telophase | Apr. 20th, 2015

Went shopping for housewares on Friday night and started to buy all the things but a storm broke so we went home after only purchasing some of the things. Saturday morning we went out shopping for all the things and after buying all the things went to buy all the groceries but had to go to THREE DIFFERENT GROCERY STORES because the first two did not have dulce de leche. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE and they shall not be hearing of it because I can't be bothered to complain.

And then we went home and Toby set to hanging, installing, cleaning and otherwise taking care of all the things while I made a cake inspired by Girl Scout cookies (the ones known as Caramel De-Lites in this area of the country and still known as Samoas in other areas...it depends on the bakery that makes them, it seems).
( more in this vein plus a funny/pathetic cat story )

I ended up working from home today because my low tire pressure light came on as I was driving away from the house this morning. I turned around and went back home to check on it and...there's a screw in one of the tires and it's really low. My car is one of those newfangled ones where they don't give you a spare or a donut, but instead a fix-a-flat type tire kit (bah!), so we get to utilize that tonight then drive somewhere to get the tire fixed. (THEORETICALLY they can pump that stuff out of the inner tube, sez the internet, but I'm suspecting a new inner tube may be in our future.)

In other news, for some reason we haven't seen any sparrows, finches, or juncoes at the bird feeders for a couple of weeks now. The cardinals come through, an occasional pigeon does, and of course he squirrels show up, but none of the smaller birds. I'm wondering if we've got a hawk camping out nearby.
