Out of Chaos, Clarity
There is something about chaos that seems to stir up long dormant brain cells and kick them into action around here. We've been dealing with a rampant Chaos, with big pointy teeth, and it brought the attack of the appliances, and minions... but... even Chaos seems to wear out eventually.
So I have two working bathrooms for six people. Which is a GOOD THING when several of the bladders are under 8 and Must Go NOW or there could be puddles... or non authorized fluid receptacles (which can also be filed under things they don't tell you about raising boys).
But amongst the worry when the fridge started with the cranky (it's only 15 years old!) There was a moment of clarity when all the story ideas started tap-dancing into place, and all the things that were stuck and didn't work presented me with the neat and tidy wrap up the mystery scene at the end of the book solutions!
A very very happy thing... but next time I need to figure it all out at once, I hope I can do it without having to have half my appliances take a powder, the plumbing burp, the beads down the drain in the only working bathroom at the time, and the stitches!
Now off to be happy over a working wash machine! And a second working bathroom! And no more beads! And a fix coming for the Fridge!
