This weekend was very busy. I read some articles, wrote a paper, read some more articles, looked up articles online, read those too...
Saturday afternoon I took a break from school things and headed over to the Home Despot. Strangely enough it was quite busy on a sunny Saturday afternoon in April. Who'd have thunk it? I went there in search of a new mailbox. The plastic flag had long since fallen off before I moved here, and this week the door broke, so every time the mail is delivered it falls off. It was definitely time for a new one, but I almost changed my mind when I saw the huge $70 ones for sale. Who pays that much for a mailbox? Luckily they had the small, plain $15 variety tucked away down the aisle.
So I thought to myself, "How hard can putting up a mailbox really be?" I unscrewed the old mailbox successfully, then discovered that the new one was smaller and wouldn't fit on the base. So I'd need a saw. Or four. ( Amateur carpentry time! )
Also, I tested out my new-old waffle iron this morning. I will be eating chocolate chip waffles for breakfast for the next few days because I made way too many for one person. Yum! There's also some Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream I picked up at Trader Joe's last night that's calling to me. End of semester stress requires lots of comfort food.
