It snowed today. It's supposed to be 19 tomorrow. WTF Toronto, go home you're drunk.
The new hot water tank was installed yesterday. It's very shiny and not rusty. More importantly, I was able to take a shower where the water stayed hot right up until the very end. Luxury!
I had a moment of concern when I asked the installers where they had put the old tank. "Oh it's gone to the scrapyard." Uh, it was a rental? And they might want it back? But I called the company that owned it and when they realized how old it was they went yeah, fair enough. So that's sorted.
Ex-housemate was in town for a couple of days dealing with medical stuff, so they came by today. They took away as much of their stuff as would fit in a backpack. They also dropped off a switch that lets me run multiple computers through a single monitor/keyboard/mouse setup, so that means I can pack away the jury-rigged setup I had on my desk for switching between my work and personal systems AND I can now use the unneeded peripherals to more comfortably set up streaming to my television. This is all somewhat self-indulgent compared to the rest of the work that needs to be done in the house, but I had a folding table set up behind my chair so I could switch back and forth between the computer that has all my receipts and the old Windows box that was the only one that could read my old tax forms so I could make sure everything was filed correctly and now I don't have to do that.
Now that I think about it, that also means I can play games again if I want to! I might make another attempt at WoW - the one time I tried I bounced off the racism pretty hard, but if I can find a start point that has slightly less of that maybe I can get to a level where some of friends are playing. (Insert your faction / server / guild recommendations here.)
The venerable Lord Brock was so happy to see the ex-housemate that he howled like an air-raid siren for an hour straight. I am convinced that cat is broken.
