Okay, you know what I had to do today? Fix the oil burner and hot water heater. Seriously. With George out of town, of course the system gets screwed up, and with it being 20 degrees outside, I couldn’t exactly wait until tomorrow till someone could come fix it. So George walked me through it on the phone and I did it. Yay. Big thrill.

The real thrill was when a mouse (or rat, who knows - all I know is that it looked really well fed) shot out from under some rubble next to me (twice), causing me to shriek loudly (twice) into the phone, probably bursting George’s ear drums in the process. What a girl.

The real bummer was that I couldn’t even de-stress afterward by knitting because my hands smell so strongly of oil.
