Yeah and they always blow in the evening and it was a main light that I use.

Got a replacement bulb in and turned it on to find out the replacement bulb was dead. So I had to go fishing for another bulb. Climbed back up on the chair after having just climbed down, put the next bulb I found in and got back down. Turned on the light and it worked. Decided to check the other bulbs in that box and found that a couple of others could be dead too. So put them aside to go to recycling.

Well, the weather today and the next three days should be cool enough for yardwork. (My limit is 85deg.)

So I managed to put two hours in this AM, filled another binful before the green waste truck came by, and it wasn't too bad! Almost everything in the front has been weed whacked. At this point, I start digging stuff up and moving dirt around.

But I plan on only an hour at a time. If I manage more, great! If not... OH WELL!

Also took some iron early this AM. I can't imagine it working this fast, but it already feels like I have more energy. I'll see what happens.

Don't you hate it when that happens?

Yeah, I do.

The only good is that with it being summer, I don't have to turn that light on until after 9:30pm.

Got back from my day out at about 4pm. Didn't win at mah jong but I managed to get all 4 flowers of one colour and for that hand I had 6 doubles. So, I finished the afternoon with over 4,000 points. Another lady had over 8,000points, so she was the winner. Oh, well. Maybe Thursday will be better.


Anyways turns out that rumour was right. My building did get new washers and dryers.

New washers and driers though?

I think you were the big winner today.

Yup. Someone told me that on Saturday and she thought it was just a rumour. But there were signs up in the elevators that the laundry room would be closed today because they were all being replaced. The guys were still working when I got home and I saw one of the new machines coming in.

That will be nice the next time I do laundry.
