A relaxing, lazy Saturday

You know, it's a bit lonely here now that my parents are gone. And nothing gets magically fixed around the house while I'm at work either. As much work as I did with my dad together, he did at least that much on his own while I was at work. Together we tore down 1 shed and put up a new one; tore out the wooden trim in our bathroom window, repaired some water damage to the wall, then replaced it all with ceramic tile.
On his own...my dad replaced the light fixtures in the living room and dining room; did some minor painting in the hallway where I just built the linen closet, repaired the ceiling in the dining room around the new threshold, patched a couple other little things while he had the spackle out, and sealed and stained the deck out back. For a guy that doesn't get alot of sleep at night, he sure has alot of energy.
The only downside is that it made this weekend seem extremely lazy by comparison. All I did today was watch a bunch of football, make some pizza crust for tomorrow, and paint the trim around the 3 new basement windows. Normally that would be a pretty active Saturday.
Even better was that my car gave me a 3-day weekend. One of my ignition coils went bad, meaning I had to take it to the shop instead of going to work. It cost me $300 and a vacation day, but the mental health I gained is probably worth double that. Fridays have been pretty brutal lately. Whereas most companies push really hard to get things done by Thursday so you don't have to haul ass on Friday, we like to save 2 days worth of stuff to do on Fridays. Really takes the joy out of Fridays.

And Fox has finally added something to one of their chick shows to appease the guys that are forced to watch. As expected, Hayley loves "Glee". And I thought it was going to be another crap show that I avoid. And then they added cheerleaders who apparently wear their uniforms to school every day. And had a car wash while wearing knee socks, pleated skirts and bikini tops. Could be months before that scene works its way out of my memory.
Giggidy.
