Dog days

Not much to blog about lately. We've been busy working away at getting bedrooms painted and furniture moved around. No one has any organized activities going on; the kids are just hanging out with friends. When we can't take any more drywall patching, sanding, scraping, or painting for the day, it's too hot and windy to enjoy ourselves outside, so we just collapse in the house with a cold drink. I've been putting in extra time at work, too, trying to get caught up for the vacation we're taking at the end of the month. There is some unbloggable political maneuvering that's going on there, too, which is affecting a good friend and has me feeling pretty powerless to affect.

All in all, it's enough to make me envy the dog, who stays stretched out on his cool and comfy bed while I'm running around being busy.
