So this week has been pretty work focused and by the end of yesterday it had made me pretty grumpy. Caught a second wind this morning for a couple of hours then ran out of steam for work about lunchtime and instead busied myself with to-dos around the house. So despite the few billable hours it feels like it has been a good day.
In the background the builder has finished both the fireplace and painting the bathroom ceiling, which wraps up those projects. One of the things I did today was trimming up the carpet and tacking it back into place around the new hearth.
Ugh, I know I should complete all the other redecoration and renovation before getting the carpet/lino redone, but that is really the thing-most-in-need-of-attention. Barring windfalls though I'm not going to be able to afford another major project until after next winter. (Fortunately a heat pump doesn't rate as a major project, I want that done -before- next winter).
Operation pay-someone-else-to-clean-all-the-things is also underway so the house is presentable for the party next weekend.
