Been a busy couple of days

Spent today doing the shopping run.

My Mom and Dad bought a condo in Bellingham after downsizing from their Seattle house. Due to a mix-up, there was a time when the bills were not paid and this time coincided with a cold snap. A faucet froze and the place flooded.

I had ServPro do the remediation and they did their usual excellent work. I am now rebuilding it and buffing it up a bit. They had two storage units filled with part crap and part treasures. Planning to use the condo to stage sales on eBay (photography and packaging) and, at some time, put it on the market.  The economy is in the royal terlit right now so this would be in a couple years...

Was doing the usual buying run for the store and scheduled a meet with a carpet contractor and had the kitchen appliances delivered. Wonder of wonders, both contractors showed up on time.

I just felt the Earth shift a bit...

Just got home from a disappointing Mexican dinner. I had ordered soft corn tortillas for my tacos and they delivered hard corn. The kitchen took my plate, laid down two soft tortillas, scraped the filling out of the hard ones and topped them with with a mountain of lettuce and tomato. Cold and wet lettuce and tomato. I asked for a separate plate and removed a pile about the size of a grapefruit of wet cold lettuce and tomato pieces. Needless to say, my dinner was a cold and soggy mess. Did I say that it was cold and soggy? It was...

This is a family run restaurant and usually really good - I do not know which cousin was enjoying their first and last night on the line this evening but gaaaahhhhh... That was horrible.
