electriclandThings seem to be progressing... sort of. I need to check on whether my baseboard tiles have been laid. My aunt reports:
Met with one of the reviewers to decipher the remaining doctor-handwriting which had defeated me. We got most of it but even she couldn't figure it all out (she says she has learned to recognize certain patterns in the notes he sends her, but otherwise has just as hard a time with his writing as I do).

stilldeepwater for lunch. Bought a skinny crinkly purple scarf on the way back, because it's suddenly got cold out. This has helped.
The family has developed possibly the most complicated set of Thanksgiving travel plans ever. I suppose it's lucky we only have 2 cars available to us because otherwise it would be exponentially worse. But really.
Am having a hard time getting motivated for the Friday afternoon of a long weekend.
Today for lunch we had mussels and focaccia.I'm not sure how I feel about having a talking smoke alarm in my bedroom.
Stuart worked on the 3rd floor, but did not come for lunch.
Dan did clean-up and worked on greenboard in Jen's bathroom. John and Dan went to Rona and bought even more greenboard, screws and a sharp knife that John thinks is nifty.
Brian will be asked to put new hole in Jen's bathroom with very fancy saw that sets off the third floor fire alarm, which is an ionization thinggummy, which talks and, according to Dan, also juliennes, slices and dices.
John took two hours off this morning to accompany his lovely wife and Jane to the market, where we bought an ecstatic turkey.
Cheers all, Helen
