Current mood:

tired

You know me....
It's either feast or famine, posting-wise. I guess it's like having no money when you have lots of free time vs. earning money but having no time to spend it. When I am doing things that are interesting enough to post about, it's hard to make myself sit down and actually write about them!

So here's a short version. Sunday I finally trimmed Mike's hair and my own, and also did some color changing. Somehow I used a really old bottle of stuff on Mike (instead of the new bottle I'd just bought) and so his hair is only a dark auburn, barely bleached at all. Mine is back to brilliant blue.

Yesterday I had a TON of fiddly things to do, so many I had to make a list to keep track of them all. Today was about the same, although it was only a half ton of things. But instead of the other half ton I had to go to a meeting, the Prowers County Democratic Central Committee, for the biennial reorg stuff required by state law.

I had been warned ahead of time that the current secretary was not going to re-up, due to health reasons. (She's been a mainstay of the local party for decades, and has earned the right to rest!) Hints were floated to me, even though it is well-known, or should be, that I have neither the world's best hand-writing nor organizational skills. Luckily, another victim volunteer was found for the job.

What I was NOT pre-warned about was that the current leaders had decided to make an honest woman of me, as it were, and legalize our relationship by turning my area of volunteer responsibility (the web site, all computer functions, etc) into an actual position on the Central Committee. So now I am the OFFICIAL Communications Specialist. Which does sound nicer than WebWonk. I guess now I will have to do better at keeping the site updated....

When I got home from the meeting, Mike met me with alarmed exclamations and demands. The heater! It was not working! OMGWFTBBQ111!!!1!

And it wasn't. I felt DUMB, because I had been complaining all day about it feeling extra cold.... Yeah, when the furnace isn't going and it's 12 degrees out, that tends to happen.

Luckily it seems to have only been a burp in the gas line or something. The pilot light had gone out, but it started up without a hitch when I re-lit it. Now I just have to not forget to go down to the basement and light the pilot on the hot water heater before I go to bed. (And what are you getting YOUR Significant Other for Valentine's? is it as good as HOT WATER?? Huh?!?!)

Here's one more thing I did today. Did you know they make neon pink duct tape?? Well, they do, and I bought some, and I made a case for my cellphone! My wind-up alligator is jealous in the tree!

Oh, and speaking of pictures, I got asked to be a mod on day_on_earth! I am tickled as pink as my duct tape!

OK, off to light the hot water heater pilot now.
