Note to self:  Never post on the blog “problem solved” about home improvement projects until the problem is, indeed, solved.  I went to the hardware store; picked up the part I needed, came home to fix the sink, and couldn’t do it.  I understand exactly how it’s supposed to work, I just couldn’t do it.  It required hand tightening a screw.  I’m not sure if it’s my lack of male genetalia, or the fact that I’ve been a hairstylist for more than a decade (causing tendonitis) and my grip isn’t what it used to be, but at any rate, I’m back to square one on the sink stopper issue (it’s back on the list for someone else to help me with).

The lilacs are blooming!  They are so beautiful. I walked out of my back door last night and I felt like I ran into their fragrance like a wall.  There aren’t quite as many blooms as I thought there would be, I think they’re gonna need a little pruning this year, and then, lookout!  Next year, baby!  My mom told me to make sure I buy good quality clippers for them, and I think she’s preaching to the choir.  If anyone knows the importance of quality tools for the job you’re doing, it’s me.

Also, Arthur still needs some adjusting to the new house, he still pukes on a regular basis.  I’m not sure if this is a real problem, or just nerves, but I’m gonna give it a couple more days to decide before I take him to the vet.

I, however, am doing great.  I seem to be sleeping really well here.  I have slept for over seven nights in a row for at least 8 hrs a night.  That hasn’t happened since Sawan was alive.  So, wow.  I feel like a million bucks.  It’s amazing to have people ask me how I’m doing and to be able to say “good.”  Not “hanging in there” or “allright.”  I’m actually really doing good.  It’s awesome.
