OK, still cleaning out the basement. It's been going fairly well, considering. For one thing, it was just the storm drains that backed up, *NOT* the sewer. That in & of itself makes a *huge* difference (such as the horrible smell we noticed right off faded quickly- which would not have happened with sewage). We still cleaned the floor with ( Read more... )

For the past two weeks, this odd memory of my Dad has been popping into my head & I have no idea why. He was trying to teach me a German word & the part I keep remembering is him telling me how to pronounce it. No idea how the word is spelled or what it meant. The pronunciation is "gwi er", with a soft g (think Gigi as opposed to girl). It's ( Read more... )

My coworkers were attempting to kill me today. See, the workshop is in one of those metal buildings- metal structure, metal roof, metal walls- because it's really meant to be part of an aircraft hanger. I had a feeling that this would mean that it gets really damn hot in the summer. As it turns out, we actually have a really good air ( Read more... )

Oh. My. Gods. I am soooo sore right now. Tomorrow's going to be worse, of course. Still, it's a good sort of sore. I worked until 5 & then went straight to pilates & then dance class. I'm exhausted-- which will hopefully translate into falling asleep earlier. (I fell asleep somewhere around 1 am last night, so I got five hours of sleep, which ( Read more... )
