A rare moment of Isis being near me, overlooking my portable to see what I’m doing. Despite her resting jerk face, she’s actually relaxed and happy if she’s this close to me and her eyes aren’t bugged out, waiting for Metztli to attack. We’re at day three with the floors and the progress isn’t as easy to see since the contrast decreases.
Today we’re starting to see the baseboards going up. The original trim my carpeting and flooring had were really just cheap-ass spacers. In a couple areas, the baseboards will have to be redone thanks to drywall damage, weeks, months or years away. I do like how they’re coming together as goop will bridge the gaps.
We’ll wrap up today with how exhausted my three little supervisors were after lunch. That or the screaming from blood you could hear from the wealthy and rightwing moron ‘burbs regarding the recent water-boiling order. After the recent snowmageddon, it was advised to boil your water for two minutes before consuming it. Given this being Austin, there was a run on Top Chico and other bottled products which people shouldn’t buy when matters are going well; I’ll get to that later. The boil thing has been the third or fourth in at least ten years. It exploited what little the Republicans and NeoLiberals have put toward their precious infrastructure which is needed to accommodate the unsustainable growth they’re promoting. Anyway, it turned out the water safe the whole time. This cautious decision cost the head person’s job because you’re only allowed to be absolved of blame when poor people die from your incompetence.
Let’s close with Isis, Metztli and Agamemnon carrying out their quality assurance jobs when it comes to great places to sleep in the master bedroom before its floors are changed.
