Monday

Just a few things...

We are finishing our basement. When we built the house we had the builders "rough in" the plumbing in the basement in case we ever decided to have it finished. Friday, the plumbers came to do their thing and they discovered that some genius poured concrete in one of the pipes and they told me they would have to come back Monday (today) to jack hammer it out. Oh joy, but what could I do? It had to be done, right? So this morning the plumbers arrive promptly at 8:15. All I can say is thank God I had to take the Prince to school and then I had a doctor's appointment because THE NOISE!!!!! OMFG, THE NOISE!!! They were finished by the time I got back home so it is quiet now. I take comfort in small things.

I left the doctor's office with about a million appointments and one of those little bottles of glucose that you have to drink. Fun. The last time I drank one of those things I had about an hour of feeling invincible followed by a crash that I can only imagine is what coming down from heroin feels like. I think I'm going to have King pick up the Prince from school the day I decide to do those labs.

My already neurotic cat is having a hard time with all the work men coming and going. The first day of construction I came home to a bunch of throw-up on the couch. He has been brushing up against my legs since I sat down and no matter how much I pet him he won't stop. He seems to know when I'm wearing black pants. I think he does this on purpose.
