Should I Make A G-Rated Version As Well?

Woohoo, time for a little happy dance!

I'm not completely sure my mom is allowed to read this one...

Moving Right Along

It's Done!

Another note from my general contractor: "You'll need to replace your electrical panel the next time you do anything else. It's maxed out. Oh, and one of the breakers is arcing a little bit."

Then he told me he would make sure that all of my smoke detectors are in working order.

Anyhow, it's all done aside from the final inspection tomorrow. I took my first shower in there this morning and I might have to replace my water heater with a tankless version so I can spend the rest of my life in the shower without worrying that the hot water will run out.

First the bedroom ceiling -- this used to be a big hole:

The sink, with me doing my best not to end up in the picture:

Another picture looking into the bathroom from the bedroom. The shower is to the left of the sink:

 And the shower, with complimentary cat butt in the shot:

Another picture of the shower, again with Ripley:

Right. So it turns out that photographing a bathroom well is beyond my skill set. You'll just have to take my word for it that it turned out very nicely.

Trip or Treat!

I really was going to hand out candy tonight. I even have a full bag left. And then, at the last minute, I realized that the entryway looks like this:

And this:

Whatever am I going to do with all the extra candy?

The Mother of Invention's Little Helper

Apparently Brandon had plans to use his level someday.

The Mother of Invention

The lock on the bedroom door was having issues today and couldn't be locked from the outside. When I expressed concerns about the cats getting in and messing with the freshly painted walls Brandon left it like this:

Yes, that's a gigantic level that is bungee corded to the handle.

Whatever works...

Write Out

Halloween is just around the corner, and though I haven't quite finished off all the candy I'd planned to give out to the non-existent trick-or-treaters that means there are only a few more days before the beginning of NaNoWriMo.

"The World Needs Your Novel" is pretty much the funniest lie I've ever heard, but I'll be working on my own 50,000 words along with a whole bunch of other people. In the past year or so I've made an effort to make it a more social thing because... why not? I've planned write-ins at the local coffee shop a few Saturdays and of course I was the only one to ever show up. All this is to say I have a history of leading the world's loneliest write-ins.

The county's NaNoWriMo municipal liaisons asked me if I'd be willing to continue doing write-ins during November for people in my fair city. I'm sure the vast majority of the people doing NaNoWriMo in this county are attached to the university ten miles away, but there are probably a couple in Woodland. I agreed. They were already having write-ins in Davis on Saturdays, so I agreed to move mine to Sundays to give people more options.

Then I looked at the NFL schedule and it turns out that there are two home games that I need to be working during November and they are both on Sundays.

So, yes, I may actually be hosting write-ins that absolutely nobody, not even me, attends.

Bow down before my awesome social skills!
