So we bought a new car, fixed the imac by replacing the hard drive, got a replacement part for the furnace and today the oven and television repair guys are coming. What is next?

-- Well, the oven repair guy just came. Of course, when he got here the oven is no longer locking itself and and making the F43 locked door shriek. He is ordering us a new controller and lock that should come in 10 days.

The television guy is yet to come. Eventually, this will all be done. I can't wait, then again I seriously worked till like 4am. Luckily, I enjoyed what I was doing to some degree.

This morning National Grid called because the tenants downstairs at Nonna's never transferred the electricity over to their name and they want me to let them in to shut down the power today - friday.

How can the tenants be so dumb to let this happen. They will have no heat. Tony told me they have known about this for months. He also said National Grid threatened to turn it off at the pole which I can't understand. Wouldn't that shut off electricity to the whole house?

Tonight at midnight is my birthday and I still have no plans/ideas. There was honestly nothing I wanted or wanted to do. I hope 34 doesn't suck.

It was totally worth the trip back and forth to Lockport. First of all because the furnace is now fixed but secondly because I tot to order 24 smoked chicken wings from One-eyed Jack's on the way home. Even (e:terry) liked em and he does not even eat wings.

This thing seems like it has a lot of potenital for $99. I would totally replace paper with something like this - especially if it lives up to its 180 hour battery life.

NoteSlate is low cost tablet device with true one colour display, real paper look design, long life battery (180h !), together with very handy usage and very simple and helpful interface for pen and paper. This easy, compact and portable gadget is used anywhere you want to make any notes, drafts, sketches, any ideas for future reference. Paper for everyone! Write a note and check it later, save it, or delete it. Maybe send it after. Just one colour is enough to express the basics. Keep your life simple. You will love it. For $99.

This might be the last day that our car is the cleanest in the lot.

I was just saying how everything is broken on (e:leetee)'s journal. Today the furnace decided to shut down too. That makes a broken stove, broken tv, broken car, broken furnace. I seriously can't take one more thing.

At noon we get the new car. This is totally overshadowed by the lack of heat. Unfortunately, I can't get a hold of our friend that installed the furnace. Anyone know a good company I can call?
