[rock hound]

The sun came out, the flurries stopped and the driveway hill is drive able for Carla to make it home!

Not today, but yesterday ...

I went to the record shop down in the artsie part of Indy. Long drive, but usuallly  worth it.
I found several albums worth  a  few more plays, like a Roy Orbison - I bought five.
A Uriah Heep I did not yet have.

I spent too much.

Also went across the street and bought a Large bulldog style Petersen pipe.

A friend of mine works in Marketing and sets up displays at various stores and one of her stores is my local Wal-Mart. She knows my shopping schedule so she tries to be at my store when she knows I'll be there so we can do a quick catch up. It's always a good thing for me. She makes me laugh.

Glad to hear it my dear, a happy smiling and laughing, joyful you is just the kind of you we want to see

As for me...my ammonium formate FINALLY arrived. Hmph...the eastern european lot are usually pretty sharp when it comes to getting their merchandise to their customers sharpish.

And I got paid today, which means I can finally afford to buy the 1-bromo-3,6-dimethyladamantane that I want. Although I'm going to see how much I can get out of how many different suppliers before I commit to buying the kg I want...see if I can't get that much for free xD. The chinese chemical merchant's version of the customer who fills himself up on the little bits of different kinds of hams, roast beef, roast lamb and cheese types on little pointed sticks from tiny cups, and then decides he isn't going to buy any afterall, since he just realized, those samples...he's quite full up, thank you very much...


Did have to add some information in english to the ammonium formate, translating the label, which was in lithuanian, and adding in some important notes to the label (such as the fact that it decomposes rather than reaches a true melting point, and at that temperature, turns into a mixture of hydrogen cyanide, ammonia and carbon monoxide. Not the friendliest selection of waste products in the world...)

This happened last night but the boyfriend and I went out to do an ice cream fun for the family. We always do our best catching up and talking while driving.

Had a surprisingly good meeting today. I thought it would be an absolute disaster and result in all kinds of problems but the project manager foresaw all of my worries and actually made the meeting to be about all of those worries.

I'm stunned.

  That project manager has some serious people skills and theory-of-mind skills!

I have a day off!

[Tequila]

That curry was alright.

He's actually pretty damned good at what he does, yes. It's a rare thing.

Got all of my errands done early and BF has the day off today because we both had medical appointments so we went together (hello middle age) and now I can enjoy the rest of the day knowing I got a lot out of the way already.

[Queen Victoria]

Passed our house inspection. Kayleigh managed to make her room look decent. Only thing is, the housing person said the inspections will now be every 3 months instead of every 6 months.

Why?

So glad we don't have a thing like house inspection here. The only thing they do now and then inspect is things that might need replacing or fixing. Most of the times just on the outside of the house. Inside I've only had them twice without me inviting them, in over 25 years.

Some new thing they said. So they could stay up to date on everyone's maintenance. As it is, I reported that our oven's igniter doesn't work any more.

  That might actually be a good thing.  Instead of letting everything build up for half a year, maybe
  Kayleigh will decide to stay on top of at least some of it, so there won't need to be a last-minute
  emergency marathon cleanup.  It's for the best!
