Between the heat, humidity and just-about-constant sorting stuff, there hasn’t been much free time to sit at the computer and blog about anything remotely interesting.  Or even to blog about anything boring.

Speaking of boring…

I killed my keyboard Tuesday.  Banjo Man came into my office to ask if I was going to varnish the coffee table that morning (he’s very anxious to finish decorating the living room) and I said it was too humid.  And just so he wouldn’t continue to argue, I pointed out that we didn’t have mineral spirits with which to clean the brush, even if I was foolish enough to risk bugs sticking to the top of the table.

And he suggested I varnish the table anyway and just throw the brush away.

Gasp!!! Throw a thirteen-dollar special varnish brush away???!!!

I then spilled my coffee all over the keyboard.  And drowned the mouse, too.

Yesterday I bought brush cleaner, a new keyboard, a new mouse, 2 small, old pie plates shaped like pumpkins, flounder and celery. I donated 100+ paperbacks and 3 bags of clothing to charity, set up a time to bring stuff to one of the local consignment stores, returned books to the library (no time to read!), mailed 7 packages at the Post Office, checked out freezers at Home Depot, washed 4 loads of vintage curtains and drove to the middle of nowhere to look at a freezer advertised on Craigslist for $100.

Today I exchanged the keyboard and the mouse for different models, tried the new peach sundae at Burger King, bagged stuff for the Salvation Army, discovered a possible treasure while cleaning my closet (a story for another time), baked the fish and made 8 chicken pot pies.

Tomorrow I varnish.

Riveting, isn’t it?

Are you Idaho folks sure you still want me to blog from Rhode Island?????
