Well, got the wrong kind of drip pans for my stove. Now I have to go back to Walmart to exchange them for the right ones. I’m disappointed because I had the right ones in my hands along with the wrong ones when I was interrupted. When I was done glaring at the man who interrupted me, I threw the wrong one in the cart. Why was I glaring at the man?
I am standing in the isle facing the rack when this weird man comes right up behind me. I can feel his breath on the back of my neck that is how close he is to me. He whispered near my ear “You are so sexy” – omg! I almost hit him, seriously! Had my fists clinched and everything but instead took a step away from him – glared at him and called him a freak. LOL. It really freaked me out though. I suppose I should have told someone because I bet he was doing it to all the women he found alone in isles. God, he was so creepy! I just wanted out of Walmart after that and am reluctant to want to go back. {sigh}
I got, with a lot of difficulty, the towel bar and matching toilet holder up. I have to say, the carpenters who put the originals up did a real shitty job. There were three holes on each side of both bars yet screws and anchors only in one hole each. It’s like they didn’t have a ruler to measure the distance so just kept guessing. Now that I have the new ones up, hopefully they’ll stay, I’m wondering if I should caulk around them? I know I would if they were actually in the tub area but they aren’t. Guess I won’t – the other ones weren’t caulked.
So I have six items done on my list for today – have five more to do. Then I have to do some general cleaning downstairs as my brother is stopping by tomorrow. We won’t stay here at the house but I imagine he’ll come in so want it to look decent. Sure wish this couch was out of here. The guys are over at Dan’s and could/would do it for me now BUT it is raining. Go figure.
I used my drill for the new holes for the towel bar – guess what stupid me did right after taking the drill up from the screw? Yep, I touched the hot end with my thumb so now I have a nice blister. The second I did it I started cussing at myself because I did the same thing last time and my thumb hurt for days. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I enjoy doing home repairs but get frustrated when I make stupid mistakes. Ugh.
I have to replace an electrical outlet here in a bit – I don’t have a tester to make sure the power is off but the breaker is labeled in the panel so hopefully whoever did the labeling did it correctly.
Baxter is in hiding. I think he is afraid of getting in the way. Plus the noise of the drill bothered him – he sat up there watching me until the drill came out.
Guess I best get back to it. Hope everyone is having a good day!
