Christmas in October

We went to Home Depot this weekend to check out paint chips for our upcoming bathroom redo. And what did we see there? Christmas trees.

In OCTOBER.

At least I can justify watching Bad Santa anytime I want between now and January...

Working from home advice

It turns out that when there's a plumber working in a) the bathroom, b) the bedroom whose closet contains the access panels to the pipework in that bathroom, and c) the basement, I'm pretty much forced to stay in the office and get work done. And since the water's off, I can't even use the bathroom. It's great for my productivity, but a bit too expensive to pull off on a regular basis.
