Yay for finding a place!Weird thing about Danish stores, they have put some Halloween candy and decorations out, but they've got as much or more Christmas stuff out at the same time. It's kind of strange to pass some spooky candy and pumpkins and then there's the advent calendars and the Santa marshmallows.
Yeah, there's a warehouse store in my area that had the Christmas stuff out like a week before the Halloween stuff. And now all the candy is on the same isle, which is indeed weird.
Very nice new cover!I'm getting ready to re-release Legacy of Hunger with it's pretty new cover.
Not silly at all. Earlier this year we got a letter saying something along the lines that the government had messed up our 2017 taxes and we were going to get the refund now that we'd missed out on then. My parents were giggling and dancing in the car. We got weird looks at stoplights.I just got a message I'm getting a lot more back from my taxes than I anticipated. Sure, I'll only get it back right before New Year, which is as long as they're legally allowed to hang on to it. But hey, I know it's coming.
And I almost cried and felt silly about it but then I realised how actually starved of good news I have been lately. Probably ain't the only one. Hugs to all.
Morning, Cantina. Saturday night into Sunday I didn't sleep very well for physical reasons, but have since caught up on my sleep and feel a lot better.
The vet's office is totally booked, so da beagle hasn't been seen yet. We have to call every morning to see if there are cancelations. Thankfully, cleaning his ear every night seems to be helping a lot in managing the itch in the meanwhile.
Tomorrow we're getting the well pump replaced. It's as old as the house, which is 23 years old, and has been showing signs of wear. Namely, we noticed the water has been cloudy and yellowish lately despite our filter, so we had the system inspected and the guy said this is a typical sign that the pump needs replacing, and it's right around the age that they tend to start breaking down. We figured we'd go on and get it taken care of rather than wait until it breaks entirely and we don't have water. The guy said we don't have very good water pressure, either, so when we get the new pump that should be better, too, among other things that the fancy new systems take care of that the ones from the 90's didn't.
TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if they replace the thing and find that the dude who built the house originally used the cheapest one possible or something like that. Over the years, it's come to light that he cut corners in several ways that my parent didn't know about back then. (I was only 5 when we moved here, so I was blissfully unaware of such things. ) Like setting the front steps on cardboard instead of concrete, and setting the back steps on literally nothing but dirt, both of which weren't discovered until we had them replaced years later. Amazing how "little details" like that affect how sturdy your steps feel when you go down them...
