Discombobulated Thoughts — 12/5/06

• I cannot seem to keep my eyes open today. I’m doing that head bob thing.
• I’ve got to buy a bathing suit by next Tuesday when I start Water Physical Therapy. Apparently, it’s required.
• Do I have $1.20 in pennies to get me through 2 more trips through the I-95 toll?
• When will my new toll tag come?
• Those people behind me at the exact change toll were pissed this morning.
• I couldn’t find my mittens this morning when I went to walk Pugly; the outside thermostat said it was 19°F.
• I think I’m going to buy a Werner ladder on Home Depot’s “pay nothing until Jan ‘08″ deal. It’s like the Little Giant with all it’s bendiness and extentionabity but cheaper and then there’s the “pay nothing until Jan ‘08″. I think I even have a 10% off coupon I can use which will put the cost under $400.
• For some reason, my bank account has stopped being downloadable by Quicken in the last few weeks.
• I’ve got to figure out how to add a house as an asset in Quicken.
• The picture window finally got replaced this morning; again, it was only 19°F and that was seeping into my living room in a big way, but at least Pugly got a work-out barking and running after the glass guy.
• After charging me an early termination fee, the apartment complex kept my deposit, pet deposit, and all of those monthly pet rent bills and then sent me a bill for $600 to replace the carpet for a stain from a Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.  I loved living there, but I won’t recommend them or their parent company after I was such a good, quiet tenant, followed all the rules,  and I tried to do the right thing and they nickeled and dimed me.
• Pugly loves the new picture window in the the new house; he can bark at the whole neighborhood.
• I wish I could remember if I closed my garage this morning.
• I tried some fake “chicken” nuggets by Morning Star last night.  They weren’t “Wendy’s good” but they weren’t “McDonald’s bad”.  With BBQ sauce, they’re o.k. for the occasional running behind meal.

   Try the buffalo “wings” if you like, they’re not terribly spicy but flavorful.

   Can’t believe the rental agency kept all your deposit money AND billed you $600. That’s ridiculous.

   I was really pissed about the $600 bill, especially since it says “pay immediately”. However, they still have to send me the final water and garbage bill for November, which will be like $17.62 and they usually wait until the second half of the month to mail those out. Those aren’t payable until the first. So, I’ve decided to wait until Jan. 1rst to pay the whole thing in one check with “payment in full” written on it. At the very least, the money’ll be in my interest-earning checking account a few extra weeks.

   Especially since that’s the cost of like a ladder and 2 new bookshelves and probably a chair.

   Bastids.
