It's the same thing that the doc could (and tried to) do in his office, but she couldn't bear it, pained she man.

On Wed., the tearout of our kitchen begins, long dreamed of by Mrs. T-B. she man.

This will occur through Friday, utter destruction man.

Nothing will happen over the weekend except having No Kitchen Whatsoever (NKW), wondrous joy man.

 

On Mon., installation of new cabinetry is to begin, long dreamed of by Mrs. T-B. she man.

This will occur through Friday, utter construction man.

During all this time, we will have NKW, an excited Mini-B., a traumatized cat, and an aysheep we, :bonk: man.

 

We have ample Burger King coupons, but what recommendations for surviving this period can you offer, huh man?

Hope Mrs. Tbone does well and gets well soon. I also hope your kitchen deconstruction/construction thing works out well. 

 

Today the long-awaited new windows are being installed. Up early, man, I am not a morning person, at 05:30.  They were meant to be here at 08:00. I just had a call from said windows people, delayed. Not coming now until 10:00. Pity, I could have made good use of a couple extra hours of sleep.

 

I spent the weekend building the base for the new garden shed we are putting up. I've dug the trench for the half-buried part, hacked at tree roots in 7 places with a too heavy for me ax, bolted the thing together and anchored it to the ground. I am putting the subfloor down today. What doesn't get assembled today will have to be covered up and put away, we have weather coming in again Thursday.

 

Tomorrow will be a dead loss, I am taking Himself off to the Hospital tomorrow for an echocardiogram. He most likely has CHF. It's a couple of hours from here, but at least it isn't another early start.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Hence, the term "luna-tic"...

 

It really is true, the electromagnetism of the moon had something to do with this. 

Likewise, I go fishing during the last phase of a "waxing moon"...

 

Speaking of fishing, it's time for spring striped bass!! But I think my boat is in shambles. I haven't spoken to her for like months...

 

Oh, speaking of spring,  we went straight from winter to summer, no spring....

No leaves on our trees yet.

 

Yesterday got up to 80.  Then it dropped to 34 overnight and we had a gnarly thunderstorm.

I've even used one of the Mieles they were using on a low pile entry way carpet and it really couldn't get it clean.  Then there were episodes with them hitting and brushing sofas cushions inside.
