I ran away and left the Great Geezer to deal with the doors
and windows.
Before they began, he moved one typewriter desk into the
middle of the living room and went to work.
The poor guy was battered by continual inturruptions.
By the time I came back, most of the windows and doors were
installed but not finished. They had
installed trim molding as the threshold.
That upset the G a great deal.
I was very upset by the loss of light in both the kitchen
window and the upstairs bathroom window.
Poor G having to live with an “artiste.”
I will find a solution, but in the meantime, we have two rooms that are
dark holes of calcutta’s.
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. I will find a way to live in the dark and
hide the blackness.
Two nights. The Power
will be off all day tomorrow. G can work
just as well at the Ramada as camped out
in a corner of the living room. As my
sense of humor returns, I was reminded that this too will pass until I found my flat files in water. I confess that I found a great many thing to throw away so in the end I feel slightly heroic. Who knew. Now I am thinking of giving Lessa my old sofa. Who knew.
That looks like a very big project to have been thrust on you so quickly. I would no doubt dissolve into tears amid the chaos and work.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot to deal with all at once. Hope your stay at the Ramada is good. Thinking good thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of giving Hannah my old sofa. Gosh great minds think alike. I am in love with my new "moderne" leather chair.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll replace the sofa with two of those wasily chairs. The sofa is nothing but a big doggie bed anyway. HaHa, I forgot I made you and G sit on it. What kind of friend am I?
The Economist magazine has a very nice and objective article on MT this week. And no, it is not a right-wing rag as some (one of my profs) think.
I had to laugh, the prof told the class how she sneaked and looked at her roommate's copy. Its NOT porn you know. Dianne
PS Re Good Reads. Lots of fun for those who like challenges. GR has a location on their site loaded with code you put in a widget on your Wordpress site. Which code you use is up to you. I experiemented to find mine. The code connection updates your blog page whenever you add or finish a book.
ReplyDeleteAs you are so much more computer savy than me, I know you can figure out which line of code and which widget to use. Dianne
PPS thanks for the poetry tip.
Darker is not better, except it hides all the dust and dirt! It also will keep your home more climate constant. Just keep telling yourself that change tests your will but does not kill you and move on.
ReplyDeleteThe trade off between more darkness and better heat/or a/c can be difficult to accept. But when you are warm this winter or cooler this summer and your utility bills are lower; you might be able to accept it.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm getting a headache just thinking about all you're going through. Good for you for keeping your sense of humor.
