Just Fine, Thank You

<------ Construction of the foundation forms continues. Today cardboard tubes appeared, along with flourescent plastic thingies, and octagonal wooden pieces all of which are scattered about, lazily covering the holes drilled for the new piers.

The veneer of civilization is wearing a bit thin of late. I fear we'll become like those people who tease their hair a tiny bit more every day only to wake up looking like Marge Simpson, or people with 37 cats, or something. The small adaptations and eccentricities are piling up and we're just getting through, barely noticing.

Communication difficulties abound, mostly with the majority of people who continue leading normal lives as if nothing unusual is occurring on a daily basis. Harmless, but galling, news of the day is that our washer and dryer are actually still hooked up and functional. Until next Monday. Ouch, wish I'd realized that before I dragged five loads of laundry to my folks' house. Clean sheets and towels for everyone, on the house!!
