Since I've been nursing this viral thing since last week, I've been working short days this week just to keep up with what has to get done, and to rest as much as possible. But when one lives in a building that was made around 1890, things are bound to go wrong, and need replacement. But everything is happening at the same time. If the goal is to rest, forget it. The heat has been out since Sunday, and the hot water heater has been on it's last legs for a while. Yesterday, the drywall in the living room was getting rapaired, so I had to leave early in the morning. Today, not only was our driveway parked with every service vehicle it could accommodate, the street was overloaded with trucks. And of course, the street repair is going on now too, adding to the noise and the congestion. The Truckers Association is having some event this evening... the party truck and catering trucks, and the 18 wheeler they bring in from time to time also arrived. Across the street was a roof repair truck, further down, another repair vehicle of some sort, and a laser delivery truck found it's way alongside the mess. Thank goodness the repairs in our building that needed to be made were finally made today. I simply do not remember this sort of mess in Milwaukee. Things were fixed before they broke most of the time. That is just not the culture around here. I am exhausted just thinking about it when I'm feeling well. I can't even contemplate it when my head feels like a bowling ball.

| Party planners for a catered event across the street |
 |
| Our circle drive was filled with vehicles |
 |
| Add to it the street work and noise at the corner |
 |
| Someone needed roof repair work |
 |
| And a dump truck |
 |
| Another work vehicle |
 |
| And another one just up the street |
 |
| The 18 wheeler took the cake |
