and back to the mundane

I just went and bought a new toilet seat because my old one is so cheap that the cleaning solvents rub away at the white stuff and gradually expose more and more of the dark particle board beneath.

So I'm standing at Home Depot, staring at all these toilet seats hanging on the wall. They come in two sizes, round and elongated. The round ones looked too small for my memory of my toilet, so I bought one of the elongated ones.

I took it home and instantly realized that I, in fact, needed a round seat instead. So I'll have to go back and exchange it.

The moral of the story? Measure twice and buy once.
