Short personal note
After weeks of work— punctuated by a whirlwind trip to the middle east—my house is finally on the market as a rental. New linoleum, counter-tops, insulation, interior paint, shower base and waterproofing, packed-away stuff, un-mangled mini-blinds. The list goes on for nearly $13K in expenditures large and small. And the motivation for that investment is just to contain the damage (likely student) renters will do to the place.
Today I’m hanging out in my room on my bed because it’s the only soft thing to sit on in the house. The weather is miserable and I finally get to put down paint-brushes and magic erasers and read a book or two. Another perk is the dog asleep at my feet. Just a bit ago, he had a running dream.
Nobody should be allowed to be mean to a dog until you’ve seen the disgusted look one gives you when you pounce on him in the middle of a running dream.
