The leak in my window

The kitchen window is leaking.  Not a tragedy by any stretch of the imagination (it’s just a leak, not a 100 foot high tsunami wave), but it’s really a pain in the butt.  The home warranty is still in effect and a repair guy is coming over tomorrow at 8am, so we spent the evening cleaning and preparing the house for the intrusion of strangers.  I didn’t have to wash the floor as there’s no point with the yard still full of water and the rain still pouring down, but I would say we cleaned and vacuumed and scrubbed about 50% of the house.  Whenever we do this we always think, Wow, we should clean the entire house more often, but that enthusiasm never actually manifests itself.

My new computer arrived today but I was so preoccupied with the window issue that all I did was unpack the new monitor and carry it upstairs.  The new 19”, flat-panel LCD monitor—it’s very cool.  Tomorrow I will bid goodbye to my 17” flat screen monitor which the dog used as a scratching post.  It will be a few days before I hook up the new CPU, though—it’s exciting to have, but a major effort to transfer all my files.  I’ll save the task for a rainy day, which we’re supposed to have until well into next week.  No New Year’s Eve fireworks would be fine with me, as I wouldn’t have to contend with a terrified German Shepherd, so once the window is fixed it can rain all it wants.

I’m intrigued by the fact that no matter how much I write about my dead cat, the Adsense ads on the side of the page only display ads for “chocolate”.  If you type the phrase “dead cat” into Google you’ll see a number of paid ads returned in the search results, including one which promises that you can buy a dead cat on eBay.
