raising the white flag

January 19, 2003

We are currently in the midst of one of the coldest winters this area of the country has seen in years. Yesterday when I drove to work the thermometer on my car read 3° today it was a grand 14°. Perfect time of year to do major construction, don’t you think? No insulation and nary a room without a hole covered in plastic.

We can deal with the mess and disorganization and if that’s all it was we’d be okay. Grumpy, but okay. But a house that won’t heat above 50° and pipes that are freezing so we never know which faucets will work we can’t deal with. So we’re outta here. We took a fully furnished condo for a month about 10 minutes away. The plan is that we’ll be ready to move upstairs by the time we come back here to live. I’m still here at the house often, but at least the girls will be warm at night and I know that we will have running water all the time.
