Things I have to do

as distinct from the usual monkey-herding, making dinner tomorrow since dinner today was called on account of power failure due to the EARTH-SHATTERING KABOOM, and necessary frantic wrangling related to the miscellaneous house chaos involved with getting the holes in my office walls fixed (which will mean that we can paint the office, and then move the bedroom into the office, and then get the holes in the bedroom fixed, and then paint the bedroom, and then put the bedroom back, and then put the office back, and if this strikes anyone else as being basically one of those slidey puzzle things where in the end it reads 1 2 3 4 / 5 7 6 8 / 9 10 11 12 / 13 14 15 and one can't quite manage to fix the 6/7 problem there YES that is exactly what it is like only with the zombie apocalypse preventing us getting the 4 in place in the first row for four months and heavier pieces).

( Just some to-dos, no further amusing venting )
