My house is a complete disaster. The kitchen isn't finished- I can't climb up the ladder and paint. What was in the kitchen is stacked up in the dining room and study and what was in the study is on the kitchen table. Doug is finishing the cat bathroom- replacing and adding tile, attaching the faucets. After that he is moving into my bathroom and replacing the window, fan, drywall, and shower tile. We are thinking glass block wall for the shower. You'll definitely want to take a shower with me when it is finished.
Tomorrow I'm calling the doctor about the ankle. It hurts, isn't getting better (at least as far as I can tell), and I'm tired of people pointing at me and screaming, "Ohmigod, it's The Limper!!!" Say atheist prayers that they don't amputate my foot.
The weather continues to be really nice here- highs in the 60s. When I talk with my mother and she uses the word "blizzard" it takes me a moment to think past Dairy Queen and remember that sometimes this frozen water stuff falls from the sky and makes a big old mess. I well remember the Blizzard of 1974 when we had to hold hands while walking to the barn because the snow drifts were so fucking enormous and we took in a family for several days whose car ran off the road. We don't have storms like that in Tucson.
