I spent a good part of last night assembling some cabinents, drawers, and a workbench for my garage. $300 dollars for a full-height cabinent, two wall-mounted cabinets, a half-height base cabinet, a half-height four-drawer, and a workbench; a pretty good deal from Costco. Too bad the kit was missing two shelf-holders, and the doors to one of the cabinents was missing one of its hinges (the plastic was sheared off, apparently before it was packed, since I didn’t find any additional bits in the box).

It’s been a while since I’ve updated my journal, mostly because I’ve been insanely busy at work. So I thought I would jot down a few interesting things that have happened in the past week or so. I spent around $300 to get 2 custom-made suits (with two pairs of matching pants each), a sports coat, and several additional custom-made shirts and pants altered to fit the new me. This meant bringing in the waist by 3-4 inches and additional material out of the crotch of the pants, and bringing in the sides of the shirts and coats/sports jackets.

I’ve been away for the past 2.5 weeks, in Laguna Beach attending a family reunion combined with a cousin’s wedding, followed by a week staying with Stacey in the Bay Area. And as some of my gentle readers who live in the Northeast might know, it’s been a mite frosty in Boston this past week. So I came home to Medford last night, and found my house a wee bit chilly.
