One should be careful what one wishes for...
So I got pretty sick last night. Well, no, it wasn't pretty. I went to bed and was almost asleep when my gut started aching suddenly, telling me to get to the bathroom NOW!
It was about four hours later when I was able to get to sleep. Diarrhea and cramps occasionally since the first round. At one time I was really worried that my intestines were going down the toilet...
Tyler and I were able to get a lot done today. Went to Lowes and get some siding and some styrofoam sheathing. We got home and finished up framing the rough opening for the window, then started putting the sheathing on. I knew that I had some roofing nails so I didn't buy any at Lowes, but I discovered that they were 3/4-inch nails and we needed 1 1/2-inchers. So we're getting ready to go when Karen gets back from the Maple Leaf Festival. I try to persuade her to go with us, but she's tired out... walked quite a bit at the festival.
So we got the nails and a bunch of outlet boxes and came home and started ... first the sheathing, then the siding. We got it all done a little before dark and I just didn't really feel like working any more, so we quit.
It's starting to look like a room now.
Incidentally, Lowes is a madhouse on Sundays. They must make a ton of money.
After we'd knocked off, 
Karen and I were sitting on the porch swing drinking coffee. Just as I lit up my second cigarette, she said, "You sure are smoking a lot."
So I said, "So, do you want me to put this out and we'll go make love?"
"No," she said, "You'd just get up and come out and have another one."
A Pause.
"No, it just wouldn't be worth it."
I just can't win.
More tomorrow...
