Time
I’ve been thinking a lot about time, today. And was reflecting on some earlier blog posts around this topic.

Arguments
I’ve been thinking a lot about arguments, today. And was reflecting on some earlier blog posts around this topic. New Fence Install, Day 1: Arguments and Angles Arguments Against Talking to the Police: Professor James Duane and Officer George Bruch
Ghosts
I’ve been thinking a lot about ghosts, today. And was reflecting on some earlier blog posts around this topic.
Waiting
I’ve been thinking a lot about waiting, today. And was reflecting on some earlier blog posts around this topic.
The Lowest Pair: Rosie
“I was happy once it was pure and good
But I was young I took it for granted
I misunderstood
If I had your love
I tell you what I’d do
I would kiss those hard-working hands
and I would marry you”
Down in a Hole
The goal is pretty straightforward: you’re a hole and your job is to eat everything. While there’s a multi-player element to things, the iOS version of the game has some pretty rudimentary AI so there’s no real danger from other “players.” Mostly, you’re playing against a rather generous clock.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 5: Sanding, Primer
Expecting a mess today, with a lot of drywall dust in the air from sanding. Woke up early to try to get things covered up as best we can.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 4: More Taping and Mud
Another full day, with more mudding. While I’m mostly familiar with the steps involved with drywall, this stage of things (the mudding and smoothing of things) is a mystery to me. I don’t know how, but they worked a full day, constantly in motion, getting things even and clean.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 3: Taping, Mudding, Bedroom Relocation, and the Opening of a New Room
Here’s the same bit of drywall, looking at it from the bedroom. When we first put up all this drywall (the blue stuff is soundproof drywall), the idea was that we’d eventually cut through and make this an entry into the closet. That day, finally, is today.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 2: Installation
After a full day, Liz and I were in awe walking around the upstairs. There’s still more to be done, but comparing how fast the two of us work versus a professional was… humbling.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 1: Supplies
Things got a bit delayed today, with the drywaller needing to delay. Instead of starting today, he showed up to drop off a lot of materials.
Lower Stair Work
While I was at Home Depot early this AM, I opted to buy a handsaw (something we actually didn’t have at home). This ended up being the right tool for the job. Just a bit more elbow grease than anticipated.
Drywall Prep
We’ve got an eventful weekend, with a bit of prep work to do before we have drywallers coming on Monday to tackle a good part of the second floor. Before they get here, we have some fine-tuning to do.
Home Depot Date Night
Liz and I had some supplies to get for house work this weekend. And rather than go out tomorrow, we figured on doing our errands tonight so that we could start without delay, tomorrow.
So: another Friday Night Home Depot Date Night! And all the excitement and glamor that entails.
Digging Out
Oh boy, it’s been a minute.
We got back from Scotland a while ago, and in that time I’ve been trying to get caught up with everything: work, the house, actually buying groceries, taking care of the bunnies. And of course, the blog.
