I had no clue that so many things that we own needed a fixin'. Some stuff is just routine (yet expensive maintenance) but some stuff just surprises me. And...this...my friends...is the difference between Den and Patty...or Patty and Den...and I truly think it's why we remain balanced? Even? Most of the time, anyway...lol!
For instance...an acquaintance came to our house yesterday...complimented the craftsmanship on our house...and mentioned that houses similar to ours built within the last five years have issues with the stone and stucco. Hmmm...now "we" are a tad worried about our stone and stucco...sigh! While I am just basking in the compliment!
Den worked at his office all day yesterday...so I assumed that today we would relax, catch up, etc...but electricians were here at 8 this morning because of something they forgot to bring a ladder for the last time and which they forgot to bring a ladder for this time! Sigh! So they are coming back again!
Oh well...not to mention the driveway surprise last week and the gutter surprise that is pending.
Double sigh! I know we need to do stuff but I need long breaks between the fixin'...
Finished this...what an interesting book this is! Big words, small words, unusual words...this book fascinated me! I kind of loved it!
Have you heard of this one? I just got it from NetGalley. It's about an autistic little girl who loves synonyms and her puppy...but it's going to be sad...I can sense it...I hope I can read it...it just has a sad feel to it...doesn't it? Sadness mixed with hope would be good! I think I can manage that...
These were surprises from publishers...I have not read a John Grisham book in ages. But this one looks ever so good! Downsized high powered attorney who moves to a small town...hmmm!
I have heard amazing things about this author's new book...and I loved the first one!
Happy Wednesday!
