Oh, Duke Energy.  Why must you vex me so?  You demand that I be present at the new place "between 8 and 4", so you can come turn on my meters in the basement.  Yet when your service person calls me this morning for my 20-minute warning, he leaves no callback number, so I cannot tell him that the basement is unlocked.  I try to call you, Duke, and ( Read more... )

Packing progress:

- 2 more boxes of stemware and other wine cabinet stuff
- 3 boxes of books
- 1 box of games (re-openable in case I need them in the next few weeks *g*)
- Finished taping up the kitchen boxes I packed yesterday
- Ran out of packing tape!  Guess that ends things for tonight.

I am super productive tonight.  I packed two and a half boxes of decor, a box of CDs & tapes, and a box of VHS.  I also gathered up my fortitude to toss many VHS tapes.  I have to keep some - they haven't come out on DVD, or their music changed significantly.  But I can be honest about whether I'll ever watch the rest again ( Read more... )

I tried to be all productive today. I did a few loads of laundry.  I sorted through my CDs and purged about half of them.  I purged another half box of books.  I hauled them all to my car to bring to Half Price Books on my way to the grocery store ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to do this big catch-up LiveJournal post but time keeps getting away from me.  Short version:

My landlady is putting my house on the market.

dtiernan and I have been talking about moving in together anyway ( Read more... )

I was just linking someone to my album of house pics and stumbled across my album of birthday party pics.  I get a little choked up looking at all the wonderful people in my life that I've just left behind.  It's hard to believe that that living room isn't still sitting there with all our stuff in it, waiting for rm_renfield and me to come back ( Read more... )

I WIN!  I win I win I win.  "Linda B" at Dish Network has given in after three go-rounds over email.  They are removing the $5/month No Phone Line fee from my account.  ::laughs of the laugh of the truly triumphant::

Whew.  I just got home after what turned out to be seven hours of consumption.  I left a little after noon to hit TJ Maxx in search ( Read more... )

More productivity today.  I walked to the bank to deposit a check, to close the joint account with rm_renfield, and to order new checks.  I then walked to the post office to mail off my rebate claim for my shiny new Moto Q, then stopped by City Hall to get a pass for the city pools (free!).  Apparently there was a rumor that they might start charging $5 for ( Read more... )

Big ol' check in the To Do list today.  I went and got my Kentucky Driver's License, Kentucky car registration, and registered to vote (you can't do it on the day of the election here like you can in Wisconsin).  The license picture came out awesome, thank you very much - my best yet.  I feel like showing to everyone ( Read more... )
