Christina Dodd's good news/bad news

The good news: after three months (count 'em, three!), the guy doing the stairways is finally done.


The bad news: the masons ran the well dry and we have no water, which means we're camping out in the world's tallest tent.

The good news: our new couches were delivered.


The bad news: they're the wrong size and we have to wait another six weeks for the right size.

The good news: our front door was finally delivered.


The bad news: okay, there is no bad news. The trim can't be finished until the security people have run their wires, but the door is custom made from black walnut with African mahogany trim, exactly what we asked for, and it's GORGEOUS. (I'll post a better photo when it's completely installed.) The door craftsman was only seven weeks late delivering it (we were told we were lucky -- he's been six months late) and it beats the plywood we've had since we moved in! We're celebrating tonight!

So was it just me, or has there been a bad moon out this week?
