Happy New Year
Wishing y'all a happier, healthier 2022! After getting out and about yesterday for the first time in ages, I felt (pleasantly) exhausted. Crawled into bed before 8:30pm last night after barely staying awake for whatever show/movie was playing on TV and realizing it was too much effort.
The wind tunnel continues. Hopefully it'll end tomorrow afternoon, when the moisture levels in the walls and ceiling and behind the now-torn-out portions of plaster and lathe have fallen to normal. (Fingers xd.) Still awaiting visits from roofing companies (Monday & Friday) for bids for a more permanent fix to the problem.
Will wait on the rebuild (fix of water remediation fix) until after the roofing gets done, since another big storm might let more rain in and require additional water remediation. Will continue stressing until the roofing's all done. Meanwhile, we must continue to live with no access to the dining room table since the contents of the built-in now reside on it. We shifted that table nearly into the living room to allow room for the ladder, 3 strong fans, industrial dehumidifier, and big heating unit forcing air behind the now-torn-out baseboard that take up much of the dining room floor space.
But once the water remediation equipment leaves, we can at least return the microwave to its usual spot in the kitchen. The big heater-blower requires heavy duty extension cords plugged into 3 different circuits, and the other devices need outlets as well, so currently cords run through the hall to the bathroom, into the kitchen, over behind boxes of booze along the far dining room wall (since we had to fully empty then move the bar itself), and snaking behind the TV into a living room outlet.
This dehumidifier's powerful enough that I've had to water the big plant after 2 days instead of after 2 weeks. The plant's now located behind the TV as well; thankfully past me insisted its pot be put on casters.
I plan to spend the day at home in PJ's. Mebbe I'll see just how strong my stereo really is. Cannot remember how many amps the receiver has/goes to - or whether that's even the right term, perhaps wattage is more appropriate - but I do believe it's a lot, and the speakers're rated higher. (Thankfully the ex-hubby was a bit of an audiophile, and this amp dates to the early 1990s when he chose it.) Sometimes blasting loud music just makes everything better.
