Stuck
I am so frustrated. Every single thing I want to do today is being hampered by the copious amount of carpenters and builders who have invaded my house. Never mind that they are finishing my house - putting up the siding, adding the railing to the deck, installing cabinets. Ahhh. Why do they have to be here while I am?
I can't leave though, can't go to the library, can't go get my passport picture taken, can't go see a movie at the Grand, because there are (count them) seven vehicles in my narrow driveway. They could be moved, I know, but by now I am in such a flustered state that I can't be bothered to put everyone through that ordeal. Yet I can't get anything done here at my house because of the never ending banging and hammering and just barely overheard conversations and the barking dog. This is the last straw though - the sun is finally shinning warm and bright down onto the back deck and I SO badly want to sit out there and read (even though I have nothing to read) but I CAN'T because I will be in the way of progress. Gah..............!
Feeling....so....sorry....for....myself...
Later: Well, I found a book about houseplants and made some hot chocolate and took advantage of the builder's lunch break. Sun, glorious sun on my soon to be fabulous deck!! I ended up going back in to make myself lunch after an hour or so of basking, and then spent another hour out there just soaking up the sun. I told the builders this was neccisary for my mental health, since it is supposed to snow again tomorrow. They managed to work around me. :)
