That's good news if the plumber knows what you want re: the shutoffs and such. No one likes to stop what they're doing to run to the store, probably not even plumbers.

Waiting on my son's call - he's a late sleeper when he's not working or in school. I'll get my gardening materials set up, chances are good (Murphy's Law) that once I'm ready to start that he'll call and I'll have to drop what I'm doing.

I did read some of those lists in the last couple of days. Time for a few small things this morning - I tossed out the various sponges in play in the kitchen and bathrooms and replaced with fresh. I got out a new toothbrush, and need to buy a few more (spares for guests who forget theirs.) I suppose I could also change out razors, consolidate shampoo bottles, etc. I have a load of recycling ready to drop off, and I should finish the xmas light string cull and drop those off as well.

Martha Stewart's PBS cooking program this afternoon is making French Onion Soup. Crave crave crave . . . maybe I'll get a bowl after the phone shopping. There is a wonderful French restaurant near where we'll be going.
