I went to the church this morning and got the bills paid. It went smoothly. I still have to do some more financial work maybe tomorrow or Thursday. I got a couple things fixed that were driving me buggy. When my new front door was installed last year, the two locks were installed so that I had to use the key one way for the deadbolt and then turn the key upsidedown to unlock the doorknob. I got out the screwdriver, took the doorknob off, turned it over, and screwed it back in. It will be much easier to open the door, especially when carrying a bunch of stuff.

The coocoo clock stopped running so I took it down and looked inside. I didn't see anything obvious except when I took the pendulum off it ran fine. I think it was not level. I screwed the screw it was hanging in closer to the wall and hung the clock back up. It ran fine without the pendulum but when I put it on, the clock stopped. I got out the level and I also got a couple thing to shim it from the wall. It seems to be running fine now.

After dinner, I went to the kitchen to load the dishwasher and get it started. When I came back to the livingroom, there was a pile of ice from my iced tea on the sofa. Sparky likes ice chips and he had climbed onto the coffee table and one by one took the ice in my glass onto the sofa. I had to clean up that mess before I could sit down. I know better than to leave food on the coffee table but I never gave it a thought about my iced tea. I'm glad he didn't knock it over on my tablet. He kept jumping up on the sofa when I was trying to change the sheet and mattress pad. I use them to protect the sofa from him. I was upset with him and kept yelling at him to get down. He finally got the hint and ran into the bedroom. I think he was upset that I yelled at him. He looked like he was pouting.
