We went to bed early last night with a headache. The headache is still here this morning. I think it’s the heat. We always hate it when summer really gets here and it triggers a lot of stuff and so we have a grumpy-making headache now. Bah.
There are actually men out on the balcony working on rebuilding it. It’s been in a state of stasis for over a week now, but they’re back to working on it and I hope they get it finished soon. It makes us a little nervous to have strangers right outside our windows, and of course it’s noisy, and also we can’t turn up the hot water heater until we have a balcony again because the utility closet is out there and right now the back door has a board nailed across it to keep people from accidentally falling to the ground because the balcony is gone. That means no baths because the water isn’t hot enough, although it’s ok for showers. We hate showers, btw.
I’ve reached that point in unpacking where there are certain things I can’t touch yet and so the house is halfway done and pretty much of a mess, with crap everywhere waiting for the next stage. I need to get it picked up somehow so that the cleaning service will have room to do their thing on Friday, but just now I don’t have the motivation to get started. Hopefully the heat will break in a day or so and I can get back to schlepping things around.
I have no idea how we’re going to decorate this place. We have lots of cool pictures of various sorts but we basically suck at actual decorating. I’ll deal with that later, though.
Ok, that’s all for now. I’m sure our attitude will improve the moment this frickin’ headache goes away.
