Back online after moving in with my sister, who has a new place. She just got DSL. YAY!! I"m in this century!!

*ahem*...DSL was LAST century

(welcome back)

Goddamnit!!

One step forward 1 and a half steps back.

As I predicted, all is NOT going smoothly installing the new fan housing.

Long story short, due to some very questionable placement of various ducts and pipes by god knows who, I first had to hack the vent duct off. And after doing that, I discovered that I'm going to have to shift the entire housing about 6 inches over. That means cutting away some ceiling and then eventually filling in the 6 inches on the other side.

Eff.

Will you come fix my kitchen ceiling when you're done? A new light fixture would be nice while you're at it.

Found a bottle of amaretto liqueur at Trader Joe's for $7. I can tell the quality difference between it and the amaretto I had last week at the Buena Vista with my folks, BUT... pretty good price regardless.

However, now I'm curious as to what brand the stuff at the bar was. I'm no expert on the adult beverages, but that stuff was smooth.

Trixie and Petra are home from being spade. It took Trixie all of 3 minutes to get her e-collar off and we weren't even home yet. It's going to be a fun week.

Probably Di Sarronno at the BV. (I've not been there in decades!)

For cooking I picked up the inexpensive brandy from TJ. Not drinkable (I'm sure €, expert that he is, would say so) but fine for cooking. In a glass it probably tastes like jet fuel.

Talented little girl!
