Random snippets of the week:

> I woke up at 5:45 today. What the…???

> I’m actually in bed, typing this.

> Bri and Rob are CHAMPIONS and brought their vacuum over for me to use. So, J-Dub, thank you (thank you, thank you!) for the offer, but we’re good now.

> I think about Justin every day and hope he’s ok. All the other vacuums were so much bigger than him. You know, I just worry.

> I think I may have located a chair for Magnus, courtesy of CNKelly (does everyone know that she left me alone and isn’t my CN anymore and now she’s leaving for JAPAN for a week???).

> I have so many pictures to post of the fence project, my stunning new dining room set, the new living room arrangement (courtesy of Brian and Rob for all the heavy lifting and Heidi for all the cleaning and shoving furniture around), and probably more.

> Sometimes, when I think of how long the fence project has taken, it feels like I’m not accomplishing much of anything. But I know I’m working really hard, almost every night on the project, and on other smaller tasks around the house. Why does it take so much time to do everything???

> I shouldn’t complain too much. I’ve received several compliments on the fence project so far, even from the neighbors. Oh, and with the removal of the big spruce tree, I’m now going to be able to have a garden in the backyard! I have to admit, I was sad to kill the tree. But it was smack in the way of pretty much everything. I think the people before me just envisioned the use of the yard altogether differently than I ever have.

> If you can, come on out tonight for Firepit Friday. We’ll be celebrating Heidi’s 26^th birthday!
