It's been another way too long day.
I forgot to take my melatonin last night and didn't get much sleep, or no good sleep at all. I hate to be dependent on anything, but I think that I am...
Debbie was planning on getting here about 09:00; Patrick called at about 08:00 and said that Lacee was sick over at the babysitters. Karen promptly left to go get her; she had a "tummyache", a rather frequent occurrence lately, it seems.
Patrick was out of school today, and staying home alone. Before too long, he was on the phone, wanting to come over, so I went over and got him.
Both kids knew that Karen was off today... I think that it was a set-up.
Debbie got here about 09:30 and we started scheming. Karen and I did go look at the cabinets again last night and got a more recent, if not better, idea of what we can do with them. Unfortunately, they are relatively... unbreakable, for lack of a better word. They can't really be separated and maintain their functionality of their beauty... separation would be butchery on the most basic level...
I went and got some graph paper and debbie drew everything out to scale and we moved the papers around a lot. At one point, the whole thing seemed impossible, we were going to have to remove another wall and do a whole lot more work. Fortunately, we got around that.
And while we were trying to think, the kids were running around like little banshees, making it impossible for me to think or work or keep a clear head about anything. I got a headache about noon and it remains with me still. Shortly after Debbie left, about 17:00, I tried to take a nap, but it was a no-go. So I'm up again, drinking coffee and writing.
Tyler slept all day, having gone to a concert last night, so I didn't get any work out of him at all. And I didn't get much done either, just a little wiring.
But now that I know where everything is going to go, work will be able to progress much more rapidly. I do better when I know what I'm doing...
Tomorrow is another day... but then, it always has been, and probably always will be. Not an altogether perfect plan, in my estimation...
More tomorrow...
