Weather Report...and such

Whew, our rivers and streams up here are pretty full and we've got some flooding but nothing like the areas north of Boston in MA where water is reported to be bubbling up from toilets, tubs and sinks because it just has no where else to go! Ok, that is totally a case of water being where it doesn't belong...gives me the willies. I can report I'm getting a wee bit crazed by all the rain and clouds though..gggrrr but I'll take it over water where it doesn't belong.

Speaking of which..the upstairs toilet tank is leaking; I think it is envious of the downstairs makeover. In time, in time. Stop leaking already!

So you all know I have this um er...visualization issue, right? Leo mentioned "those" nasty words to me yesterday. Yup, I have to make a decision about wall color but worst than that, he wants to me lay out a grid for placement of the "special" wall tiles! OMG! Is it not bad enough I have to decide whether they go on the wall vertically or horizontally??? Why oh why did I not see this coming with 10x8 tiles...or are they 8X10? Graph paper? Shading? what? How does that help the visually impaired? Solution...you'll be able to "see" the walls in their many forms laid on on the living room floor during the course of today..feel free to drop in and offer suggestions. Ooooh,I can sooooo do floor puzzles. Sort of...At any rate, it will help me make decisions and then I can transfer it to paper for Leo. I just might take advantage of those little paint can samples though when it comes to picking the wall color, though. Woe is me...you know how daunting a task this is for me when you know there is just a gazillion shades of just white paint, getting into color..OMG I feel faint.

Ohhhh and in the don't do me any favors category..check this! I will have ample opportunity to play with the tiles today because I will have no car. Greg has one with him and mine is at the repair shop. Apparently there is a finite number of times one can put off the "service theft alarm" notification that has sometimes popped up on my info panel on my dash. I was planning on mentioning it when I brought the car in for it's tire change...really I was. Anyway, the theft deterrent mechanism works...too well, it seems. *I* was unable to start my car yesterday when I went to leave the grocery store parking lot. (Yes, Cori, the infamous Grand Union parking lot where I ditched you all many years ago) it would seem to me that my car should be able to recognize the woman with the key and should allow me to start my own damn car...I am NOT a thief! ( uummm those words sound familiar) I was very much annoyed...I hate it when things are put in place "for my own protection" thanks fellas...you just protected me from stealing my own car! You gonna pay the tow truck?? ...and no I don't want any crap from the peanut gallery about heeding the "service theft alarm" warning light...How was I to know it would lock ME out! Me!? I OWN the car! Well, would be thieves be advised; up for grabs will be a slightly used 1999 Saab 9-5 because I am going to have them disconnect the theft alarm device. Cripes, I don't even lock my car door, why the hell do I need a theft alarm?? Snort...bet today's thieves can't even drive a standard transmission anyway, so there! Babies....

Moving right along, if you need to find me today, I'll be the one in the living room, covered in paint chips, moving tiles around on the carpet.

Have a fine day all.....

Water tends to bubble up here, in the shower stalls, when we have gotten a lot of rain. Until I moved here, I had NO idea what kinds of feelings rain brings out in folks, and I'm talking about rain that just pours for days. Be well, and thanks for the support.
