la_samtyr | Yesterday... and Today

Yesterday I went to Hastings for a haircut and errands. The haircut was easy -- I have it pretty short already and it just started bulking out in the last week or so. So, get rid of the bulk, trim and I should be good until the fall. I got a few things at Menards, Radio Shack and the Evil Empire -- just "stuff", all of the little oods and ends that are always needed. I didn't get groceries though -- too much road work going on right in front of my usual store and in any case, I didn't really need anything special. So I got home, unloaded and wired a couple of bungee cords so the top freezer door doesn't keep popping open. It always seems to do it for some reason, and I can't justify an entirely new fridge just for that.

Then My Cousin Donna(tm) called last night and she yakked for way too long. She was doing ok though, and I was rather enjoying talking to her -- right up until she started saying how she was thinking of joining Scientology because "people like John Travolta and Tom Cruise are Scientologists, so it must be cool." >>.<< No, just... no. But that is a rant for another day.

Today it was nice and cool because the humidity wasn't quite so bad, so I did laundry and picked up a little bit. I need to get someone else to do some more mowing etc. so that I can get rid of these big freakin' weeds that have sprung up all over the yard. Yuck. Plus I picked two ticks off of my arms already and now I think I feel more of them crawling all over my skin. Ewwww, just Ewwwww! I hate ticks w/a passion!!

Back later on.
