RingedPlover of Bluster
Mar. 16th, 2026 09:08 pmI have finished ferrying ALL the books that were downstairs to another location upstairs, a literally Sisyphean task, since I move them up only so they can later roll back down. I did not quite realize how many there are. And yet, almost all of them are dear to me. There were a few of which I thought, "Meh, maybe not put that one back on the shelf." But I have strictly restrained myself from making any selections at this time. That is not the task for today.
The Sparrowhawk went to the gym. It started blizzarding while he was on the way home. I was quite worried, but he said it wasn't doing that where he was until he was within five minutes of home. This morning, he was out doing the money counting when the service rep from the reclamation cleaners arrived. He seemed a pleasant and competent kind of guy. He looked the situation over and went off to make an estimate, which we accepted very promptly, because as I said in one of my novels back in the paleolithic, need is an iron master. Tomorrow morning the cleaners will arrive and rip out the soaked carpet and clean everything with antimicrobial soap, and dry it all out with giant fans. They suggested arriving at 8:30 or 9, and the Sparrowhawk tactfully said 9 would be good. I bet they come at 8:30 anyway. I hope to be ready.
