We’re at the stage I call Zeno’s Paradox, which is really Zeno’s dichotomy paradox because he came up with many. The dichotomy one involving cutting the distance in half, then that in half, then in half, ad infinitum, is his most famous so it got mislabeled. It’s still an accurate description of where the contractors are with my floor. All the major work is done. What remains are the little elements: baseboards here and there, grout between the tiles to give the spacing the right color (mocha), putting back fixtures they had to remove to install the tiles (toilets namely) and small areas not covered (closets, transitional areas). Hopefully, we can get my furniture I kept back into the right locations, I’m not very strong.
So what little got visually completed means another weekend in the hotel. I will have to show up tomorrow at 7 AM Austin Time yet arriving before 7 AM in real time, giving up going to the gym. Without my gym routine and the exhaustion from this process, I’ve been stress eating to endure. You guessed it, the ~10 pounds I lost over the last couple months, in the metaphorical crapper.
Boo hoo! First World Problems! I’m still going to have a great weekend though. Seeing a local stand-up comedian I like and pushing to see my Stars take on my Admirals. Getting to attend the game with my friend Elizabeth will rock too. Another person I’ve been dying to have Jennifer meet.
