Playing Catch Up

[kybearfuzz]

Nothing like a busy week at the office where nothing is getting finished, but lots of little things being worked on at one time. I really wanted to draw a cartoon to post, but I've hit another block of sorts and I think the motivation is wrong. Since I've been home, I've done a lot and see a lot of things needing done.

• Mom called yesterday after work to let me know my uncle had "brain surgery" yesterday as she called it. Luckily, he's doing fine. Last week, he told Mom that he wanted to see me about something. While I have always enjoyed my uncle's company, I can't say we've been overly close over the years (he has 15 nieces and nephews) so I'm wondering what's up.
  
  
• I've seen four movies since being home -- Jennifer's Body, Pandorum, Zombieland and Whip It. The first three were okay. Whip It is the only one I'd really recommend. Such an excellent flick. I love Ellen Page. While girl-on-girl lovin' does absolutely nothing for me, girl-on-girl violence makes me happy. And it's roller derby, the kitsch factor writes itself.
  
  
• The bathroom exhaust fan is on the blink and I need to replace it. Of course, they no longer make the size of my 30-year-old model, so I have to buy a slightly bigger one to install, cut the ceiling open a bit more, etc. I dread it. I am simply not Mr. Fixit. My fear of burning the house down has resurfaced for some reason.

Maybe I'll do some drawing later tonight. :)

I managed to fix the toilet today. Working with water makes me nervous; it can get really messy really fast. Personally, I prefer working with the wiring. It's cleaner, and the results are pretty cut-and-dry: It works, or it doesn't. If I can work with water, you can deal with electricity.

Working on the plumbing is something I don't panic too much about, but I've had a bit of experience doing the minor style repairs to the toilet, faucets, etc.

For some reason, working with electricity frazzles me. Getting shocked or catching the house on fire is a big worry.
