susandennisRemember how I am not a night person or even an evening person?
I have a $600 toilet seat. Not a typo. It's a high end bidet toilet seat (that no one needs) that I bought 6 years ago and love love love every single day. And last night a piece chipped off. Not on the sitting part but underneath. And there's a fairly long crack. I got out the superglue. And glued the piece in and the crack and two of my fingers. I didn't glue them together. I'm not stupid. I just got superglue all over both of them and part of my hand.
My brother has told me more than once how much he appreciates my teaching him about the wonders of fingernail polish remover against the powers of super glue. He's smart. He now keeps remover next to his superglue. Did I get out the polish remover when I got out the super glue last night? Of course I did not. And, so, by the time I did get it, I was glued. Fuck.
Plus, it's clear, the toilet seat is toast. Life without it is not worth living. So, there turns out to be a good reason why I've been saving my sheckles this month. Karma knew I'd need them to replace the toilet seat. And, with the proceeds from the Mariner ticket that I sold, I will still be able to pay for it with the money I set aside for the month. AND turns out the bidet place is having a Summer sale and I got a coupon so the replacement seat ends up costing me $150 less than it's predecessor did 6 years ago. It will be here this week.
And, while there are remnants, most of the glue is gone from my fingers.
I have a ticket to today's Mariner game. There are actually two games today. Until last night, I thought my game was the afternoon one. I'm not even sure what made me look, but last night I did and NOPE! My game is the night one! It really does not matter today since it's going to be cloudy all day but I'm fine with the night one. Once I made the discovery, I then had visions of my rolling up to the door with my night game ticket this afternoon and being told ooops. So glad I did not do that.
So today will be a regular day but mainly saving my appetite for the pregame dinner.
I finished Season 1 of The Split and thought I'd take a break before watching Season 2 but I'm pretty obsessed with what's happening to the characters while I'm not watching so I'll probably start Season 2 today.
I'm 15% into A Thousand Pardons by Jonathan Dee and while it could still take a bad turn, so far it is an amazing read. I don't know why I never heard of this author before but wow. And he has other stuff already published. My favorite kind of author.
I need coffee or shower. Or both.
This entry needs Biggie. He's on duty.
