Flurry of Activity
I have been busier than a cat covering up crap.
I've spent most of today with the help of a kindly neighbor ripping a doorway in a wall, getting the new door in, tearing out a wall and getting the former doorway ready to be framed and drywalled in. All part of the master plan. My youngest was elated about this because this means the new bedroom is becoming a reality, albeit at a snail's pace. Her and sis merrily attacked the wall with hammers and assisted with getting the doorway made. Highlight of their day. ( we need to get out more, I guess.) The place sure looks weird now. But that new door thing I shoulda done years ago. It'll make for a better traffic flow and really improve furniture arrangement options.
That mess clean up for now, I'm now trying to get all the programs printed up tonight for the recital. The printer is churning away right now, hope the ink holds out. Still have to get all 200 folded up. Ugh. Paying the younguns a penny a program to do that. It's nice that they haven't become so jaded that they would negotiate a better price, or even refuse altogether- a penny seemed fair enough.
Finished up making a few costume accessories for my youngest solo dance number and got all the other costume stuff I volunteered for done. (10 pairs of 'poodle ears' and matching poofies for the tail part.)
Rehersal is tomarrow, the big event's on Saturday evening.
Good thing the eldests ballgame was cancelled tonight due to thunderstorms! Making good use of the blessing in disguise to get this done tonight, so I ain't scrambling tomarrow.
Anyway, iffen I ain't around much the next few days, that's why.

Good luck with all of that.
Sounds like a long day. You have my heartfelt sympathies.
