Blue Thursday

Got a couple pieces of news before breakfast that have put me in a rather low mood.  You’d think the universe would have the decency to wait until I’d had at least had one cup of coffee.

In remodeling news — the old deck is gone; the new deck is framed in.  We’re promised a railing — or possibly a partial railing — and floorboards today.

The painters are even now doing battle with the kitchen.  It’s possible that the kitchen’s winning.

The cats are deployed to their waiting-out-the-painters positions:  Mozart occupying the bottom of the bed while Scrabble holds the high ground of the file cabinet in my office.

Progress on “The Space at Tinsori Light”
2,694/8,000? words OR 33.67% complete

This, thought Jen Sin yos’Phelium Clan Korval, is going to be. . .tricky.
