The latest block of catering work is done. Whew. Not having a looming deadline is really a nice feeling. I put in some long days, but the magnitude of the responsibility what actually wears me out. Being merely shell-shocked, as I am now, is a tremendous improvement.
Part of the panic of the past week involved putting together a settlement proposal for the contractor. After having spent quite a lot of time working on the issue, I think it will be pretty hard for them to say no to our arguments. Anyway, we were to meet this morning. The builder canceled yesterday afternoon, and put us off until after the holidays. Fuckwad. Well, at least the work in preparing for this is decisively finished, so I can completely ignore it until such time as another meeting is scheduled. Really, this is ridiculous, particularly since we're the ones that are paying them, the only issue is how much and what they have to do to get it. And they've managed to delay this for eighteen months.
Mother comes to visit starting tomorrow afternoon.
And until then - a whole 24 hours with no obligations? Wow, what a concept! The weather is gray and foggy, and I feel like putting my feet up and drinking about two hundred cups of tea.
