One of the best things about my faith is the assurance that everything happens for a reason. I can’t say why My wife and I have been meant to be apart for a good year now, but I know that in the future it will all become clear. It’s been very hard, though we have had many short visits. Many short visits mean many hard goodbyes. The drive home from theses is the hardest. Leaving my wife, and a comfortable house, to come live in my garage and sleep on a cot.
Most of the time I’m able to be glad that I at least have a garage and a cot knowing that many people would give anything for that luxury. Other times it’s hard to remember that I’m actually very fortunate.
Things look pretty good on the house, I’m in good spirits that I will be able to finish up all the things that I’m doing in the next couple of weeks. I’m pretty sure that we are going to have carpet put down in the rooms that don’t have a new floor. That can happen a little later as we can afford it.
I had to tear down part of a wall to fix some framing. That was hard. I could have just put another coat of mud on it and let the next folks deal with it, (it is an old problem, not part of the new construction) but I’ve resisted the urge to cut corners so far and I don’t plan to start now that I’m so close to finishing.
Right now I’m just tired, I’ve got a lot to do before Friday and very little to do it with.
That is what’s going on.
