Contractor assessing.

 I can't settle to write a blog post. The insurer's contractor came to measure, assess then submit recommendation and costing.  It now involves flooring, wall, framing, exterior parts, bigger job than I had imagined. And I still don't have responses from the HOA.

Back when I can.

Meanwhile I have the complete Mrs Pargeter on my Kindle to assist my calm. Murders, you know.

  1. Listening to an imaginative murder mystery makes everyday problems seem insignificant . . . almost.

  2. Just breath and watch the murders. They calm me too.

  3. I like Mrs Pargeter but prefer Charles Paris. Especially when he's read by Bill Nighy.
    Sorry to hear about your troubles. Not like you to be brought down.

  7. Murders are so calming, to read — or to watch when they’re not real murders. Thinking about you much of the day.

  8. Nothing like a good murder mystery to calm the nerves. I'm sorry this is becoming larger than anticipated.

  11. When Sue and I watch tv, we often jokingly say that we need a good, gentle British murder. We recently started to watch an American program. There were horrid fights and one brutal killing in the first 5 minutes, maybe 6 minutes if we stretch it. Let’s just say that it was in-your-face violent. Be kind to yourself in this stressful time.

  12. My husband doesn't understand why I listen to true crime podcasts while I work. I tell him I need something to take my mind off the awfulness going on around us.

    Hugs.

  15. Hope you get this settled as best you can. I watch Poirot to calm my nerves w/all the horrible things happening. David Suchet is perfect.

  17. You'll get back in gear. If all goes well, your book will be sent this week -- book rate. I was going to do it today and just remembered it was July 4. Have a lovely fourth as we celebrate what we were and commit to what we will once again be.

  18. FYI - if you need an escape, some of Georgette Heyer's ebooks are on sale in Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble. x
