I re-learned an important lesson
on procrastination yesterday. I had been
putting off some of the cleanup tasks, always justifying to myself it would be
better to clean just before she returned.
I also had to do the massive movement of junk in the basement now that
the paint had dried. This would have
worked out great except I failed to plan for the crushing migraine headache I
came home from work with last night. I
downed the last two ibuprofen in the house and then retreated to a darkened
bedroom. An hour later I awoke thanks to
the ever reliable 6 pm telemarketer call and felt up to getting to work.
Everything was moved into
place in the basement and I am a little proud about the results. We’ll see if a certain Panamanian agrees after
several of her secret shopping stashes were uncovered.
The house cleaning was a
little more involved than I estimated.
Buddy and I are not the cleanliest of cohabitators. Luckily I figured this out ahead of time and
bought three dozen roses because I think it’s going to take that to blunt the
impact of close inspection.
Yesterday I finally finished
the last in the epic series of the Black Company, appropriately titled The
Many Deaths of the Black Company. This
was thoroughly enjoyable as the narration got back to a linear time line and
away from Murgen. He was a great character
but a lousy annalist as he could never figure out where he was in time. This novel saw the return and tragically
costly triumph of Croaker. The bad guys
were put paid and the company continued in it’s nth configuration. As Croaker said, Soldiers Live!
I just hope this old Soldier
lives through the house inspection.
