It looks like another nice day here. I'm doing much better than I was two days ago, and the wife is doing better than she was yesterday. We have continued to lift the northwest corner of the house, and it is getting closer to where it belongs. Late in the afternoon, we managed to get it lifted about... Sign in to see full entry.

I feel about 85% of my usual, but Lisa feels off a bit. I suspect we have/had a minor flu. As I write this, she is napping in the bed behind me. I rested/slept most of the day yesterday, and I expect Lisa will do the same today. I managed to do some writing in my murder story last night. I wanted it... Sign in to see full entry.

Food For Thought Sometimes you feel that no one is there for you, but I have found someone who is always there. Laundry. Laundry is always there for you. Sign in to see full entry.
While today looks like a beautiful day, I feel less than spectacular. I don't think it is anything serious; I just need to 'cool my jets' for a day. I've been running at full-tilt since mid-December, and I am exhausted - physically and emotionally. Besides the 19 hour journey down here after a... Sign in to see full entry.

I successfully rebooted the computer, and I was able to do a few other things I needed to do. I also managed to finish the next chapter in my murder story. This one left my desk to Annicita's desk with about 1350 words. With some luck, it will come back with ~1250. The writer wants to write, and the... Sign in to see full entry.
Good morning! It is off to a great start weather-wise. At 10:45 this morning, it is already 72. I can handle that. I'm not sure what the day will bring or what we will take from it, but I'm ready to find out. I'm hoping to get the northwest corner of the house closer to level and to get the time to...

It has been a day of crawling under the house, moving some cement blocks around, and then jacking the place up a half of an inch. We began to concentrate on the northwest corner, where the main beam was not in the best condition. Once we worked our way to the very corner, we began to raise it up a... Sign in to see full entry.

I finally convinced my monitor to 'come aboard' this morning, but I will have to buy a new one real soon. I'm not sure why this one decided it wanted to take the day off yesterday, but it did it once; it will most assuredly do it again. While yesterday was a busy day, I had set aside an hour to work...

I may have just blown a monitor. I left five of them in Newberry, but not a single spare here. Hmmm. This could be a problem. Sign in to see full entry.
Whew! Yesterday was one of those days from Hades, but when we called it a day, our list of accomplishments was long. The main beam was broken in several places that required more cement blocks and wooden shivs to fill in the space and give the blocks a little padding. All told, I hauled sixty cement...
