I have to eat! Remember, takeout requires more mental space for me than most. Too many choices. I can't handle anything more complex than "frozen lasagna or salad" these days....

Plus, I am about to run out of catfood. And dishsoap. First is more critical.

eta: sorry about the games, David.

OK, OK. You do what you've gotta do.

Happy Birthday, Beth!

I was very efficient and got stuff done today, but now I am supposed to be vacuuming and putting dishes away, and instead I am not doing anything, and then maybe watching movies.

Aw sara, I wish I could send DH to help you with the painting. He rocks ceilings with ease.

I got a lot of garden-related stuff done, as well as picking up dry-cleaning and getting a pedicure. None of which gets my freelance job done, so I guess I'll be doing that tomorrow. It was just too pretty to spend all day working on the computer.

He rocks ceilings with ease.

Ha. Because he's closer to them?

I got a little bit of garden stuff done, too. Ooh. That reminds me, I'd better go turn off the water barrel.

Oh! Oh! I didn't tell you guys yet. My water is back clean! Yayay!

Turns out there was a leak in one of the wells which let the contamination leach in. So they emptied it and fixed it and cleaned it out and flushed it while the other two wells kept giving us water. They flushed all the lines (that was exciting and made us want to plant grass seed in our neighbor's yard which had the water just running out in it) and retested, and everything's clear now.

Whew.

It took a week. We flushed out all our lines, too, and ran a bunch of hot water to clear the hot water heater. Wish we had the tankless. But now I think we're good, and I'm totally taking a shower as soon as the Blackhawks game is over.

Happy Birthday beth!

The cleaning I did was good, but it was cleaning that left things on my bed and sheets not put back on and well, I am tired and the bed is a mess.

sara, sounds like a very good day.

Yay water!

Oh my god, I'm getting sore. It started setting in as I was sitting to eat.

I'm going to hate tomorrow.

Why did I think this was a good idea again??

Oh, and I decided to read a Nora Roberts to unwind. And it centers around...rehabbing a farmhouse.

Yeah, I keep thinking "I need to replace that missing moulding around the baseboard in the living room" and "the floor refinishing was really half-assed and that's going to annoy me, but someday I will redo it" and "fuck. The kitchen. The sink needs to be reseated because I don't think it has a seal where it meets counter. Dumbass seller. Maybe Ill just replace the whole sink and someday when I revisit the kitchen, I'll reuse the sink" and "crap, I wanted to paint the new balcony door tomorrow, but I can't if it is raining" and amending my Home Despot list for tomorrow.

Not the mindless other world I was hoping for.

For me that's Jamie Harrison's "Blue Deer, Montana" mysteries. Sheriff Jules Clement is a big woobie.
