the middle of difficulty


We are living in utter chaos.

We've torn up the old carpet in anticipation of the new - what's left is sub-flooring, complete with staples and bits of foam padding. The old kitchen counter top has been removed, but the new one isn't on yet. The sink is laying in the middle of the kitchen floor; we're washing dishes in the bathroom sink.The front hall is full of boxes once again, and the front porch is piled high with old carpet (see above!) There are paint supplies in several rooms, and flat boxes and packing tape in every room. In a week this will all be done; we'll call the realtors, and put this house on the market. But for now, I'm looking at pictures like these and longing for just one drawer where things are organized, and where they belong...
