actually beginning of vacation, so it would give me a day to really clean up the house. We are having it painted while we are in Texas, so getting things put away and a few more things off the walls would be good for the painter.

ita, I hope you slept.

I've lost all concept of calendar time. I mean, really.

Dressed (not showered) and fortifying myself with instant oatmeal. Gonna have to go out shortly and start digging towards the street. People are already out, shoveling off their roofs. So BRIAN has a ladder to reach his roof. Good to know.
