no one's in the house, everyone is out

J and T spent last night at his sister's place and had planned to be back here tonight with us.  However, they stopped by shortly after I got home from work and said they were staying at his sister's place again tonight so that J could drive T to the airport more easily (she lives minutes from it) to catch his flight home.  So far, J is a pretty easy houseguest!  

Unfortunately I bought too much food for dinner tonight (fuss fuss) but this means I'll have lunches for the rest of the week, or that J will have something to eat when he gets back from his sister's tomorrow.  He said that he wants to spend the day here tomorrow so he can unpack his belongings a bit and get himself sorted out.

Our wonderful plumber came by this afternoon to install one of the three new toilets we bought.  He knew we were on a bit of a timeline because of having J here and was kind enough to fit us in to his busy schedule.  It's a wonderful thing knowing a great plumber.

I used to write poetry sometimes.  Why am I now talking so much about toilets?
