Power and plans
Dec. 15th, 2006 05:10 pmWednesday I took a mental health day and proceeded to need it. I took the last of my comic boxes and a few other things down to my storage area, and found out it was them or my big green chair. Fine, take the chair, leave the boxen, head to IKEA for Mom's present and then Home Depot for bathroom fixtures for the weekend. I wandered around HD, realized I hadn't the measurements I needed, and then headed home. Brief stop at RePC to recycle an old PC and my old TV (both still working, but these days all I need is my Mac)
I got home and basically had a meltdown. I was all a-frenzied to get everything bought for the bathroom and send out Christmas presents and cards and my place was a tiny little pit... yeah, meltdown. I called my Mommy and she made it better. I talked to Dru too, and Dad and they had more practical advice once I was in a better frame of mind.
So Thursday after work, Dru came and got me from work, and we braved the rain to run up to the Home Despot on Aurora and bought everything floor to ceiling to redo my bathroom. (Minus the tub. I'm not dealing wiht that monster.) I also skipped on the ceiling fan because I need to peer at it some more and figure out what it's doing. Coming home at nearly nine, there was already a lot of wind and flooding, and my power was doing a bit of flickering. (Love my UPS. Love it.) Dru made it home in time to raid, but his DSL was out. His power followed by 10. I made the raid with one hiccup, and my power didn't go out until after midnight. I woke up this morning and everything was still dark.
Dad's still headed in though, should be landing soon, and the Seattle City Light page *says* my power's back at home, so here's hoping the renovation project is still doable. It would kind of suck to have Dad come early only to sit around in the dark with me :(
