Playing catch-up

vanillafluffyYesterday before I left to take the car to the garage AGAIN, I posted another 4.1 fic, because I knew coming home to a stack of comments would make me feel better, and it did. (Feel free to comment! Comment early, comment often!)
GarageGuy tinkered with the beast for about 40 minutes, said short of tearing it down and cleaning the fuel system (+$100), it was the best he could do. (No charge.) It's not fixed, it's still trying to cut out and I'm having to park it on the flat rather than in the driveway, but it's chugging along, and I know how to pop the clutch when it stalls out.
Today, I got GK's tape mailed---priority, so she should have it on Friday, and with tracking, because I'm a professional, and I know that shipping without tracking is a total crap-shoot.
Went rummaging in my trunk for something, and came across TWO unopened 2-liter bottles of diet cola. Caffeinated. Am hanging onto them for medicinal purposes.
Was annoyed by the impromtu economics lesson that delayed the Criminal Minds season premiere, but amused myself with thoughts of cleaning up The Prez's unibrow. Duct tape, anyone? (Plus? Looking at the doorway behind him, I kept wishing I had the software to do a manip and insert that bit from Risky Business so Tom Cruise would go sliding past in one ear and out the other.)
Oh, and the new Knight Rider is gonna be fun. KITT's a Cobra Mustang? Hell yes, fuck me now! It's hot!
I have mowing scheduled for tomorrow. Not the GFS---someone I know through church who speaks English. Now maybe I'll get those blasted hanging branches trimmed. At the very least, I won't have to worry about getting persecuted by code enforcement in the near future. At this time of year, I figure one, maybe two mowings and I can leave it alone til spring.
I need to take a dish in for potluck at work on Friday. I'm thinking bean and corn salad. (It's fast, and I have everything on hand.) That's one day I won't have to worry about packing lunch!
