about once or twice a month i go and get my favorite flamethrower curry dish

i like the spice, so there's red-like oil floating on the surface (usually pretty potent heat in it)

once i got the food home i had an accident and was covered in huge splatter of this hot curry gravy

unfortunately i was wearing one of my favorite mbe t-shirts

after cleaning the kitchen, i tried to save my threads, but it looks like it's done...

Removing and then replacing a 30 inch wide over the range (OTR) microwave.....    What a pain.

In the 21st century, in a country that likes to think of itself as the greatest in the world, electric service shouldn't be hung on poles where it is vulnerable to the weather. Just sayin'.

Discovering that you purchased regular vanilla yogurt and not Greek. 

The Makita hammer-drill is having trouble drilling screw holes into the concrete.     Oh, the 1st world misery of it all!  

Having the old-not-antique lamp on my bedside table fritz out this morning (and no, it's not just the bulb). It's an old-not-antique family thing and I will be sorry to lose it. Might see if I can take it somewhere to be fixed. It needs a new shade too.

Reminds me of an MA linguistics student in the late 1980s who had her entire thesis on one floppy.  It got destroyed.  It was over a 100 pages.  

The last couple of days it has been raining hard up here on the northern tip of the Sonoran Desert. (Though whether our region of sage brush steppe is actually part of the Sonoran Desert is subject to debate.)

Delayed garden and lawn irrigation by 2 days.

Yes.  We are slowly but steadily working on replacing all the Victorian lawn.  Bright green Victorian-style lawns in deserts and semi-arid sage brush steppe are not aesthetically appealing.

Left job on 7th floor but had to go back after five miles because I couldn't remember if I left a sweaty cup of water on a decorative table in rushing out
