Things to do:
1. Buy a new lower rack for the dishwasher or buy a new dishwasher.
2. Buy a replacement knob for the Sears washing machine.
3. Buy some new tall water glasses. The dishwashers seems to have eaten them all.
4. Buy a new sink and faucet for the kitchen. Shoulda done it when we replaced the pipes.
5. Buy a new water valve for the fridge and stick the new ice machine in it. It flooded the kitchen Monday when the valve stuck open.
6. Have the bathtub refinished.
7. Redo the second story floors, including the bathroom.
8. Have the old cold-air return covered in the kitchen.
9. Have the one large crappy hot-air register covered in the dining room.
10. Put a new floor in the basement.
11. Replace the treads and risers on the basement stairs.
12. Finish the basement project.
13. Judge the STC help files I've got here.
14. Spend a day seeing movies at the Lagoon.
15. Fix the fucking doorbell.
16. Liberate my vacuum cleaner from UPS.
17. Oops, Christmas and birthday shop for my Aunt, Cousin, Sister, & Thong.
18. Write, address and mail Christmas cards.

What's happening:
1. New roof on Monday, December 3.
2. Cable TV on Saturday, November 24.
3. Switched the vacuum to have it delivered at work on Monday, November 26.
4. Get my butt out the door so I can do a few of the things on the main list.

And people say I'm not patriotic just because I'm a leftist pinko hippy commie fag.

What should appear to my eyes by surprise, but a UPS tuck pulling up to the curve. I sprang from the chair and tore down the stairs, before he, boyish and cute, could step foot on the ground.
He brought out the tablet, I signed it while he dragged my new vacuum free of his truck. This, in spite of my changing the delivery location and his statement that he wouldn't be back until Monday...
I ripped open the boxes and ran up the stairs vacuuming as I went, until with the baby brush cleaning the doors, it overheated and shut down.
