Jan 27 -- Homebody
From my current Twitter stream:
The only thing I got from Home Depot that I could put into operation immediately were the special GU10 50 watt lightbulbs for the kitchen sink lights that veejane helped me put in over a year ago (two years?). They've had a goodly run, but three had burned out in the last few weeks, so their Time was Up. Now the cooking prep area and washing up area are lighted like a surgeon's operating table again.
I needed the drill to put holes into the board that's come loose from the lintel on the cellar door. It cracked a while back, so I can see through the crack. Once it's held down, I can use caulk to keep it airtight until a real repairman could replace it. But it seems like a home repair job to start with, and they seem to have reused the kind of concrete board that you use on bathroom walls, so I'm going to have to drill holes to get the nails through. Oy.
In the meantime, it is lightly snowing, with a really threatening looking radar map indicating it's going to keep on snowing approximately until February, but I've got computers, tvs and enough home tasks to keep me busy until then, too.
