It is a light!
A while back I bought a Satco Nuvo Lighting 60/2409 Moulan 1-Light Mini Pendant with Champagne Linen Glass. Did not open it until the electrician (The Curmudgeon and neighbor) was here to put it up, the glass is cracked, too late for a return.
I couldn’t find anyone who carries replacements and I need a replacement. After doing exhaustive online searches for a replacement shade, I finally contacted the company that makes the lights by E-mail. Within minutes I had an automatic response. However, a few minutes after that I had a solution.
Hurrah! They are supplying me with a replacement. I love Satco!!!
Ugly ass light from MSTB.
So not necessary.
New, beautiful light.
I sure do love it even though it is cracked…one can barely see the crack here.
You all have a good one!
A visit with the vampires…
Went for my blood work yesterday. I do love the new St. Luke’s center they built to the west of town. It is so much easier to park and, since it is such a new place, no one goes there.
Two receptionists, two people ahead of me, I waited about two minutes to check in. I didn’t even have time to turn on my Kindle.
Once checked in at the main desk, I walked to lab just a few yards down the hall. No one in the waiting room, another two-minute wait, I was seated and having blood drawn.
I cracked the phlebotomist up as she took two tubes of blood out of me. Since the chair was so high, I began to swing my legs back and forth and told her I felt like a little kid in the chair. “Where’s my tray and snacks?”
No coffee?!!! Crap!
Anyone who knows me, knows that until I have my cup of coffee when I first get up, I am not there. Unfortunately, I should have skipped that coffee today.
I completely forgot that I can’t have any coffee before my blood test. Well, as I said, my brains don’t function without the coffee. It wasn’t until after I had a cup of coffee that I remembered I shouldn’t have had the coffee.
Therefore, my day screwed the pooch before it even started. Now the rest of my week is a day off on what I had planned. (Sigh) I should know better than to make any plans.
You all have a good one!
How old are you?
That is the question I hear from The Curmudgeon occasionally. Is it any wonder? I wear silly socks, play with toys, and spoil the crap out of our dogs.
Yes, I admit it. I still manage to collect a few Bull Terrier items from time to time. Who can resist a sledding bully? Yes, the tall one is a Pez dispenser, I am a Pez addict from way back.
I’ve been known to stick my tongue out at people. Frequently. I do skip on occasion. I will color outside the lines. I can still make a mean cushion and blanket fort, and whatever you do, do not turn off my cartoons.
You all have a good one.
No! I am not the age it says on my birth certificate…am I?
There are days where I really feel my age. Today was one of those days. All I did was go grocery shopping–not a good day for it, the store was crowded with people who can’t move out of their own way.
By the time I got home, unloaded the car, put everything away, fed the dogs, and cooked dinner, I was ready for a nap.
I think I dozed off on the couch with Gavin around eight. I slept for an hour. Gavin enjoyed it and wanted me to snooze a bit longer. 😉 Silly pup.
Then there are days where I don’t feel any different from forty years ago when I was newly married.
You all have a good one!
And, we have a runner.
This blog isn’t going to write itself. Nope, although I wish it would, there’s no chance of it happening.
When I sat down at my desk to write, I saw my muse run out the door screaming, laughing, and pulling her hair out by the handfuls. About then, I knew the blog was in for some trouble.
If any of you happen to see a crazed, bald muse giggling in a corner somewhere, would you please send her home?
Whoo hoo it is a shower!
Get ready…..
His shower chair fits nicely…
Lots of shelves!
You all have a good one.
Two more days to new shower…
So the first day went well and the old, nasty pink tub is gone. The floor for the new shower is in and the rest should be done by the end of today.
However, we’re not supposed to use it for 24 hours after that. *Already dying for a shower.*
Before…
Busted up tub on the porch…
At the end of the day on day one
Busy days
Yesterday we had a Verizon guy here changing us from our old cable company to Fios TV. I already have my phone and computer on the system. It took him the longest to get The Curmudgeon’s TV hooked up. Finally finished it and I knew then, The Curmudgeon’s night was made.
Today, I have to move furniture, do laundry, and get things ready for the next interruption to our lives.
Monday, Bath Fitters arrives early in the morning to start removing the old tub and replacing it with a brand new shower. This will take them two days.
Unfortunately, depending on how long it takes, Tuesday will have to be split into shifts with The Curmudgeon and me. We both have to vote and I have a doctor’s appointment. I’ll stay here while he goes to vote and then when I leave for my doctor’s appointment I can stop to vote on my way.
Looking forward to Wednesday and some quiet. You all have a good one!

Did you sleep well?
If today is anything like yesterday afternoon, I’ll be going out with my camera. Destination: next door in the cemetery. The trees are lovely and I want to get some shots of some favorite tombstones and monuments.
I slept through the high winds yesterday. Nope, I didn’t hear a thing and I sleep with a window open. The Curmudgeon told me he had to retrieve our garbage cans from across the street. Never. Heard. A. Sound.
By the time I got up there was a nice breeze, sun, and it hit 70 degrees. Quite pleasant.
I did manage to take down the rest of the decorations and get most of them put away in the attic.
You all have a good one!
Ouch.
So glad I had an already cooked 1/2 a chicken in the freezer last night. I was so not ready to stand and cook for any length of time. My back is out again.
I have no idea what I did. My back was sore for several days. However, when I woke yesterday it had gone to downright painful. This keeps up and my doctor will have a visit from me before my already scheduled November appointment.
Of course I’ve learned to never say anything about being in pain or feeling sick to The Curmudgeon because then I am subjected to how much worse off he is. (I only say, “call 911” when I have a heart attack.) If I am sick or sore I suck it up or take myself to the doctor.

Have you had your chimney cleaned yet?
Well, we hadn’t had ours done yet this year. The chimney cleaners came today. Good thing they did. Our chimney was blocked. Not dirty, completely blocked.
This explains why we were smelling oil fumes every time the furnace kicked on. Explains my headaches of late too. Possibly explains my problems with thinking too.
According to the guy who cleaned the chimney, we are lucky to be alive. Probably because I always have my bedroom window open and keep the front door open all day until it gets too cold to do so.
When was the last time you had your chimney cleaned? Remember the life you save may be your own.
You all have a good one.
