Duh

Today's realization is that everything is closed on Labour Day. I would have known this, normally, except that my schedule is so damned weird that I kind of forgot it was a national holiday.

Gah. So much for furniture and appliance shopping today. I am going to try and reserve a car for tomorrow afternoon and maybe get all my stuff done then.

In the meantime, my uncle has lent me his drill, so I will be installing curtain rods tonight. I was also going to install towel racks in the bathroom (apparently I'm the only one in this building who uses towel racks: what on earth do other people hang their towels on?), but Canadian Tire was also closed (shock!) so I couldn't purchase any.

Later this afternoon I am going to acquire a stove from [livejournal.com profile] toughlovemuse, who is a pearl among women, and of course [livejournal.com profile] chibipunkdemon who is co-owner of the stove at present.

I really hope I can get a car for tomorrow. It would really suck if I couldn't get anything done in my week off work.

I should do some unpacking before I go off to get my U-Haul truck.

I also just picked five really awesome tomatoes from the garden. Just like that. :D

Sing it, sister. No rest for the wicked, which means no rest for the forces of law & order, either. :)

Seriously, can't the bad guys just take a day off every now and then?

And fire, too. Fire has to take a day off on the same day as the bad guys.

I don't answer for medical, but I guess I'll ask the serious illnesses and injuries to take a day off, too, to show solidarity with my EMD brethren.
