Wow.  Nothing like a home crisis to make posting to LJ happen more often than usual.

The cleanup company finished a little after noon.  Most of my townhome's lower level has been stripped to the concrete slab and there are large green fans drying the place out even as I type.  The noise is enough to make me long to go to work.  Feh.  I have to put ( Read more... )
