Travel
I certainly didn't want to go out today in the post-Thanksgiving shopping traffic, and I mainly watched Book-TV a big part of the day. There are no commercial breaks so trips to the kitchen and bathroom had to be quick.
In a comment to my blog about the science shows I've been watching, Carolyn wrote to say that maybe quantum mechanics explains why she can walk into a room and then can't remember why or what she wanted. Carolyn, you are caught in a parallel universe, and for some reason you crossed briefly into that other world. I think I'm really beginning to like this science stuff if it can explain my crazy behavior! Some may wonder why a person who hates to use a cell phone, and doesn't want to know how certain technologies work (but just wants them to work) can be interested in quantum mechanics and the like. If I wanted to know about the latest computer technology for example, I could be as capable and good at it as anyone else, but it just isn't in my field of interest at this time. But the latest theories and discoveries about the universe happen to interest me now, so I'm going to learn a bit about it even if it drives me crazy.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about my home improvement projects, especially the kitchen. I would love to replace the cabinet and drawer pulls and hinges, but just a quick google search put me in a state of shock at the prices. My kitchen alone has 18 cabinet fronts and 12 drawers, and the same hinges and pulls are on all cabinetry in the hallway and bedrooms. I think I will need to space out the projects around the time it takes me to save the money to pay for them.
- Getting What I Always Wanted!
For years now I've been interested in getting a Jitterbug cell phone, and this morning I called and placed my order. I used my Tracfone to place the call as I still had almost 300 minutes to use in only 5 days. Would you believe that with...
- I Have A Working Dishwasher!
My son, Steve, came by today and fixed the dishwasher, so it looks like I won't need to buy a new one for a while. He also fixed some of the cabinet hinges and catches, and though I need a couple of replacements, most of the cabinet doors stay shut...
- Why Did I Ever Start This?
I decided I'd better seize the moment since I don't go anywhere on weekends, and would have plenty of time to get the job done. Of course I forgot to take into the equation the fact that I don't like to do too much at once, and I take frequent...

- I Hurt All Over!
I got the two bedrooms cleaned, walls and ceilings, with TSP. All my muscles hurt, especially my right shoulder and arm. Tomorrow the rugs will be cleaned and I hope to get the primer on and even possibly the first coat of paint by the end of the day...

Another day of doing nothing
