Wow! What a difference a day makes. The basement is looking like a real space now. All the drywall is installed, apart from around the windows and doors. I\u2019m amazed at their skill in cutting all the pieces and fitting them to size. Tomorrow they\u2019ll finish, and then it\u2019s on to the next phase (trim and doors?). It\u2019s also becoming apparent that we\u2019ll have to buy some furniture. In the coming weeks we\u2019ll be scouring the regional estate sales, which are always good for a few bargains on nice stuff, if not for snooping around some nice properties (we\u2019ve seen some doozies).<\/p>\n

For fun I started another project: re-arranging all the shelves in the pantry so that I can fit the small chest freezer there. After moving it out of the basement for the construction project, it\u2019s become apparent how convenient it is having it upstairs, although the dining room isn\u2019t the best place.<\/p>\n

At the office later in the day I watched from the 14th<\/sup> floor this amazing storm blow in from the northwest. Another quiet day in a huge open-plan floor space all to myself. My amiga in the caf\u00e9 loaded me up with bagsful of tuna sandwiches to bring home, otherwise they would have to throw them away. She\u2019s always looking out for me. It\u2019s a shame that some laws have unintended, poor, consequences\u2014namely health department ones that dictate companies can\u2019t redistribute perfectly good food to homeless shelters or food banks. Instead we throw away millions of dollars of food in this country when people go starving. When I\u2019m elected Benevolent Dictator of the Universe<\/a>, things will change. In the meantime, I\u2019ll settle for bringing home free food.<\/p>\n
