Tired. Very Tired. I may have gotten a late start at things, but I seem to have accomplished a bunch of stuff today. Some of it turned out to be much more complex than hoped. For example, I had to haul the good plates and cups out from under the counter with the sink, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to go around. While doing so, I was not very surprised to discover that the boxes holding said dishes were rotten. We've been having trouble with various seals and washers on the kitchen sink not doing their jobs. As a result a small amount of water leaks under the counter every time we use the sink. We've fixed the problem several times now, and it keeps coming back. Frankly, we need to replace the sink with something that isn't ready to fall apart, but we haven't been able to afford it. Well, today I noticed that major parts of the counter's superstructure are damaged and now the whole dang counter needs to be replaced. This would be a minor issue if we had the money. We've always hated the way the kitchen is arranged and have wanted to fix it for ages. Well, its beginning to look like the fixing is getting less and less optional with each passing day. Hopefully nothing will collapse before I'm earning some decent money again and we can afford to have the kitchen (or at least that counter) redone. Anyway, the boxes of dishes had become welded to the insides of the counter and had to be carefully torn to extract the dishes. And of course the dishes needed to be washed.

Now that that is over, and we've found a new place to store said dishes after the party, things are going fine. I've been cleaning and taxlady has been both cleaning and cooking. I just finished hauling a broken air-conditioner out of the master bedroom, where it has sat for the last 2 years since _sps_ helped me haul home its replacement. Having stowed that monstrosity out-of-site in a closet, I thought I would take a 15 minute break and check LJ for happenings. And now that 15 minutes is already over.  Oh well, at least with my current level of physical exhaustian, I won't have any trouble sleeping tonight.
