Good Things
Sep. 18th, 2008 07:42 amI moved the bookshelf in the living room, switching it with the electric 'wood' stove so that it wasn't blocking the thermostat. Heat would collect there and shut off the whole house heat because the bookshelf was only 6" or so from the thermostat. I figure, I've wanted to do this anyway and the plumber is coming today. It looks good!
Getting our heat checked out for the new season is a good thing. I can't believe how cool it is out there - yay! Maybe I'll motivate myself this week to call some insulators to set up time for quotes.
The garage doors came in a bit high so we're getting another quote. Getting that stuff taken care of finally is a good thing.
Our crockpot beef stew was really good. It was a tomato based recipe that included instant tapioca powder (see what I mean by weird ingredients?). I could get into this crock pot thing. Fritatta tonight, dinner out tomorrow.
I've finished the Dreden Files book I was working on and will move to the next more productive one (Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle, from the library). Reading in the living room with a lit candle and the electric stove 'lit' (it can do the fake fire lights/noise with no heat) is awesome!
