Not much going on in my life

I must have four readers now—they keep begging me for more! Of this stuff! Pretty soon I'm going to have to start making things up so I'll have something to write. I do appreciate my friend Jack Riepe's efforts to light a fire under me. His reply to my (lack of) posts today was so uncharacteristically subtle, that at first I thought it was an April Fools joke. To give you an idea of how much of nothing is happening around here:

1. No work is being done on the addition, in spite of my writing a nasty email to Mario, the GC. No response from his assistant, either, and Nick is usually pretty good. (nb: I called Nick while I was writing this and he replied.)
2. My second energy audit today didn't happen. Apparently the hubby scheduled it, then didn't tell his wife, and didn't show up himself at the appointed time.
3. I've gotten no paychecks yet, though that might change Friday.
4. Haven't been able to get any yard work done, and we have plans to cut up some fallen trees, plant a garden out by the far shed, clean up construction mess, sell the camper (32 ft, $1500, looks nice inside. Be a perfect hunting lodge), and root out some more Multiflora rose.
5. Val and I are both too tired to, um, yeah, we're too tired.

I should mention a little adventure yesterday, though. Martin (the best neighbor in the world) and I took HIS truck up to Coatesville, where Val's mom's house is, and hauled home a bunch of woodworking tools that Val inherited. Under a big tarp in our yard (because, ahem, the addition isn't done) are two (count 'em) ShopSmiths, more accessories than you can shake an unfinished piece of lumber at, a table saw, a wheeled workbench, three electric motors, a lathe, a scroll saw, and piles of supplies. Pretty nice. Except today it's raining. Hope that tarp does the job. But, hey, that's only one thing, and I'm not making this up.
