that was a lot of procrastination, or the cobbler's children get shod

the cobbler's children go shoeless.

i finally got the electrical work related to my porch finished. which means the electrical inspector can do a final electrical inspection on it, which means the building inspector can sign off on the porch.

just under the wire, as i think the permit expires in late march.

NOT THAT I WAS PROCRASTINATING. oh, wait, that's exactly what i was doing.

i have to say, it felt nice to finally check that off of my list of crap i've been delaying.

soapy peeve

years ago, i became fond of kirk's castile soap (caution - that link annoyingly tries to resize your browser window). clauclauclaudia has also realized the excellence that is kirk's soap. but all of the places i'd been buying it have stopped carrying it.

*shake fist*

DAMN YOU, SOAP! i have to seek out new places to buy it. it popped up briefly at the trader joe's on mem drive, but they've stopped. they didn't have it at the portah stah maahket last time i checked, either. harrumf. not even the hippies over at the harvest coop had it.

in the mean time, i've picked up a couple of bars of bronner's unscented castile soap as a possible alternative.
