That's good about the house. At least she'll back you up. He must really be nitpicking.
If only I'd finish something! I did break down and call a plumber so that job will at least get done. I may not get to raking up the leaves until Spring (sorry lawn) and I was so sad not to get the garage siding/trim/paint done... but, at least I'll be able to run the dishwasher and have the kitchen sink drain all winter.
I can't believe that I forgot I'm starting my 2nd week of vacation. I had a week off (plus a couple extra days) a week on, then another week off (don't ask - I have to schedule around on-call and other people's vacations). Sadly, I noticed this when I was working in the wee hrs on a Sat morning trying to tie up some loose ends on a problem that cropped up when I was away, and trying to get my time recording done. I had a nap this afternoon.... still not on a good sleep schedule (hence this 5 am post). Anyway, now I have to scramble to get an estimate done and send notifications, set my out of office reminder in email, etc. etc. So much work to take time off work.
