D17 asked if I preferred working in the morning or the afternoon. I dodged the question but afternoons are better. I cope better with this house at night. I stayed up way past midnight and slept in. The past 2 days I have to come home to.....this sad house. I'm 99% sure the last guy that lived here before was recently divorced. He had a tv, bedroom furniture and a recliner. Neighbors said they had to call code enforcement because he wouldn't mow the lawn. This place reeked of depression so I get it.
Today is the first time in months that I've fought back tears.
