AC Service, nice man, thorough), I puttered a bit more, went to the apartment and loaded up our saucer chairs, went back to the house, made a sandwich, and decided to take a bath! (When running bath water, some water is diverted up to the shower. Weird; can't wait for plumber to come, even if he does seem like a flake (we're running out of time)). Electrician company called while I was in the tub and we've rescheduled for Friday.
Well, having the rest of the afternoon free and being unable to put up my shelves (jerks), I went to the apartment and did some laundry. F-u-n.
Decided that b.f. and I have to go on a "diet." I hate that word; so restrictive. We got some fish, some ground beef, and some chicken. As i've been craving indian food, we went to world market for some indian simmer sauces (couldn't find any at my h-e-b). Also got more veggies. I know the fitness part will be easier once we move. Nightly walks around the neighborhood, hopefully sleeping better so can do yoga in the mornings.
In the latest issue of House Beautiful there's an article called "Green Living, Talk Me Down" and one of the women writing it "takes the hard line." She comes across as such an over-reactive bitch. (Note: I don't believe in Global Warming. Or at least to the extent the media, democrats, and celebrities do.) Regarding someone who likes the heater to make the house nice and toasty "My first response is that you can either put on a sweater now, or freeze in the dark when we run out of fossil fuels." Wow. Regarding the ugly light that comes from CFLs (it is ugly. Very sterile.) and not wanting to change all incandescents, "You have to." Really? You're going to come over here and swap them for me? Ugh.
