A Much Better Day

walkitoutI got a decent amount of continuous sleep last night, which is really wonderful in so many ways.
I got out of the house (R. got A.’s lunch together and helped with breakfast) at 9 to get to Florence for an 11 am walk through of the various kitchens with the metal artist and with the kitchen designer. That was productive. We also had the MEPFP and OAC, and SC from HVAC was on site and is very ready to switch to a different vendor, and I am entirely in favor of. So we’ll get hot gas reheat throughout, which is wonderful.
There was an issue with one of the ducts in the main kitchen — it was not going to fit through a space it was intended to go through without some significant adjustment and as we were talking it through, SC was like, wait, why is it so big, this room isn’t that big, so it is almost certainly going to be downsized to something more reasonable AND so will whatever it is connected to. Woot!
I won’t be getting shelving at the end of the bar alley, because the beams are just going to complicate it a little too much to make it worth the effort. I’m back to thinking about a neon sign there.
I’m pretty tired, and will head off to bed soon and hopefully get another decent night’s sleep. A. and I had a long talk, and I think we’re making some headway on talking about some of her big, uncomfortable feelings, many of which are really typical of this age, and the rest of which are really typical of autism. Sometimes, ya just gotta say it out loud to let go of it.
