Holy Crap I'm tired.

We hit Legoland this morning and actually got back here with daylight going on.  Everyone is tired out and frazzled.

Gonna wander down to the beach for a while and then hit the pool with the kids.

Finally home from work.  I shall enjoy my shrunken and overpriced box of Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mints, what else? ) and play around online, especially Facebook's Scavenger Hunt (if any other CC'er who also plays this game has an extra Unity Candle, please send it my way  :uhsure: ).

Ah, we are used to the heat my love.
Refrigerated air, misting systems and a deep swimming pool make it tolerable.

I agree Mr. Cat. The best summer day I have ever had in my life is when it was 117 outside and a bunch of us were soaking in the pool.

I spent the morning in Vegas. I had to take a math "pre-test" to make sure I am ready for a national exam. I was the only one in the room to score a 100%.

I also had to take a test of Pharmacopeia & other stuff> 86 questions seemed to go by pretty quickly. Until the instructor realized when correcting the tests, that the person that made the photocopies, only copied one side...so every other page was missing!  :thatsright: :rotf:

Now that the sun is going down, it's cooling off. I need to close my doors and windows. What a nice day.

I showed some restraint in Vegas while shopping after the class. I only purchased 3 pairs of shoes & two ties.

Well, it was a full day.

Up at 6 a.m. and did the feeding-the-animals (an 11-month old golden retriever and two parrots) schtick, followed up by a short romp with the pooch after she took care of the obligatories. Nasty, wind-blown day, and she decides she wants to wade into the pond.  :whatever: :whatever:

Couldn't rinse her off because the freakin' faucet's frozen (I had turned the water back on when we had 65-degree temps last week -- this week, it's wind chill of 15).

Mrs E takes care of that little chore while I peel off 14 layers of clothing and get ready to get wrapped around a cup of joe.

After that, I had to take a six-page piece of music that had every possible shitty page turn known to man and finish re-engraving it. The whole thing took only about 3 hours, including installation of the software. But in the end, I wound up with a piece of music that I can actually READ without having to do a damned two-step in flipping pages while trying not to miss a note.

Then it was time to work on a church project, then I took the pup out for a speed walk of an hour and 15 minutes and kicked her butt. (Kicked mine in the process.)

More work on paying bills, balancing checkbooks, then it was time to practice. Got a wickedly ugly bass trombone part that's kicking my ass.

Made up some kind  of unidentifiable curry thing with basmati rice, and now it's time to chill with Phoebe, our African grey, who's snoozing on my shoulder.

Finally back home.

And what do I find out when I tried to buy something at Wally World and get turned down because my AMEX (!) is "over limit"?

The assclowns at the hotel I stayed at TRIPLE-charged me.  Not double, TRIPLE-charged.

I want to kill people, make them suffer, and make their families watch.

That takes some special case of asinine for that to happen.  I'm sorry.

It's been an eventful day.  My new fridge was delivered.  Then it took my dad three trips to the hardware store and a couple of hours to get the water line hooked up.

The delivery guys did not hook up the water line?

No, you had to pay for installation.  There should have only been 2 trips to the hardware store. First my dad fixed my faucet from dripping, so we had to go pick up those parts.  Then they gave me a 6 ft water line, but that wasn't long enough.  Then my dad thought we needed a converter (and we didn't) so we went back instead of him just trying to hook up the line into the water valve that's already under my sink.  There's no need to pay for that installation, it was easy to do, just a little teflon tape and a wrench is all that's needed.  Plus, my dad drilled a different hole in my cabinet to run the line.  I'm just glad it's done with.

That teflon tape is some awesome stuff.  I was doing the brakes on my motorcycle and they would NOT stop leaking air.  A couple layers of tape did the trick.
