Rotten

Rotten day at work. Have been hit by the annual insomnia which strikes sometimes when daylight hours change in the fall , but it always hits me in the spring. I can fall asleep easily enough but wake around 2 am wide awake. So at work I'm tired and on the verge of dozing off. Ugh! What a drag.

Last night I went to Lowes after work to make final the work order for my new doors. I also picked up all the necessary locks - all of which are tuned to the same key now. Hurrah. I should have written that hurrah all in caps but am too tired to hit the shift key. shoot me now.

Faff-to-Go

I was listening to Air America this morning and heard them mention 'Kerfluffle' in connection with the Shrub. The radio announcer incorrectly pronounced Kerfluffle but that wasn't the point for me. Kerfluffle (a fuss) is just an Anglophile words that amuses me like Faff (fuss), rabbiting (chatting aimlessly), or gas (rabbiting). I never heard the Shrub use the word and if I find out people relate it to the minging nit, then I will have to once again change this blog's title. Don't want to be mistaken for a Shrub supporter.

Hum... maybe Faff-to-go will do in a pinch.

Lower case yikes.

Sheesh. Went to Lowes and bought the following:

1 gallon interior 'granite' paint for fireplace wall.
1 pack gold sort of glitter for fireplace paint
1 quart pale yellow outdooor paint for touchups
2 eight foot wooden whatchamacalllit strips to frame fireplace area
2 mediocre paint brushes
1 shower curtain liner to replace mildewed liner

One Hundred Six Dollars!

I thought it might amount to fifty dollars, tops but I guess my brain was on standby.
