I guess that particular groundhog didn’t get the memo to go back to bed!

Hackers and spammers get in there and try to create total havoc. I never could figure out why anyone would want to do that, I guess it’s just pure evil oozing out of their bodies, trying to ruin the capitalistic societies of the world. Where else could you push a button or two and switch from a screen that gives you a completely honest pacific hydrostar pressure washer review from fellow Internet users, and then a button push or two be able to find out where you can get some price comparisons for the same pacific hydrostar pressure washer, and then thirty seconds later buy a brand new wedding dress size 0 and pay for it all with PayPal? And then five seconds later get the up to date weather report for a country half-way around the world! What a great world this is!

When Tiffany gave me her dining room set, I was thrilled to pieces. I haven’t had any nice looking furniture in my dining room ever in my life. Always been living with hand-me-down beat up rickity furniture that was, in my opinion, an eye sore. So Jack and I drove the truck to the storage unit to load the dining room set onto the trailer to haul it home again. By the time we got home with the furniture Jack was in a foul mood and decided to not unload the furniture right away, even though I told him that the weatherman was calling for heavy rain. I pleaded with him to help me move the furniture into the garage to keep it dry, and we could move it into the house the next day.

Well Jack said that he would cover the furniture with tarps to protect it from getting wet, but that was all he was going to do for the day and that was the end of it. I unloaded the chairs by myself and left Jack to cover the remaining furniture.  I went into the kitchen to start cooking supper, trusting that Jack knew what he was doing. The rain came, as predicted, after dark, and it rained steady and hard for two days. I worried about the furniture, but Jack assured me that the tarp was doing its job and keeping the furniture safe and sound and dry as a bone.

When the rain finally cleared we went out into the driveway to unload the furniture. I was mortified when I realized that instead of a waterproof tarp, Jack had only put a cotton sheet as a drop cloth over the furniture!  You guessed it; the furniture was badly water damaged.

When the table was brought into the dining room, I started to cry. I grabbed a tube of toothpaste and started to rub it into the water stains. That method was useless. So I did a little bit of online research and found a suggestion that I use a cotton pressing cloth and a warm iron to iron out the water stains. Well, it took all day long, but it worked and the table looks great! Thank you, awesome tip sharing people on the Internet! You saved the day!

It is very challenging to wake up in the morning and not have the electricity to help you dress and have breakfast. But we’ll all manage to get through it. I just hope the power is back on when I get home tonight.

I decided we should just skip breakfast and go out to buy a quick lunch, and then we can spend a couple hours at the Lake. That will be a nice change and the weather is perfect for working on my tan.
