Waiting is the hardest part

The demo crew is supposed to be here this morning before 11. We've cleaned out the kitchen and bath and boxed up the linen closet. Even after the ceilings and walls come down, we'll have an inspection to determine if the cabinets need to come out and floor to come up. So I guess this is stage two of a four or five step process. Demo, assessment, more demo or repair, return. What a way to spend the summer. Best case is we get to move out during 2nd demo to a hotel or house. This whole period has been about waiting, uncertainty, flexing and stretching until you almost break. I will survive it but have I gotten any better at leaning into the unknown?

I listened to a bit of Frozen II the other day. I haven't listened to "my" song since March '19 when the show shut down. Can't believe I was going to attempt that! Now it could be my anthem. May I summon the power of Else as I hurry to the bathroom to use it before they rip out the toilet. This is a good lesson in how hard it is to plan, think or be healthy in an unstable living situation where you have no control.

At least the SUN is back. This weekend will be calmer than last. Some outdoor summer pursuits would be nice. Just breathe.
