It was a looooong week.
I was busy as fuck at work, my finger was painful as all hell, and I ended Friday evening with 9 hours overtime for the week so far. And I am also "on call" this weekend.
Heading home last night I stopped off at a pharmacy retailer and bought a finger splint and some bandage. Splinting the finger straight has helped the pain a lot, but I am not able to do most of the things with my hand that I could. And if I get a callout I'll take it off so I can work, but so far it's helping a lot.
The fridge is giving shit too now, it's starting to freeze up the stuff inside the fridge. My limited knowledge of refrigeration (as does a quick visit to the university of google

) tells me that the refrigerant is getting low and the fridge needs to have gas added. This is a very old fridge, and it probably (likely) has the old-type gas that isn't allowed anymore, so getting a tech out that would be prepared to gas it up is a problem. Best solution is a new fridge. I'm checking the smalls on Craigslist several times a day, but nothing has come up yet. I proper new one is just out of the budget. But we remain hopeful the old one will hold out until we find a newer one.
I went over to a friend's house today, his water pump was giving him issues, but it was a very simple fix. Quick, easy, and no parts needed. Back home I mowed the grass, but elected to leave the weed eating for next week. We have some pretty stiff winds blowing from Tropical Storm Humberto, and lots of spotty rain showers passing through, but that should clear by tomorrow afternoon when Humberto fucks off North and East into the Atlantic as a Cat 2 Hurricane. The weather service is tracking two systems in the mid Atlantic that have a good chance of developing into something next week, so we'll keep an eye on them.
Tomorrow afternoon we will head over a work colleague who is also a registered Tax expert to see if we can get our taxes finally sorted out. We should have filed earlier in the year, but got an extension as Mrs Zog was waiting for a determination on her company tax ruling that she finally got last week. Hopefully we can get a bit of a break from the IRS.
I've finally managed to get the black dog off my back, it's still hanging around, but I'm threatening it with a shotgun now

If it doesn't fuck off completely I'll blow it's nuts off and then we'll se who is boss

Thanks for reading y'all
