7/25/00 Fruits of Labor
Our house is finally done, the evidence of the fire has been all but erased from the structure - so I statrted moving smokey, sooty, (occasionally) charred belongings back into the house.

I took Friday off; to get a running start at the task.
Monica said it was too hot to move furniture.
So i worked alone.

Saturday my mother in-law took Shelby on an over-nite trip out of town... a perfect chance to get this stuff done....
Monica never budged from the couch.
I moved more furniture alone... and made numerous trips to the hardware store.

Sunday, Monica eventually got up and moving around 3:30pm...hopped into the tub and didnt emerge until 5:00pm. did dishes until 5:15pm when her mother came home from the trip, and found her dutifully working at the sink.

"Oh, hi Mom.... you should see how much we got done on the house."

"Timing is everything."
