Whew...the past few days have been a whirlwind.
Yesterday, I almost finished the file project. There are maybe a dozen files on the table that need to be put in place, but all of the years are in the cabinets, and (hopefully) in numerical order. The next job is to finish alphabetizing the Phase I reports. It is getting uncomfortably cold in my unheated workspace, so I will be bringing these reports home to sort out.
After work yesterday, The Husband said he had agreed to help Cousin David with some chores this weekend. I was a bit irked that he'd agreed to do it. For one thing, Cousin David lives two hours away. For another, Son #2 and his family are across the road, working on the house they just bought - tearing down walls, ripping out carpet, prying up tiles. The Husband and Cousin David need to be helping them.
After The Husband left, I walked across the road and offered to help. I pulled up carpeting from one room and pried up all the nail strips (that was a b*tch). About the time I finished that job, Son #2 started trying to remove the tile from the kitchen floor. That was a worse job! Son #1 showed up to help, and we managed to get the tile off the floor with a sledgehammer and some pry bars. Then we had to haul the debris to the dump - two trailer loads.
I am whipped!
I came home about dark and started a pot of taco soup. It's simmering on the stove. In a bit, I'm going to shower off the construction dust, have a bowl of soup, and call it a day.
