Woke up too early: 5:00ish. Ate leftovers from House of Chen. Patrick woke up. We heard dull, rhythmic pounding from somewhere this morning, and I eventually discovered that the plumbing guys were here today digging up the sidewalk between our house and the street. Somehow I must have misunderstood Georges about the day the plumbers were coming (today not last Saturday). They started around 9:30 AM and we were told we can't let water drain anywhere from 12:00 NOON to 1:00 PM. I went back to bed around the same time and woke up around 2:00 PM. Patrick had taken off to Jumpin Java to work. I went outside to see if the guys were done and they said they needed about 30 more minutes. There was a huge hole in the ground and a few pipes laying about here and there, some long, some small. Archived thank you cards. Made a fruit smoothie with milk, sugar, apple, plum, pear, banana. Cleaned out folders in my Yahoo! e-mail account. I just noticed today the keyboard shortcuts in Yahoo! Mail. Cool! At 3:45 PM I went outside to check with the plumbing guys and they said it's okay to use the water again. I did dishes and cleaned countertops in the kitchen. Showered. Dinner at home with Patrick: pork chops and quesadillas. Watched cooking shows.
