Waylaid

I have not been this sick in forever. More than twelve hours of you don't wanna know kinda sick. Finally was able to eat a cracker yesterday and half a cup of soup. Ugh!

And, we are trying to finish strong. That was hard missing an entire day of working at the farm. J went up and finished trimming out the windows, removing old left behind plumbing in the crawl space, and finishing all the drywall repairs. Saturday all we did was clean the yard, as one of our inspections didn't quite pass. We removed two inches of dirt within 6 feet of the house. That was hell and I think we actually thought about quitting it all. Once it was done, all was well again. However, we still need the inspection follow up to be sure. Maybe that was what made me violently ill. Again, UGH!

We have a small list of remaining chores we are to finish before we can begin moving. Painting and refinishing the floors and putting in the new floor in the living room. We finally decided what floor. A pre-finished stained oak that is a pretty close match to the fir in the rest of the house. We will re-finish the fir to leave some original charm.

We almost spent our first night at the house this weekend. It has been to much of a construction zone until now. Frankly, glad I didn't, since I would have spent our first night there sleeping on the bathroom floor so as to be close to the porcelain god. I know, TMI.

Well, we are moving ever closer. One good thing. The seed order is placed. We are going to have one hell of a garden this year.
