March 10-- Ever since this stinking, freezing winter began we haven't had any water pressure in our downstairs bathroom. Being the procrastinator that I am, I finally called a plumber.

Last night I received a call from their service operator informing me that the plumber would be here today. Sometime between NOON and FOUR.

So today, I'm stuck in the house again. Waiting and waiting and waiting, then waiting some more.

I'm illustrating a new book right now. I'm going to be speaking with the author later today and when he asks me when I should have things wrapped up I'm going to say, "Sometime between NOW and 2094." That would certainly make my life much easier.

The kids really want to go to Disney World too. We're trying to put something together for this summer, but we're juggling a lot right now. So, the next time my 3 year old runs into the room with his mouse ears on, wanting to know when we're going I'm just going to say, "Don't worry! We're going to Disney World-- sometime between THIS WEEKEND and your 100th BIRTHDAY."

Yep, this new way of scheduling is going to eliminate a lot of stress in my life.

So, I'll wait for the plumber to show up whenever it's convenient for him. It will be nice to have water pressure again.
And, when he's finished and asks for the check, I'm just going to say, "Oh, you'll get it..sometime between tomorrow and February 2009!"

I hope you survive Another Day In The Gray.
