Weekend Update
Apr. 24th, 2016 08:03 amYesterday was a Best Laid Plans sort of day. The engine light came on in our car so I figured I'd bring it to our local Honda garage in the Inner Sunset, hang out for a few hours, and pick it up later in the afternoon. This is the normal plan when I bring it over there for something. This time, however, I spent most of the late morning and midafternoon over there waiting for a call that didn't come, headed over to Clement to hang there for a bit, and finally got a call at the end of the day that there's more that needs doing, but they don't have the parts so I'll need to bring it back midweek. I had no problem hanging around Green Apple Books (both stores) for most of the day, but my issue was that I had to stay close to the 44 bus line (which, by the way, is not in any way on a regular schedule). Which kind of put a damper on what I could do. Anyhoo, the car is back in our garage, and I'll drive it back over there maybe on Tuesday.
The downside of thwarted plans (such as they were) is that, for some strange reason, I end up having dreams of irritation that night. Every now and again they're dreams of someone trying to break in to my parents' house, and I'm watching/hearing them so I end up yelling "hey!" to chase them away. Which I know I'm muttering in my sleep because that's about when A. ends up nudging me awake. My brain is weird.
Oh! And Monday we'll be getting new front windows! Part of the reno/refit that our building is going through is that they'll be replacing the kitchen and living room windows. They're both old and leaky, so I'm sure we'll notice the difference in how warm/cool the apartment will be. The downside is that it'll be quite noisy and A is heading into her office tomorrow to avoid that.
Not sure what we have planned for today, other than doing the usual grocery shopping. Probably some lunch and then hanging out being lazy! There is the temptation to head over to Best Buy again sometime soon...I've been contemplating looking at a new desk PC as my current one's been acting up a bit lately. It bluescreened a few times over the last month and a half, which is never a good sign. The processing speed has been slowing up, and I think some of the drivers aren't updating correctly. It's only been about 3 years (I still hate how short PC shelf lives are) but it's gotten a hell of a lot of mileage. I did narrow the models I was looking at down to two, so I'll have to think about if/when I'll make the replacement. We shall see.
