Our friend Ron the Plumber came today...he makes house repairs almost painless and fun! Den did comment on the fact that it's exhausting to schedule and actually be around during repairs...yesterday it was window repair...today the tankless water heater and fixtures and pipes and softeners. We are herding cats and unlocking doors and going upstairs and downstairs and moving things. We are doing nothing for the rest of the day...except binge watching TV. I reminded Den that for 95% of all home repairs...in all of the homes we have owned...I was the one here for all of it. The roof, the deck, the kitchen, the bathroom, painting, any repair ever was always on my time or in the summers when I was not teaching. This is why he owes me...big time...this is why I sat on the sofa and read while Den chased after Ron! Heeheehee!
Reading and loving this book...it is quirky good!

I hate have workmen around - it's exhausting even when you're just sitting there waiting. I've been the scheduler/waiter through the years too. No rain here today but lots of wind.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much time it takes!
DeleteI hate dealing with repair anyone. We had to have the Uverse guy come out for our signal issues and I was there for part of it and I just hate it. But, my husband will just go along with whatever they say so when he wanted to install wireless receivers all over and I knew it was going to cost way more, I said now and the guy looked at me like I was the plague.
ReplyDeleteI guess we need them and it's not avoidable! Why do husbands do that?
DeleteI do not like having workmen around, either, and I'm always the one who has to deal with them...for the past umpteen years that I've been single...LOL.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that pasta....enjoy!
Oh yes, waiting for the repair man to come during that window is work. Those veggie wraps look yummy and so healthy. I tend to like vegetarian meals during the day. I always make a two egg omelette with sauteed power greens and shredded cheese.
ReplyDeleteThe wraps were yummy!
