Thoughts on the Day

  • Dear Contractor:  “We’ll send a crew tomorrow to put on your new gutters” does not mean “We’ll be by on Tuesday or Wednesday”.
  • I guess we’ll know soon if our new roof is going to work.  It’s supposed to rain tonight.
  • There is something to be said for putting your headphones on, cranking up the music, and just shutting out the rest of the office while you work.
  • Be careful when you ask me to do something unreasonable.  I just might do it.
  • It must be good to be Boo.  Donuts and fruit for breakfast, a day spent playing with Irish Woman and Girlie Bear, and then a four hour nap.    He finished the day off with pancakes for breakfast and a movie.
    • The Young Prince is living the dream
  • Ordering a salad from Cracker Barrel for dinner appears to break some Kentucky culinary law.  I’m sure the authorities will be by later to force feed me a big mess of biscuits and sausage gravy.
  • Apparently our 11-year-old Labradors still make good watch dogs.  They raised hell when two gentlemen from the roofing company came by to see how things looked.
  • Made the decision for the steps to the porch that if a 2×4 will work for framing, then a 4×4 will work even better.
    • If it’s worth building, it’s worth overbuilding

    I find I work best with music. I do the same kind of thing, and I work from home. When the kids are in school and the husband at work, I will sometimes dispense with the earphones and just blast the music, because I can. Other times? I use ’em anyway. I like the sense of solitude.
