The goat rodeo continues (Icon used ironically)

Because everything else is "no". Still no check, still no appliances.

The dining room table has a pile of stuff on it that's literally two feet high---maybe more---the garage door is blocked, and the living room access to the hallway has two chairs stacked with more miscellany---the only access is via the kitchen. Still, I've measured clearances, and there shouldn't be any problem getting the appliances in or out.

And oh God, I definitely feel like I've been shit at and hit. However, I *did* get a wild hair and attack the kitchen-most corner of this dining room this morning. Got all the dessicated potted plants out to the front porch, shifted crap and more crap around, and hefted the big microwave from the kitchen to the dining room, hooray, go me!

In the process, I uncovered a spider the size of a schnauzer in the process and shrieked. Also did something or other that has made my left knee quite grumpy. Still, even though I'm not so much cleaning as pushing things around and sweeping, the sense that things have changed (somewhat for the better, although I know I'm going to be hunting things for months), gives me a feeling of satisfaction.

At the moment, I'm dying for a cool shower and a nap. Not likely, though....

This will be quick, because Person of Interest is on soon, and I have no way to record it.

The appliances have landed. There was minimal fussin' and cussin' getting them in, although restoring order to the chaos of the process in will take some doing. (And I thought I'd cleaned out the old fridge?! HA!) This one is MUCH smaller than what I'm used to, but that's okay; it has all its drawers (other one didn't have any) and the stove is low-profile and matches my almond sink.

Even better news: JtYG's friend, who helped him shift things, does roofing and says he can fix the hole I have for materials and a little something---probably about $100 total, which would be a godsend, since hurricane season is approaching again, and I've been concerned about that every time it rains---to say nothing of the critters tap-dancind thru my attic!

Now I'm going to whip up some Crystal Lite and go watch my boys and Bear be fabulous. Then Elementary, which is also fabulous.

TTFN.
