Letting the Dust Settle

Trying my best to keep a good attitude. The house is topsy-turvy with all sorts of containers, dishes, and kitchen cabinet contents strewn outside. Drilling of holes, dust galore. Major repairs going on with our water pipes after a discovered leak which happens to emanate from a punctured pipe buried underneath concrete. After much breaking up of floor tile and some part of the wall, the darn pipe could not be found. The solution --- ugly. A bypass of the water system has to be done with pipes exposed running from the main source to the second floor baths, with pipes out in the open for all to see. The prospect of the blue pvc pipes detracting big from aesthetics, the pipes as dust magnets and keepers, is just too much. Forgive the rant.


As i pound away on the keyboard i breathe in dust which has made an ugly haze inside the house. I must wait for about three more days for everything to be back to normal. Patience is required. I can start the clean-up when the dust has settled.

Isn't that the way we need to deal with inconvenient scrapes in our lives. We can't just make any counter attack, er, solution when things are all too hazy, all too muddled --- including our thoughts.

Waiting for the dust to settle...
