annathepiperDude, I am .2 miles away from Rauros Falls! I think I'm going to scamper off to Isengard next, and follow the pretty half of the Fellowship. Frodo can damn well trudge off to Mordor by himself, and besides, Sam would kill me if I tried anything.
Meanwhile, I went to MurkSouth last night to attempt to change the locks on the Admiralty space, since we have a new guy moving in tomorrow night.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarbird is not back up to speed yet for handling landlady foo, so I get to do that for her till she feels better. So this involved me having to take four locks off three doors, take them down to a nearby key place, and have them redo the locks. That part was quick and painless (even if I screwed up how many keys should be used for how many of these locks), but getting the locks back on the doors, not so much. I had the damndest time of it until I figured out that I had reversed which screws went into which locks on the front door. It would have been nice if I could have figured that out before I got myself irritated enough by constantly dropping the screws in the fading light that I started growling and snarling out loud!
I was pretty cranky by the time I got home around 10pm, too, and Dara, bless her heart, came up and hugged me as soon as she heard me snarling my way into the kitchen. So I hugged her for a bit and complained about my general lock ineptitude, and was reassured that things will probably be okay with the locks--that before Dara had started messing with them, there'd been four different keys for these locks, and reducing them to two is actually a good thing. And that also, the doorknob on the front door of the space was already upside down, so no, I didn't break that. Whew.
So then I had a Mike's hard apple, and hugged Dara some more, and then had a nice hot bath and washed some clothes and went to bed. Where more Dara hugging occurred, and I had the best sleep I'd had in days even if there still wasn't quite enough of it.
In other news, rumors are flying around the OKP that GBS will be putting out another concert DVD, to be entitled "Courage and Patience and Grit: Great Big Sea in Concert", with a show filmed during the Hard and the Easy Tour. Rumored release date is November 21. Must. Have. DVD. NOW. And I am also counting down the days until the release ofrachelcaine's fifth Weather Warden book, as well as the next Carbon Leaf album, Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat!
And today I must go to the Polyclinic and have my thyroid levels checked again, since I think they may have gone wonky over the last couple of weeks. I mention this mostly because I am looking forward to the walk. After two weeks of sitting around Harborview, my legs need to be reminded of their daily exercise!

Date: 2006-08-30 05:14 pm (UTC)I've actually been walking for far longer than that--Dara and I have historically walked and bussed for our commutes. I've only been tracking since last year, though!

Sam may let you do something if you have strawberry bubble bath, or something from Elrond's personal collection. Don't take anything from Legolas' collection, though, for he may not play very nicely. :)
