but I need to say something, so I shall gibber madly for the next 10 minutes and see what I come up with.
I spent most of my weekend looking for a bathtub faucet. You'd think that wouldn't be hard, but oh, how wrong you would be. I tried a couple of stores in Leduc but could not find a) suitable faucets or b) a person who might know where the damn faucets might be. Then there was a problem with the pipe bit coming out of the wall, so we went through 2 replacements before we found a way to make the third version work.
All this so we could continue to have a hand shower without having to rip out a wall. I learned about shower/bathtub faucet items though. I think I want a roman faucet set in future bath tubs I build in a future house.
Speaking of bath tubs, I know it is probably the thing to have fancy jetted tubs and all the whistles and bells. I can't stand those things. You need to empty your hot water tank (I will have on demand hot water so not a huge deal, but still) to fill the bloody thing, and I don't particularly need to go swimming every night when I take a bath. Because yes, I am a bath person. Not so much a shower person. I take a bath before bed every night because it switches off my brain. Or at least start the switching off process.
I have ideas for future house building but the prospect of making decisions fills me with dread. I'm not usually decision-making averse, but damn. I don't want to decide on 15 different floor choices, the type of furnace (with A/C, thank you very much, ideally geothermally powered, however that works) and if I should get that stuff that stops your house from burning. I know I don't need granite counter tops, because please. I am not that pretentious. Except when I fly long distances, and then give me the first class treatment because it hurts my back to be scrunched up in a stupid seat.
I have embraced stupid games on Facebook the past week or so. I am enjoying the building of 4 farms, two mafia families and now I have moved on to zoos and fish aquariums. Not so fond of the fish aquarium thing, their server has been stupid and off all evening so I think I will quit that one once the server is back.
I submitted the thesis to the grad studies faculty today. We'll see how long it takes to be accepted. Or if it is in fact accepted. They have to do the checking of apostrophes and so forth. Sucks to be them, if you ask me. All I know for certain is that I am mighty f'ing tired of looking at the bloody thing. Stupid thesis. I hate you.
I have now written for 9 minutes, that wasn't so bad after all. I have to work on my zoos, my farms and my mafia now so I shall sign off. Happy Monday.
