Small emergency

Well, not really. My computer had been acting funny for a couple of weeks so I took it in. It was diagnosed with "swollen battery." Seems the chemicals in it had begun to ferment, it swelled up and was pressing on the underside of the keyboard/trackpad. Quickly fixed -- for a princely sum (sigh).

The plumbers are still working on Amy's new sewer line. It's nearly done but they've been coming about 4-5pm after handling emergencies from all the rain we had last week. They're here right now and should be getting the monster machine out of the front yard and get the fence put back together. Then they have to remove a couple of bushes, including the amazingly thorny hawthorne.

The dog we're keeping (Freya) had a visit from her human, which she loved. However, then he left, and Amy had to go to work, so I got the deal with the forlorn canine. Much whimpering, moaning, barking -- for about six hours. Eventually she settled back down. I told Amy to tell him not to come visit again; the aftermath is too much trouble.

Then we're planning a yard sale.

The fun never stops.
