the Moon is In Ca-Ca Pt 2: 3 Days Later

i've heard that my fans have missed me the last few days, so here's an update.
things are looking less bleak:

• the plumber is coming tomorrow to fix the tub so we can take a bath and will return monday to mount the toilet and the sink.
• Haier is processing the refund (does it really take 45 business days to write a check? i don't think so).
• the computer is still inoperable, but the huz finished his work and is not taking a much needed 6 week sabbatical* during which we're sending the computer back to HP to be serviced. in the interim i broke down and upped my cell plan to include web access so i can check Facebook. i'm really not looking forward to having to re-organize my iTunes library but c'est la vie.

*which means he can call his afternoons, evenings and weekends his own again (so he can go to the gym or wii fit or take a nap) and i can come home to Wii Fit without not worrying about starting dinner, doing dishes, etc. it also means he'll be considerably less stressed and infinitely less tense.
