O, le garbage!

I was going to work-from-home today, since M has Good Friday off from school and L has gone off to the Texas Folklore Society annual meeting with Mother and Chris.  However, that was before my keyboard decided the letter X wasn’t going to work any longer, despite disassembly and cleaning.  So instead, M and I drove up to Circulith so I could put in a day’s work from my desk at the Empire, and on the way home I stopped at Fry’s and spent $50 I didn’t really want to spend on a new M$ ergo keyboard.

And then we stopped at Joann’s, and got stared at like Martians when I asked for a darning egg, which they naturally failed to have any of.  (To make it worse, I had to explain what darning is.  To a fabric store clerk.  To two fabric store clerks.)
