Rendered speechless
I haven't updated the blog in a while, but I got laid low by a flu/cold that I just can't shake off. It started out with a sore throat a week ago and it is still hanging on, tormenting me. One of the most obvious symptoms I have is laryngitis which makes me sound either squeaky or husky or something other then my usual voice and makes it hard for me to talk. Which .... could be a good thing.
Meanwhile, back at our loft not that much has happened. We are hoping for big progress this week. We even are holding out some hope that we can move back in on Friday, but we are not counting on it. The crew was otherwise occupied last week and not too much more then laying the new floor down transpired. It looks great, though, and most of the walls are painted as well. The finances have mostly gotten sorted out as well. Travelers seems to be coming through and paying for all the work. That is a huge relief. Now it is mainly that JD and I can't believe we have been ensconced in this hotel suite for over a month now and having a home of our own seems like a distant mirage. This hotel living is very strange. We have been operating with just the stuff we threw in bags the day we moved out, over a month ago. Same clothing, same shoes, same old same old. Very much sensory deprivation tank living. That has its upside, though. Less choices to be made, less things to fuss about. Our room gets cleaned each day. New towels. Hopefully we will remember how to fend for ourselves once we return home.
