Next

I have officially enrolled in my next Hillsdale College course -- The History Of Classical Music:  Pythagoras through Beethoven.  

Much more my speed than chemistry.  Oh, and I found the study guides, too.  If only I'd found them before I did the chemistry course, it might not have made me cry so much.  But then, I didn't really need them for my course on A Christmas Carol, or Colonial America, so I didn't even think to look for them then.   But I know they're there now, so we're good to go. 

There are also additional videos for additional information on some of the lessons, which I also didn't know about.  I went back and watched the ones for the course on A Christmas Carol, but haven't watched the others yet.  I'll get to them eventually. 

In other news, I broke down and called the plumber again.  He told me he'd try to come out today, but couldn't promise, so I got to spend the whole day waiting.  To see if he'd show up.  Which, as of this writing, he hasn't.  It's after 5:00 PM, so I don't really expect him to come today.  I guess he was too busy playing on Facebook to need my money.  And he took his daughter hunting, which I wouldn’t have had a problem with if he’d just said “Let’s schedule this for tomorrow “ or something, instead of just leaving me hanging like he did. As much as I've recommended him to others, I'd have expected a little more consideration.  

I won't be recommending him any more, that's for sure. 

You know, crap like this is why I can't seem to get my act together.  This is twice I've called him and both times he's put me off.  I think if he doesn't show up tomorrow, I'll try to find someone else.  And I'd thought he was a good guy.  I guess I thought wrong. 

So, while I was spending the day waiting for a plumber who had no intention of showing up, I did piddle in the yard a bit.  I had to dig up --yes, more -- spider lilies that the landscammer didn't.  Oh, more bad news.  My lawn staples didn't arrive either.  They've been delayed.  Hopefully, they'll get here tomorrow. 

Now that I know the plumber isn't coming, I think I'll go take a shower and do...something.  I don't know what, but it won't involve waiting.
