A Breather

Last week was a flury of activity, but this week is not. Last week the contractor was in and tore out the floor in the living room, pulled down the stairs and filled part of the cellar in with gravel and concrete. We also got drywall hung, demolition done and filled up the big dumpster. Now the dumpster is gone and we can't do much until we have new stairs. There are so many things going on in the rest of my life that I feel like I don't have time to devote to the house and getting it ready so we can move in. I feel slightly conflicted -- I feel like I should be there and doing something, but I also have to get all these other things done. So, I'm chalking it up as a break from the house to get caught up. What's a few days, even a week, in the grand scheme of things?
