Survived a contractor!
Yesterday, our pest control company called to schedule our annual termite inspection for today - if possible, due to a cancellation. Oh, all right, I thought.
This morning, I spent my time straightening up, vacuuming, and in general, trying to make up for weeks of neglect! Not easy to do in just 3-4 hours! For those who don't have to get these kind of inspections, the company comes in and goes over the entire house.....closets, cabinets, every room, even the garage...at floor level and also around windows. Did I mention, they also go around the entire perimeter of the house and go up into the attic? Things like this are a necessary evil in my opinion, but they seem so intrusive to me. I tell myself that these people probably see some real dumpy places and that mine is a far cry from that, but I still stress over it more than any reasonable person would.
I skipped breakfast, proper, to do the straightening, just munching all sorts of things along the way. Didn't walk, either. Fortunately, the guy was on time, so I forced myself to take the doggies out for our full walk after he left. After all, it was partly sunny and 73 degrees! I even wore shorts! One just can't skip walking in this kind of weather.
My foods are off schedule for the day and I haven't quite decided how to manage them for the rest of the day. But I know I need something soon, as I'm beginning to feel the start of hunger building.....and that is definitely NOT good! I'm off to find some grub!
