Relative Something

Thank goodness that Monday has arrived and I can go to the day-job so I can get some rest. I worked all weekend on final preparations to have the house ready for the drywall professionals to fix our ceilings and clean up a few dings in the walls. They start today. Luckily, yesterday I had the services of Julian for the whole day to help accomplish the bulk of the work. What a blessing his assistance was!

After we got things pretty much under control, we took advantage of the nice weather and washed our cars in the driveway. I took a moment or two to rake up the winter’s worth of leaves that had taken up residence along the edges of the street around our lot. I’ll be doing double duty now that it’s time for yard work again. If we are going to be showing the house to prospective buyers, I will need to maximize the curb-appeal. I have work to do inside and outside now!

By the end of the day, we had cleaned out a lot of rooms, and stuffed everything we could into a couple of others. The library room is getting a little claustrophobic, for all we left open was a narrow path to the bed. We stacked the furniture so that it towers over it. I can tolerate this for a while, I think. It’s all for the good of the dream.

If I could only remember where the heck I put everything, when the time comes that I will need to find something specific.

The real test will come when the painting starts. I may not want to be sleeping here during that phase. Maybe that will be time to break out the tent, eh?
