Me A few thoughts from Kat, a newly single resident of Irvine, CA. I go back to New York at least once a year, but love the weather out here in sunny California.

Damned contractors!
Well, the contractors had given David a 3-hour window when they'd show up today (though he had only told me they'd be there at noon today). And what's happening with our bathroom? You guessed it - nothing! Did they show up? No. Did they call at 2:00 when they were still in Cypress and no where near done with their project so they could clearly not be on time? No. They called at 3:15 when it was already very clear that they were late.

Needless to say, David has had a great time wasting time and yelling at the idiots. He understands that things happen, but not to get a call is ridiculous - especially on the first day when they know damned well he has to be there, since he has to give them the key for the lock box! Contractors are so annoying!

At least we know these guys do good work in spite of the few "small problems" encountered with dealing with contractors, since David's talked to people who used them and we've seen pictures. It's just really sad that common courtesy can't even be followed in a professional situation these days.

My head hurts, so I'm really looking forward to going home and resting tonight. I got back the gym last night for the first time doing weights since my fall and (surprisingly) I hurt my wrists, knee, ankle, and toe a bit from time to time while I was at the gym, but I had no lasting bad effects after icing my wrist and knee last night. Some muscle soreness today, but nothing bad, since we had to stick with light weights so we didn't kill my joints. Good to get back to the gym on a regular basis, though.

Perhaps it's better not to have a bathroom project start on 6/6/6, but I was really looking forward to it starting. And, of course, David had already taken off the door to the little room with the toilet in our master bathroom in anticipation of the demo today, so I can't even use that tonight. I know it's just one unnecessary night when it's going to be this way for over 2 months, but it's still annoying.

Here's hoping the Yankees can kill the Red Sox again tonight. Staying ahead of them is always a good thing!
