Lacking

Blogging isn't the only thing that's been lacking lately.  There's a lack of time...  Really, what happens to it?  Just when it seems I might have some, it seems like there's even less.  There's a lack of sleep.  Probably having something to do with the lack of time.  The first thing to go when you need more time, is to cut down on sleep.  There's also a lack of money.  Definitely having something to do with a neverending Foundation Renovation and the contractor who's taken all our money.  And a renovation which also has something to do with the lack of blogging, time and sleep.  The only thing that hasn't been lacking is stress (the root of which is the renovation), work (the root of which is the renovation), and dirt (the root of which is the renovation).  So, "Hallelujah!", 3 1/2 months later,  the renovation is almost done.  Now, hopefully, the stress will be lacking, work will be lacking, and dirt will be lacking.  (Okay, the dirt isn't going anywhere, but at least we're making some progress in cleaning it up.)  And, at last, the blogging will pick up again, time will be more plentiful, sleep will be deep, and money can be saved for the next project.  And a word of advice: don't do a foundation renovation if you don't have to; it costs a lot, makes a big mess, and there's not much to show off in the end.

It only got messier from here.
