Home improvement can be a real pain in the ass. Buying new tools makes it fun again!
Today’s project involves removing baseboard trim that was installed before the hardwood floor. (who does that?!) It’s nearly impossible to remove, so we’re going to cut it out so it’s even with the floor instead, and install new trim the right way.
It snowed today.
Well, they were really flurries but still, it snowed today. I believe that this is the earliest snow I have ever seen in southern New England.

i have flossed very regularly since my previous dental cleaning six months ago – at least twice a week, every week. I have never flossed regularly before. I always brush, but I never really flossed because I was lazy.
I had another cleaning today, and for the first time ever my teeth don’t feel funny.
I rate this experience 9/10, will floss again.
