A day of Glitches

I guess no job as huge as what we have been doing can go along with out a single hitch...so I shouldn't have been too surprised when the attachments to the washing machine were spitting water all over the place and more runs to the HARDWARE STORE were needed for more PARTS...and then waiting for someone to come over to show DH how to fix the problem. Finally, tonight I was able to wash clothes!!!! And then my neighbor who is always so helpful had the unfortunate luck to have his back go out on him so he and DH could not put in the two toilets as planned today. Instead, we have had to hire a plumber who will come on Monday and take much denero to do this arduous job. Well, we NEED the toilets and so we will gladly pay to have it done. I unloaded umpteen boxes upstairs today and shelved many books only to be told tonight that DH wants many of those books to come to shelves downstairs. I thought I was being so helpful. Oy. Henry seems to like to be up on my desk, not something he has done in the past, where he can see what's going on from this vantage point. I did set up my sewing and felting machines in the family room/art studio in hopes that I can get to use them before too awfully long. A sweet bit was this hummer who visited me or my Lilies of the Nile all day long. He/she did not seem to mind if I was inside here or outside later in the day, the flowers were a huge attraction. So the work continues. We are tired, and sometimes a bit cranky, but most of all we are pleased with what we have done. And I am NOT complaining about the work. It's kind of fun to see it come together...finding things is a real challenge. Perhaps it's best to just keep opening box after box and be surprised at what we find rather than hope to find something specific. Oh, I neglected to also tell you that I washed DH's cell phone that he left in his jean shorts pocket! See, a day with a few glitches...nothing to write home about. Life goes on.
