WHATTA DAY!!

But it ended OK.

This morning I found that the email situation was still not resolved.

I got back on the chat line with a customer service rep who found the actual problem. I bought a new cable connection at the new house without buying into the earthlink at that location. When I terminated cable service at the old address, so went earthlink.

I could have gone back to the cable and gotten the basic earthlink like I had or buy a direct feed for a small monthly fee which has 100 mb more oomph than the basic. More pictures, maybe movies and ten fucking addresses. What am I going to do with those?

That consumed my gym time. No gym. But I got 'er done.

I did have a few minutes so I decided to scrub down one of our throw rugs, the one at the front door. It is a favorite dog rug and filthy. So I took some light soap and water and scrubbed it, hosed it down and have let it dry all day.

Then it was a normal Thursday with a friend over for some work together at 8. OK. It took a little more time.

Then, the buyer of our house asked for a list of services we used, the cost and a comment about how each did their job. It took an hour or more. Lunch was late.

I went over to the old house and watered and filled the fountain and decided to remove the poinsettia that I have been nurturing since Christmas. There is a perfect location over here so I uprooted it, nicely, and brought it over here and transplanted it.

The new pot even has a watering tube in it and rich humus.

Whoever lived here last or before were gardeners. The plantings out front are really wonderful. Good size flowering trees, four kinds. Very nice.

Booker helped.

We had some guys come hang pictures at 3 PM.

Meanwhile, I got a letter from my equity loan bank with some papers which I thought we had already signed but safer than sorry I took them over to the escrow office.

We are now projected to close escrow on the house with the deed transferred (and money in the bank) by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Then, I made chili for dinner and goddam it but I didn't have the spice pack that I use and had to go "around the corner" to the big Ralphs' to get it. And where do they put this kind of thing? Not with spices but in the area for boxed dinners and pasta and shit.

But I found it and went to checkout.

The big Ralphs' has do-it-yourself checkout which I won't do but there is always a guy there to help you and actually do it for you and no one, but no one, lined up to check themselves out. It is just another express line. I bet they take the things out. I won't do it.

Never

I don't see anyone else doing it either. It is bullshit.

By that time, it is time to make dinner which is what I am doing and then I got some computer time. Quietly reading the latest upset on the blogs.

A good day. Unplanned but a lot was in it. Good.
