Falling Into Friday

Well, okay ... nobody's really falling, although Chango did just rush outside in order to give chase to a squirrel on the fence.

Sunny and very pleasant outside. 79 degrees right now, with a high expected in the mid-80s. Sinuses hurt. Also have to call the plumber, as the toilet in the master bath has gone on strike. And other stuff to do. Oh, joy.

Plumbers Ahoy!

Heh, since apparently it is Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Called plumber service this morning, scheduled a visit for between 3 and 5 today. Phone rings at 1:50. Guys got done earlier than expected, can they come by now? Um ... sure?

Ten minutes later the front doorbell rings. Hi there, we're Joel and Derek, your friendly plumbers! Hee. Joel was built something like a fireplug and was the "mechanic." (That's what it says on the bill.) Derek was taller and had that whole earnest-puppy thing working for him. They turned off our water, fixed the toilet, and presented me with a bill for $159. Which I paid happily (well, sort of), considering I had been afraid the total would be three hundred something.

So. And now I get to have lunch, and then run errands. They keep getting pushed back ...
