Happenings

A lot has happened since we left Florida in a hurry last month.  We are lucky that the only thing we lost in the flood was the hardwood floors.  They also took out the sheetrock around the bottom foot of the walls, so the reconstruction has included repainting the entire downstairs.  We are hoping construction will mostly be done in the next couple of weeks.  We have been living upstairs, with sporadic access to the kitchen, and occasionally going to motels when needed.  We will be in a motel again at the beginning of next week while they are putting down the hardwood floors, since the mastic they have to use on our damp slab is really stinky.

While all that has been going on, I had my right knee replaced two weeks ago.  That surgery was scheduled long ago and I decided to go ahead and have it done.  The condition of my knee before surgery meant I couldn't help carry all the things we moved upstairs in preparation for construction, and I won't be healed enough to help move things back either.  Fortunately, we have family members who can help.

I'll try to post again once our life has finally returned to normal, whatever that is.
