| Worked 14
hours yesterday and still didn't finish the job. Well, that's sort of normal with remodeling 110 year old houses-- unexpected stuff always comes up, in this case unsupported porch roof posts requiring structural reinforcement between joists below, a tight spot tricky fix made extra lovely by rat piss saturated basement ceiling shiplap that had to be removed for access. Saturday is just another day and I don't mind working it; kind of refreshing to break the social conditioning pattern. (Or is that just my Stockholm Syndrome speaking?) Still, it's a little bit heartbreaking having to leave behind this sweet little kitty, spying on me from her favorite sidewalk stakeout where she spends her days waylaying passersby, purr-suading them to pet her. She's met more of the neighbors than I have. I can't say I ever took her for granted, but since our big scare last month when she went missing for four days I cherish her presence more than ever.. |
