Go you, Kat! Conquer the tech!
 
Go you, sarameg! You are making seious progress.
 
I just got back from Lowe`s, where I picked up two more eight foot sections of furring, which I have cut to size. Now I have everything I need to finish. But that`s twice what I`ve done so far, so it may take a bit more effort than I`m willing to expend. We shall see.
 
I also looked at the pipe, which tells me I should be able to build both birdfeeder stands for about $25. Then there`s the material for whatever actual feeders I want to build. I need to go back to haunting the thrift shops for old colanders.

My serious progress is making fine motor skills wonky. Yeowch. And I fucked up my pedicure. Luckily, have some polish that can fake it. I was so careful, and then got the splinter, which in my recoil I stepped in crap and mussed it up.

Owie. I hate splinters.
 
Six of twelve. Eleven. I had some mismeasurement, so I am back down. Rest, then cut, then back up.

My dinner tonight: Pepperoni Pizza Lean pocket, and a large glass of rather nice white wine.

I am going to sleep in my bed for the first time since the run-awaying. fingers crossed he stays asleep all night.

I watched some adult tv tonight. excuse me while I go pass out from the shock of it all. or better yet, I will go read my library book in my bed. My own bed, which is not a single bed, in my own room. I am very fancy.

sara, only 20 more to go then? AWESOME.

I like Cody's sweater. Such a cute pooch.

msbelle, enjoy your sleeping alone!

We just got back from the aquarium. Our membership expires tomorrow (which makes me super sad, but during the school year things can be more complicated) so we went to the late night at the aquarium. It was a clusterfuck of stupid.

My kids enjoyed it though: [link]

Whew! Finished. Twelve of twelve. I put the broken one in a non-people-weight-bearing spot, at the SO`s suggestion. I am super pleased with myself, as I am not a handy person. I would like to be, but I`m not. Anyway, it is done! Tomorrow I will go through my boxes and put them up there and I will be so happy to have my closet space.
 
I could see where I could put one more set of four, but really, this is pretty good. And I changed the lightbulbs up there which were stealth incandescents, one of which had already burned out, to compact flourescents. I think there are probably incandescents in the crawlspace too.
 
AND I found the manual for our furnace...on top of the furnace. So I call it total win!

Now I am going to shower and bed for lo, I am stinky and tired.

Watched through to episode five of the wire. Bon was right--this is where it goes from a theoretically good show to "Oh. Oooh." I was very amused by the fuck CSI scene, and by the amount of tension they can ratchet up with absolutely no violence--with all the violence happening elsewhere.
