Monday's matters...

Well, I didn't get up too early but got my errands done. I put flag out around noon and went to the bank. On the way, I took photos of houses in the area for ideas and just amusement. At bank the line was long! Deposited that unexpected check into estate account without problem. Walked to home improvement store. Fetched two light switches, caulking tape (why is it so expensive? grrr), new bath faucet and um... hmm, maybe that was all. No! Wait! I got shims for use when installing the French doors. I was going to get a water quality test kit but decided $10 was high for buying it today.

I then went to grocery to get a money order. I had to wait because that counter does the video rentals too. I was getting bored. I didn't get any groceries. By the time I was done my errands it was coming to 4pm but I took more photos on way back to house. I posted my money order in the mail today. I had gotten here before the mail man although he was on his route! Mail was mostly advertising crap for Mother. She doesn't want to buy jewelry or get new mortgage!

Later I climbed on the roof and cut the strings tying the "whirly bird" vent things so they can spin. Maybe it will help the house cool some. I removed a few decayed decorative shingles. I kept ladder out because I might go on roof for fireworks tomorrow night like in old days? Neighbor yelled over not to fall off. :P

When at home improvement, I priced bags of bark and stone. Stone is expensive there! Brother emailed. He agrees! He used to sell those things in one of his early jobs. He is stunned at their pricing? He thinks faucet I got is OK but I knew he would say that no matter what. He doesn't like the one in master bath. I guess it is tarnished?

I am bored tonight. Feeling hungry although I just ate. I hate holidays. People do weird things on holidays and aren't home? There will probably be crazy people with illegal fireworks too. Very annoying. Must get flag out earlier tomorrow.

It's about 10:20pm. WTF?? I was going to pay the supposedly unpaid water bill and I went to do online bill paying and the thing refreshed while I was looking away and is now says "Filed" next to the date. The website says filed status translates to bill paid by means other than online. I'm very confused.

It is midnight? I put down caulking tape on toilet and tub. I also caulked shower doors and assorted places in bathroom. I will now move on to kitty's bathroom (was Mother's).
