Toasted, tile trouble, WTF

It was another spectacular weekend weather-wise. Saturday was sunny and in the lower 70’s, Sunday was sunny again but closer to 80. On Saturday Ali had to work and I had to go into another branch in the afternoon for more weekend work, ugh. The conversion at this branch didn’t go quite so smoothly. Even though I know very little about the new setup, I went in there and took care of 4 or 5 issues that the installers were spinning their wheels on. I didn’t get home until 7:30. We spent Saturday night watching the Money Pit on tivo. Damn that is a funny movie. But I slept through the last half hour or so. Every few days after staying up till 11-12 playing WoW I am incredibly tired and just have to crash early. Saturday was one of those nights.

On Sunday Ali and I went to the beach again. Unlike last time, it was great beach weather. The sun was warm, the wind was light and the water was a bit warmer. I really enjoyed just sitting out there reading a book and then walking the beach for a bit. All in all we were only on the beach for an hour and a half. However with no sunblock on, this was more than enough to get fried. My chest is beet red. It seems odd to get sunburned in March. Oh well we all look better with a little color.

This past week we had like 3 inches of rain. The water had an adverse affect on the tile creation that we have built into Nicki’s deck. The water warped the plywood and in turn made a couple of the tiles pop loose. 🙁 That sucks. It sucks not only because that means the unique part of the deck is broken, it sucks because we have to pull it out and then rip up all the cut pieces of decking and replace them with full boards. Another 80-90 bucks at Home Depot and the labor to pull up the existing wood and lay down the new stuff. Sigh…

Does anyone else think this controversy about the woman having her feeding tube pulled is absolutely f’in ridiculous? I sure do. The woman has been a vegetable for 15 years, she told her husband she didn’t want to be kept alive like that but someone found it necessary to escalate this all the way up to the president’s desk to make sure she can continue to “exist” indefinitely? What exactly is the point? It makes no sense to me. If I wind up that way, kill me, please. So stupid.
