*gasp* *wheeze*
I...I think I'm caught up.
As we all know, Bob, I went out of town over the weekend, calling it my early Christmas present. (Yes, I owe the clone big time regardless!) I had a LOT of fun, but of course a few things did not proceed optimally.
Despite being up in the Big City, Sears did not have any of the stoves I WANTED in stock, and I was too stubborn and annoyed to encourage them to upsell me. So although I had a fine time shopping all over the place with my pal Carol K, all I managed to gather from my shopping hunt was a vacuum cleaner.
Then my laptop, which has Issues and does not believe I am the One True Admin, decided to choke on an upgrade of ZoneAlarm, so I wasn't able to do much keeping up with LJ in the brief periods of time available for me to do so. Hence I had to read back about four days worth once I got home. I finished THAT last night.
Just before I took off last Thursday, I had to decommission the main overhead light in this end of the living room. One of the light bulbs had been Making A Noise off and on for a while, which would stop if you got up and moved the bulb and/or casing a little. This time, the nut inside wot holds the casing on gave way, and the light socket deal sort of fell out, trailing wires. Of course it did, since it was almost dark and I had to leave first thing in the morning....
On Monday I was too tired to climb up on the stepladder to see about it, and yesterday I was too busy running errands. But I finally finished it today. Light is now coming out again, as opposed to giant balls of flame or something, and it's not making that spit-spit noise. At the moment. So I count that as a win.
