Those new strings? Awesome! Except the thinner diameter really slices into my fingers. Ouch.
We had to flee the premises yesterday morning at seven-thirty because the floors upstairs were being sanded and the first coat of varnish put on. Drove HRH out to the place he’s painting (one hour and fifteen minutes), Liam and myself to the South Shore (forty-five minutes) to stay at my in-laws’ place (for three hours) before heading back to pick up HRH (one hour) and come home for the night. Even after airing the place out and burning good resin incense, I had a dreadful headache that pills couldn’t kill. Liam’s naps and location comfort zone were all messed up and we all suffered for it. Today they’re buffing and then a second coat of varnish is going on, and we’re not leaving until his first nap is finished; I don’t care how bad it smells. But when he’s awake again we’re headed back to the South Shore for the day. Depending on how everyone feels, HRH and I may leave him with his grandma for a couple of hours and go see X3. And I’ve got a pile of mail to go out, too, so we’ll have to hit a post office.
I sympathize. Those varnish coats are killer. I remember when they did the place below us — the first night they told us “don’t stay here tonight”. (At 5pm. Are you going to pay for the hotel?). The second night we didn’t know and came home to a VERY smelly apartment. Ugh.) And yeah. So headachey.
If you really need to get away, you can stay here, though I suspect that would throw Liam’s schedule right out the window.
Thanks for the offer, but it’s over now, thank goodness. The second and final coat went on yesterday morning.
WHen Liam can walk, though, I’m so bringing him over to chase Miho and Tybalt.
Heh heh heh. Yes. They deserve to be chased by someone who can go most of the places they hide. Also, they may whine about pats but they don’t bite or claw when you pick them up or torment them.
