I have planned to do Nanowrimo this year. ~2000 words a day? That would be fine — if I had a plot[1]. Oh well: we’re supposed to write novels, not good ones, right?
[1] I am uninterested in doing the “barely fictionalised version of my life” story — I have a blog for that — and […]
Am I annoyed that my cat has been throwing up some watery gross stuff on my bed or worried about her?
Okay, Sheepish is right, I need a new category for the house-buying stuff. I am way too lazy to go back and check all my house-buying posts to figure out which are about *buying* and which about *fixing*, so it’s reader input time! What shall I rename this category to? Right now “homeownership sucks” is […]
My earlier trepidation was warranted: the flooring people did not show up. I called, left a message, called other flooring people, went home. They called back, a bit later:
“This is whatever-it-is flooring, you called?”
“Yes. You were supposed to come by between 9 and 9.30, but no one did.”

There’s a chandelier I found which I love. I want to want a cool modern one — but I don’t, I want a classic crystal chandelier, it’s all I can envision. I go and see beautiful modern ones and think yes, but not for me. Classic sense of style or lack of imagination? You be […]
Apparently the best way to “celebrate” the 10 year anniversary of the last referendum is to have news article upon news article about how, hey, maybe there will be another one again any time now.
In one of the home hardware stores — Reno Depot? Home Depot? — today, I met the Energizer Bunny. He just walked around the store, banging on his drum. Every time I passed near him I smiled. Eventually he walked closer to me and patted my cheek.
Yes, I can flirt with advertising characters.
What, no sympathy for my new broken toilet? I am feeling annoyed by the vendor, who fucked up the moving date and didn’t apologise or pay for the extra taxes etc for one day (okay, I would have refused, but she should have offered), didn’t leave me a key she said she would (so I […]
I got my poppy. Well, poppies: unsurprisingly, I lost the first one — those things slip off like there’s no tomorrow — and got another. Apparently Tim Hortons just has boxes of them at the cash.
The centres used to be green, and it still surprises me every year that they are black now. (Again, apparently: […]
Electrician has come and gone. I have lights in all my rooms, except my dining room, because the chandelier my grandparents gave me died. It was working, then it was not. So I need to find a new one. Specifically: I need to find a new one I can afford. I am waiting on the […]
