I wasn't entirely unproductive today, though... I wanted to get a new washer for the toilet and a new aerator for the kitchen sink, but I didn't realize that the washers aren't sold separately - they're actually part of the line from the valve to the inlet. So I need to drain the tank (mainly to force myself to go through with the whole thing), remove the line (assuming I can remove it from the valve... I expect to need a wrench AND pliers for that one), and take the appropriate measurements so I can get the right line. On the plus side, I can get a good quality line, I have the option of getting a new valve as well that says it will stop the pipes from rattling (that would be great, assuming it actually manages to work), and I did get that aerator. It's nice to be able to turn on the sink and not have water spewing everywhere. It comes out more slowly than I'm used to, because I got one of those low-flow aerators, but it went on easily and does its job, and that's hard to argue with. One of these days, I might even try fixing the sink in the guest bathroom. That one might just need tightening, but I could probably replace that line as well, assuming I get this first one done properly. So... take the rest of the three-day weekend to give that a try, or wait until another time?
I also got new shoes because my old ones have holes in them. Didn't think it was worth mentioning.

I need to get in the habit of writing these crazy ideas down more often.
There's no way I could write an actual story for this, or even make it make sense, so I'm just going to type a few sentences, call it done, and hope…

Tell me whether you see this one coming
I had a thought this morning that I thought would make a great idea for the next chapter of QEFEFZ, which will eventually be more than just a random…
