Lots of driving on Tuesday
Mar. 25th, 2025 11:00 pmI drove out to the house. After the meeting, we did the walkaround with the HVAC folks to look at where the various ins and outs are and to ask for any modifications that seemed to be needed. Basement wasn’t set up for that yet, so we just did two floors. K.’s room had a register a little too close to the fan, which I caught. J. and I both caught registers going between bedroom 3 and its closet, which are not needed because we made that a louvered door. There was a big living room register that we had moved a little and the size adjusted, so we could it center it under the TV. It was a fun process. I had R. on FaceTime for a lot of it, but service was poor in the LS suite so I lost him there.
After I got home, I went over the lighting submittal, because J. really wanted me to. The number of changes needed on the plumbing submittal were very minimal, so I was figuring this wasn’t really necessary but holy shit it really was necessary. There were missing things. There were incorrect counts (double counts, for the most part). There were wrong fixtures. It was incredibly hard to work through, because it was so cognitively distorting. But I did get it done and the email sent before midnight altho it was tight. I barely got any duolingo done.
I did some online shopping — the really awesome purple cargo pants I bought are slippery enough that if I put anything in the pockets they slide down, and all my belts have metal buckles which is a problem at airport security. So I went in search of a metal-free belt, ideally purple, but had to settle for a very nice blue from Arcade.
I’ve been getting really mad at A. lately, because she won’t go to bed and when I do she comes and wakes me up for something. We’d gotten better at avoiding overfeeding her too close to bedtime / throughout the day, however, she had a lot of gas and woke me up at 2:30 in the morning. I just don’t know what to do any more.
