Toilets(Tuesday)

Today I was looking at baby quail on the internet. Apparently, you can get quail eggs for very little off the internet, hatch the quail, and keep them in a pretty smal enclosure. But soon I was yanked away to go shopping for toilets. A full scale remodel is going in in mom's bathroom, with the floor being the crawlspace, the ceiling being the attic, and the walls being... bare walls. While one large remodel is going on in one bathroom, why not remodel the other one? It has got bumpy plastic floor and a four-gallon-per-flush toilet, anyway. So now, one bathroom is hardly a room anymore, one dosen't have much of a floor, and the other one dosen't have a lock.
We went to Granite Expo to look at some toilets. We got two, and then shoved the boxes in the back of the car. They wouldn't fit until the backseat was strait up. My sister who was also sitting back there moved into a vacant seat, but I got stuck in the back. While we tried to hurry to Alameda, the GPS directed us to Treasure Island, where it said there will be a left exit. But no such luck. Across the bay bridge and into San Francisco. Right when there is a lot of traffic going back. We tried to think of it as a gift, that we wouldn't gave seen that huge cargo ship if we had went the correct way. We went back across the bay bridge and, finally, onto Alameda. We piled out of the car, and I saw that I had not brought any yarn, knitting needles, or knitting, to the house of someone who would have known how to help. Oh, well.

  1. What would they have known to help with? Your scarf with the too many in the middle? Sounded like the great CIRCLE route but to where? Can I assume the toilets made it home with all of you and that you had an additionally unpleasant trip home sitting very up straight? Good for your posture :) - Grn
