Tuesday Ramble

Morning all.  It's calm before the storm here this morning.  Some intrepid weather coming later, either snow, sleet or rain, who knows?  But the worst of it will be the plunging temperatures.  By tomorrow morning we'll be seeing some of the coldest temps of the year and it will go on for several days.  I went to my classes yesterday, but tomorrow is looking more and more like a stay home day.  Not up to standing around waiting for buses.  

The electrician came about 9am. I told him I was on my way out.  Besides I already had 5 outlets in the kitchen, I don't need another one.  He said it wasn't the outlets; the inspector wants another line for the outlet behind the sink.  Then he proceeded to show me what they planned on doing.

He said they were going to put a line (meaning a hole) from about a foot above the light switch and over to about a foot off to the side so they could put in the line.  I said, "What about my paint job?"  He told me the plasterer/painter was already there and would be following right behind.  "With white paint.  Have you notice that my walls are off white?"  "He'll get the paint for you.  It will only take us 30 minutes.  Yours is one of the easier apartments.  Let us just get it over with."  I stood my ground.  I had to leave....and good thing I did.

Just as I was putting on my jacket, there was a knock at the door.  It was the electrician's boss.  He came in and tested everything.  All is fine in my apartment.  No work needed.  Had I not held my ground they would have destroyed my living room for no good reason.  I was blessed.

So yesterday was a busy, busy day.  In line dancing I did the Electric Slide, Cuban Shuffle, The Wobble, Saturday Night Fever dance, and the Tango.  So much fun.  Afterwards a half hour of yoga, then meditation.  I am very careful with the yoga.  I know what it can do to me.  Then, in arts and crafts I almost finished my bracelet.

 Just have to put the hook on next week.

Today I'm off to do my banking and to pick up a few things.  Will be too cold tomorrow for sure.  Going down to 4 degrees.

Have an awesome day.
