Shit to buy:

1. A fuse. Apparently you can't use a treadmill and run a space heater in an adjoining room at the same time. (I was drying my clothes.) While I'm at my parents, blowing a fuse just means giving up on the workout and coming out to blog (at least until my dad wakes up). But at my other apartment, it means the whole place has no power. So I need to buy a fuse, and also locate the fuse box. (I know, it's ridiculous not to know these things, but I do know how to turn off the water, so that's something.)
2. Batteries. I used the last ones to replace the worn-out ones in the remote, and I can just see my alarm clock going dead one night at 10.
3. Ice. Margarita Sunday depleted my stock, and I never think to buy soda the weekend before I run out, so it's always warm when I want to drink it. I saw this thing that chills wine really quickly, and how awesome would that be? After I win the lottery, that's on my list of useless crap to have.
4. A portable generator. So you guys don't have to suffer through posts like this every time I can't do something else.
