Cabinets!

[azurelunatic]

Fortunately, I was already awake when the Holdover Hippie Maintenance Guy knocked on my door. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite dressed yet, and first scrambled around to get things picked up of the countertops, and then scrambled into the closet to get dressed (beat-up blue t-shirt, beat-up lavendar shorts). There is now sawing going on outside, and ...

... ah, measuring and installing are happening. Sort of. They're putting the little boards up on the ceiling to attach them to, and attempting to fit the cabinet to those boards resulted in the cabinet almost falling down on my nice counter. I was sitting at the computer, of course, and automatically reached up a hand to stop the falling object...

Just business as usual around here, of course...

I was not anticipating having a cabinet installation going on today; if I had been, I would have packed it all up and gone to sleep last night immediately after my wizardly duties were complete for the moment. As it was, I stayed up dreadfully late reading my archives and sipping wine from an incongruous plastic cup.

Fortunately, I got enough water, food, and sleep so that I'm not hung-over. This is a good thing, or I fear my head would have long since exploded, since there is now pounding, in addition to the staplegunning, the drilling, and the screwing.

While you drink wine from a plastic cup, I tend to drink milk from a wine glass.

All of my wine glasses are still packed.

That reminds me: I have milk that really needs to be thrown out.

Sounds sort of twisted and kinky really...

Yep. A whole lot of fun!

Note to Lunatic: Not equipped with Superpowers. Please to remember this when pieces of houses fall on you.

Am equipped with strength roughly equivalent to the average man's, if only in bursts (like the wily crocodile, I tire quickly). So a small kitchen cabinet (single) being held at one side but falling on the other is of no concern to my strength.

And it was right by me. I couldn't have made it if it wasn't within actual reach. Sort of like sitting in front of the window and catching the baseball that's been flung astray, only this was sitting at my computer desk by the counter above which they were installing the cabinets...
