Vacation: Day 5
I have a new garage door! Pretty garage door!
*ahem*
Watching the demolition of the old door, track, etc was cool. Thankfully the guys doing the work weren't bothered by my watching - actually they laughed at me a bit as I was so obviously enthralled watching it all come down. Then the phone rang and I was cold so I went back inside, told the FOP that no, I didn't want to donate to them right now thank you very much, played some sudoku and then went back out to the garage to see the progress and had a new door. Did I mention that it is pretty? The gray matches the siding almost exactly.
Today I also:
- cleaned the kitchen and living room (before the garage door)
- ran the dishwasher (also before the garage door)
- talked to my parents (after)
- took myself out to eat at the local Mexican joint (after)
At the resturant I spoke my very limited Spanish with my waitress who was thrilled that I was trying and helped me with the words/phrases I didn't understand. This is why I like Margaritas - they let me practice and don't get snippy when I get stuck. Plus the food and the serivce are great.
In less happy news (thus the bipolar icon) today is the mid-point of my vacation. Only 5 days left before I have to go back to work. And tomorrow is the A/C guy between 8 and noon, meaning I have to get my butt out of bed early.
In the meantime I'm going to enjoy this as much as possible! Later.
