Got the stocking-up shopping done. Managed to restrain myself in Costco. One thing I've been meaning to do forever that is now highly cromulent is the Spreadsheet Of Prices. Very shortly per unit price is going to be as great or greater consideration than total price. I was staring at cheese today wondering if I should have waited to get it at ( Read more... )

Five free days left. Last time I was employed by a UC, I was paid monthly, so I need to figure out what of the OMG I CAN BUY THINGS list I need in the next month and what I should put off until after payday ( Read more... )

DMV done. Shockingly easy, and also weirdly fast. If I had thought to get a smog check beforehand, I would have been in and out in about an hour. As it is, about four hours after leaving home, after having gotten gas and a smog check in addition to all the DMV stuff, I am home with license plates. Now I have to figure out what to do without a ( Read more... )

I drove. I am having an out of spoons error because after I drove, I discovered Ty had stress incontinence on the bed while I was gone. He was budged up against my pillow where I fold the covers over, so it went all the way down to the memory foam topper ( Read more... )

I start April 3.

I suspected it was the latest update of Adaware that continues to fuck up my computer after all the updates were installed. It won't uninstall. When I try, the computer BSOD's. I also apparently can't install the updates for Microsoft Security Essentials.

C'mon, Publisher's Clearinghouse. Show up with a big check (both physical and monetary).

I need cat litter and cat food (it is non-emergent, this is stocking up so I can leave them extra while I am gone this weekend). I should go to the car wash even though given how cloudy it is I'm dubious they're open. And anyway I have to figure out how to get my radio antenna retracted first (the motor is broken ( Read more... )

Managed to clean out the car yesterday. Less trash and "things that should have come in when I moved in" than I expected, an entire 13 gal trash bag of "things that ought to be in the car" (i.e. emergency spare blanket and jacket, chains, safety hammer). So that was a nice surprise. Entirely failed to go to the car wash today. Hopefully it won' ( Read more... )
