Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am not feeling as terrible as Jesse I suspect, but I woke up with a headache in both the front and back of my head, and way too much work to ignore it and go back to bed. My husband went back to bed, of course, but sleeping is his superpower.
My kids have become that cliche of the kids who are addicted to technology. They get up extra early in the am to steal whatever tech they can find and bring it to their rooms. So now I've confiscated computers and phones (our phones mind you, they don't have phones yet). Sigh. She wants a phone of her own for middle school, but clearly that can't happen until she withstand the temptation of YouTube at 6 o'clock in the morning.
On the plus side, they are playing beautifully right now and don't seem bereft of their tech at all.
I'd blame DST, but really, I've been awake on and off for the past 6 hours and that's mostly the cats' fault. The harder Loki tries to wake me up, the harder I try to not be awake.
It's not terribly restful.
Need to tame my hair (which looks like it has been styled by a manic pixie cat, because it has) and wander around the corner to the open house.
And clean. I brought the vacuum downstairs. That's a start, right?
I just made some kale-sausage soup I've been to do all week, and that may be my accomplishment for the day.
To me, it's not a cabin if it's easy to see other cabins/houses. Also, I don't see a fireplace in that one, which is also a cabin-defining component.
In Lower Michigan, every lake (and there are LOTS of them) is surrounded by cabins, so finding one that isn't in view of other cabins is highly unlikely. And many were only intended for summer use so lack a fireplace (besides, that's how raccoons get in) although some have wood burning stoves. I would expect Wisconsin is similar. Anything more remote and winterized was probably built to be a hunting lodge.
4 couples came through while I was there, and I was able to answer questions for all of them. Whee!
Realtor is one who had another open house a few months ago, he remembered me. Hee.
So freaking tired already and there is so much to do. I'm basically hanging in the living room and directing CJ, jumping in to help here and there. Why so tired?
Tired from yesterday! And the day before that, and the day before that, I'm sure.
So I saw that Pivot is playing Friday Night Lights season 1, so I'm finally watching it! It's funny putting all the pieces together, because I know so many of the names and a little about the characters and etc. Also, that Gaius Charles is basically unrecognizable from Grey's Anatomy.
Because you have a done a ton of stuff lately?
I have no inclination to do laundry today. Truth be told, I have no inclination to do much of anything today, but laundry is the thing that seems most in need of doing.
First floor done. Will leave second until after swim. Which I ought to go do soon.
I did some stain samples last night and am trying to get good pictures, but the colors come out all wrong. I know one is a definite no. The other 3? Ahrg. One might be too brown, but might warm up if I use a warmer varnish (which I don't have, will have to get and try.)
But, there is so much more to do.
