Patience is not one of my virtues. It has been 100 days since we threw the first sledgehammer on this labor of absolute craziness. 100 days and finally we have not just one, but two permits hanging in that soon-to-be shattered picture window. Please don’t ask why we need two, because I cannot for the life of me explain it. Nor can I explain why these gold-dipped permits (plural) cost close to a mortgage payment. Let’s hope that the next 100 days are a bit more action-packed. Did I mention that patience is not one of my virtues?
I have a love-hate relationship with those among us who have learned to play the various games associated with these gyrations. Somehow, they make peace with the ludicrousness of it all and succeed. For the rest of us…we simply hang on, albeit befuddled. I wish you and yours endurance — and a buoyant spirit.
