And things are improving every day. Wish I didn’t require a damn crisis to get going, but things are good.

And in some good news – I damn near had a full blown panic attack last week in the basement – there was a spot near the drain stack that looked like it might be water coming up from below. Not. Good. Not good AT ALL.

It was a shadow. Had I been looking at it from a different angle from the start, I would have seen it.

But JFC, the stress that caused me, and the relief when I realized what it was.

The basement is on the list for a big clear out once we are done with the plumber in the upstairs bathroom. But at least we’ll be able to take our time.
