I'm home, I'm warm, I'm sleeping better.
All good. Renovations at my house have started, which is disruptive. New kitchen countertops and new floors on most of my first floor meant that after arriving home I had to disconnect the bathroom vanity's water connections, pull fhe vanity, the washer and dryer, the furniture, lamps and sundries and the refrigerator and stow them elsewhere. And then I could go to bed. So we're camping out in my house for the next week.
Of course it wasn't withiut some hiccups. Oneof the shut off valves for the washing machine was leaking by, as was one of the ones for the laundry sink. No matter what I did I couldn't get them to not leak by, so we did without water overnight and I had to make a couple of trips to Home Depot because of course one was a friction fit and the other was threaded.
Inappropriately Hot Foreign Wife had never heard a jackhammer before, so having one working 10 feet away behind some plastic sheeting to keep the dust down was a bit of a shock. Luckily we all have good earpro, being a house of shooters, so going about our business in the mostly-empty kitchen as best we can at 150dB is workable.
Anyhow, I have some family visiting Disney a couple of hours to the north so it's a great time to go say hi.
In the meanwhile we went to a waterfront bar laat night and had fried shrimp and mahi mahi and a couple of drinks, which is bad for the waistline but good for the soul.
It's good to not be at work even if I have to go in the living room to see what's in the fridge.
