Day 1192

I woke up a little after 8.  Again I turned over and went back to sleep for about half an hour.  Then it was get up to do the pet stuff and have breakfast.

After breakfast it was time to do some things that have been hanging around.  I emailed the sewer people because they hadn't sent me an estimate.  I also called someone to fix the safe.  The locksmith said he could get here today. Unfortunately that meant we couldn't leave.

We put some more stuff away in the bathroom cabinets.  There's still a little left to go.  Then the rest of the morning was spent surfing.  I made up a final list of cat names.  I hope we make a decision tomorrow.  Someone from the sewer place called.  They want $2,500.  I told them to send me a written estimate.  The locksmith called me to say he'd be there at 1:30.  It was brisket sandwiches again for lunch.

A little after 1 the locksmith guy called to say he'd be about an hour late.  Crap.  That meant we'd be housebound the whole day.  He actually got here about 3.

I looked over the locksmith's shoulder while he worked.  It was quite interesting seeing how the whole thing worked.  It turns out the problem was that the last two numbers in the combination were too close together.  He reset the last number to be much less than it was.  He also took the lock apart, lubricated it, and "tuned" it.  When he finished it felt much better than new and worked flawlessly.  The tab was $190.

When he was done a put a few things from the house in the safe.  Then I did my exercises.  By the time it was done it was almost 5.  I took the dog to the mailbox.  There was a box with 50 lbs of cat litter and cat food in it.  I carried that back to the house.  It was a warm, humid day.  By the time I was finished I was really sweaty.  So I took a shower before dinner.  Dinner was salad and a little cheese.

After dinner was TV.  It turns out there are a few new channels that weren't on the "good ones" list.  So I added them.  I am tired, so I'm going to bed a little early.
