I pooped out about 6ish yesterday. Yesterday was a day that just refused to go as planned. Not actually having a definitive plan certainly did not help matters. No, We set about yesterday with the same vague idea of what we needed to do and when we wanted to get it done by. While we had the same destinations in mind, our countdowns were different. It was also snowing; hard. So:
1. Two nerds leave the house in Anchorage, AK at 8:30 AM. They travel 2.75 Miles in a 1993 Buick Skylark to get fuel and test out the new snow tires in the 4 inch deep snow. The vehicle has an EPA estimate of 19 miles/gallon but in reality it gets 13 miles per gallon. Why does it take 1/2 hour to fill up the gas tank with 11.67 gallons of gas and park in the Fred Meyer Parking lot?
2. A married couple arrive at a Fred Meyer super store at 9 am. They split up to make better use of their time. One runs the groceries, the other runs around to get Xacto blades and runs up and down the other aisles to try and remember what it is that he’s been forgetting the last 12 times he’s been in the store. After remembering he runs to check on his partners progress and inform her of his change in location from the right side of the store to the left side in the clothing department, specifically shoes. After a long failure he returns to the other to help with the grocery getting. After being shuffled around at the checkout stands they return to their vehicle to find that it is covered with 4 inches of snow. Why is it that out of 500 shoes in one store, they never seem to have size 12 shoes in stock when they seem to carry plenty of odd sizes like 13W, 11.5, 11, and 12EEE?
3. Two brilliant, extremely talented, and gorgeous people arrive at a Sam’s Club at 11:30 am. It took 20 minutes to drive 0.95 miles to arrive at this destination. In the search for pants to fit the ever changing waist of the male they once again discover that out of 1,000 pairs of pants, not a single pair are listed as 36w 34l. Why is it that no matter what the size pant, or how many are on the tables, there is rarely any that fit the male?
Answer 1. It’s Anchorage and people drive like idiots as well as the lights are timed to slow people down for safety.
Answer 2. There is an evil twin with a lot of money running around Anchorage collecting all the correct shoes.
Answer 3. The second person is contacting Sam’s Club ahead of their arrival and having them remove all the pants of the correct size. This is why he finds pants that fit when he goes in with out her.
We eventually got home and I continued to mess up the garage to clean it and Melissa had a library/craft closet accident. We got a lot done, but it hardly seems like it.
List:
Check on Sump pump.
Try sealing cold air return from dining area. oops, it seems I had done that when I worked on the crawl space. Damn I’m good.
Still have to put tools more where they belong.it would help if I didn’t keep changing where they belong.
work more on window seat.
